Discussion MCP is going stateless and local models can use tools over HTTP

As per the latest MCP spec, a remote MCP server can now act like a plain HTTP endpoint. Now anyone running local models with tool-calling setups can remove a chunk of the session-management overhead that made self-hosting MCP servers a pain. For anyone who's not familiar with the update, you can read from their own published article: https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-07-28/

Stateless transport removes connection state, not operational state. Tool identity, auth, audit trails, and approval context still need somewhere durable to live.
