Volume 9 - Model Context Protocol
Volume 9 builds the Model Context Protocol (MCP) from first principles: why it exists, how it's architected, what it standardizes, and what it deliberately leaves to the host and server to solve. Executable lifecycle fixtures preserve the legacy 2025-11-25 flow for inspection, while production guidance targets the current stateless 2026-07-28 request model and explains compatibility with older clients and servers.

What This Volume Covers
Read the sections in order if you are building from scratch. Experienced readers can jump to a section, but the chapters are sequenced to build vocabulary, mental models, implementation judgment, and architecture readiness.
