Audit Your Codebase Before Migrating to Stateless MCP

Audit Your Codebase Before Migrating to Stateless MCP

Short summary

A hands-on tutorial for auditing codebases before migrating to the stateless MCP 2026-07-28 protocol, which removes session IDs and the initialization handshake. It includes a Node.js dependency scanner that classifies legacy assumptions by migration risk and produces CI-ready reports. The key insight is that 'stateless protocol' does not mean 'stateless application' — hidden state in sessions, sticky routing, and server-initiated requests must be made explicit.

  • •MCP 2026-07-28 removes Mcp-Session-Id, required initialization, and server-initiated requests — audit before migrating
  • •A Node.js scanner classifies legacy patterns (session IDs, sticky routing, resource subscriptions) by high/medium/low risk
  • •Stateless protocol ≠ stateless application: workspace, OAuth, and task state must become explicit and available to any worker
