QwenAudio/qwen-audio-agent starts from the premise that a conversation shouldn't stall while the agent is searching or calling tools.

If you wrote an MCP server before July, it's on a protocol shape the maintainers have already removed. Not deprecated-with-a-migration-window. Removed from the spec. MCP lead maintainers David Soria Parra and Den Delimarsky published an updated roadmap on August 22, and the re...
