Stateless MCP has recaptured my interest (and inspired mcp-explorer and datasette-mcp)

This article discusses the release of Stateless MCP (Model Context Protocol) 2.0, which simplifies the protocol by eliminating session state and reducing HTTP requests from two to one. The author, a developer, explains how this change rekindled their interest in MCP after it was overshadowed by Skills. They highlight the benefits for auditing, control, and implementation simplicity, especially for smaller models. The article also introduces two new tools built by the author: mcp-explorer and datasette-mcp, showcasing practical applications of the stateless approach. It provides a technical comparison between legacy and stateless MCP with code examples, making it valuable for developers interested in AI agent tooling.
