MCP Tasks Extension: Durable Work on a Stateless Core
Stateless MCP does not mean every operation must finish in one request. The official Tasks extension gives long-running work an explicit durable handle. A server can return that handle from `tools/call`, any instance can answer `tasks/get`, and client input arrives through `tasks/update` without reviving protocol sessions.
