Events Notifications in MCP | ​Aman Singh | MCP Release Party - Seattle

​Session 4: Events Notifications in MCP ​MCP, the protocol agents use to reach tools and data, can notify a client only while it holds a connection open, and mostly only that something changed, not what. That's about to change. An MCP working group is drafting Events, an upcoming protocol extension that lets agents subscribe to structured event streams. This talk is a brief tour of the proposal and how it is going to shape real-time events in MCP. ​About Speaker: ​Aman Singh is a Principal Software Engineer in the Office of Azure's CTO, where he focuses on Agentic Software Engineering and is a maintainer of Drasi, a CNCF Sandbox project for change-driven architectures. He has had more than 12 years of distributed systems experience at LinkedIn and Microsoft, spanning stream processing (Kafka, Samza), cloud migration, and building new Azure services from the ground up. About the Event: This session was presented at the MCP Release Party hosted on July 28th at Microsoft Reactor in Seattle area. ​This event was hosted as a part of a series of MCP Release Parties taking place simultaneously in cities around the world.
