Motivation and Context

How Has This Been Tested?

Breaking Changes

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Checklist

  • I have read the MCP Documentation
  • My code follows the repository's style guidelines
  • New and existing tests pass locally
  • I have added appropriate error handling
  • I have added or updated documentation as needed

Additional context

2. **Informational** SEP describes a Model Context Protocol design issue, or provides general guidelines or information to the MCP community, but does not propose a new feature. Informational SEPs do not necessarily represent a MCP community consensus or recommendation.
3. **Process** SEP describes a process surrounding MCP, or proposes a change to (or an event in) a process. Process SEPs are like Standards Track SEPs but apply to areas other than the MCP protocol itself.

Would it be easier if it's added within the SEP types section, to save readers from having to scroll up?

Here are concrete examples for each SEP type:

1. **Standards Track** — Asynchronous support in MCP ([Transport-agnostic resumable streams #899](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/issues/899))
2. **Informational** — Load balancing with MCP ([Add best practices when using load balancer #325](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/issues/325))

I'm not sure if this example is a good qualifier of SEP. Could you help elaborate?

This would be a good example

I think having examples would actually be good, but we should probably choose examples that were implemented.

Since there hasn't been any movement on this for a while, I will close. If this still seems worth adding, though, feel free to open a new PR!
