Vercel MCP now supports the 2026-07-28 MCP specification

Vercel MCP now serves the 2026-07-28 and 2025 protocols from one endpoint, letting newer clients adopt stateless requests and revised authorization without breaking older setups.

Source Summary

Vercel MCP supports the **2026-07-28 specification**, including a stateless request model and updated authorization behavior. Clients that understand it adopt it automatically, while **2025 protocol** clients continue unchanged.

Practical Implication

Keep the existing endpoint and setup. A single connection handles both versions through **MCP SDK v2** and mcp-handler 2.x, reducing the need for version-specific server configuration.

The material names the protocol changes but does not detail their operational consequences. Builders should review the specification changelog before relying on new authorization or stateless behavior in custom clients.

This confirms that Vercel MCP has crossed the same protocol migration boundary already described for mcp-handler while preserving one endpoint and unchanged behavior for 2025 clients. It reduces server-side version branching, but narrows what can safely be inferred: custom clients still need specification-level review before depending on the new stateless and authorization semantics.
