Create, inspect, and manage long-running MCP tasks. This row remains unknown for a product until exact, dated evidence covers this capability rather than MCP generally. ## Catalog context - Category: [interfaces](/categories/interfaces.md) - Specification: [mcp](/specs/mcp.md) — revision 2026-07-28 - Aliases: MCP tasks - Family: [Model Context Protocol](/features/mcp.md) - Siblings: [MCP Apps](/features/mcp-apps.md), [MCP cancellation](/features/mcp-cancellation.md), [MCP client role](/features/mcp-client-role.md), [MCP elicitation](/features/mcp-elicitation.md), [MCP legacy HTTP and SSE](/features/mcp-legacy-sse.md), [MCP list-changed notifications](/features/mcp-list-changed.md), [MCP logging](/features/mcp-logging.md), [MCP OAuth authorization](/features/mcp-oauth.md), [MCP progress notifications](/features/mcp-progress.md), [MCP prompt-list notifications](/features/mcp-prompts-list-changed.md), [MCP prompts](/features/mcp-prompts.md), [MCP Registry metadata](/features/mcp-registry.md), [MCP resource subscriptions](/features/mcp-resource-subscriptions.md), [MCP resources](/features/mcp-resources.md), [MCP revision compatibility](/features/mcp-revision.md), [MCP roots](/features/mcp-roots.md), [MCP sampling](/features/mcp-sampling.md), [MCP server instructions](/features/mcp-server-instructions.md), [MCP server role](/features/mcp-server-role.md), [MCP stdio transport](/features/mcp-stdio.md), [MCP Streamable HTTP](/features/mcp-streamable-http.md), [MCP task listing](/features/mcp-task-listing.md), [MCP tools](/features/mcp-tools.md) ## Compatibility assertions Unknown means insufficient published evidence;
