MCP 2026-07-28: safe migration and read-only server

MCP connects AI clients with data and tools. The new specification improves HTTP transport, extensions, and the lifecycle, but it does not make a server trustworthy by default.

What you will achieve now

A decision or test applied to “MCP 2026-07-28: safe migration and read-only server”.

  • 1 Understand the criterion
  • 2 Do a small practice exercise
  • 3 Save evidence

A brief note with what you did, what went well, what failed, and what you would review later.

  • Understand what changes and what MCP 2026-07-28 does not guarantee.
  • Test a local read-only server with a sandbox folder.
  • Prepare a migration with pinned versions and least privilege.

What changes in the revision

The official announcement of the 2026-07-28 specification describes a core that can run stateless over common HTTP infrastructure, an extensions framework, and a lifecycle policy so that future revisions do not force a transport rewrite. It does not mean that all SDKs, clients, or servers update at the same time.

Lab path

  • Pin the SDK version and read your client’s changelog.
  • Create sandbox-mcp/ with two fictional documents.
  • Expose only a list_documents tool and a read by identifier.
  • Deny absolute paths, writes, commands, and secrets.
  • Test a malicious input in a document and verify it is treated as content, not as an instruction.

Migration without surprises

Make a copy of the current server, run contract tests, and record transport, authentication, lifecycle, and schema changes. Keep a compatible client during the transition and define a rollback. The specification does not replace a security review.

Learn with a verifiable reference

Aulafy distinguishes stable concepts from data that changes —versions, prices, models, and commands—. Check the course page for the review date, verified scope, and primary sources.

“Editorial review” means that structure, claims, and sources have been reviewed. It does not mean that every command has been executed: when a technical test exists, it will be marked as such.

How all courses connect

This is not a checklist. Start with the foundation, choose an outcome, and go deeper only when your project needs more control.

  1. 1Understand
  2. 2Apply or build
  3. 3Operate with confidence
01

Choose an application

Turn the foundation into a visible outcome: a website, a business improvement, media, or an interactive experience.

Continue into the technical branch when you need to maintain code, data, or infrastructure.

02

Build with code

Prepare your environment, work with coding agents, and run models while keeping control of your projects.

This branch prepares you to design and operate reliable AI systems.

03

Take systems to production

Combine retrieval, agents, evaluation, security, deployment, and model adaptation when the problem requires it.

You do not need every course: choose the component your system needs and return as it grows.
