MCP gap: services can't push to agents, dev argues spec needs server-initiated events
braelyn_ai · x · 2026-10-28
Developer braelynai highlights a structural gap in the MCP spec: it only lets agents pull from services, with no way for services to push events to an agent — no user request, no heartbeat polling, so nothing arrives. She's trying to build a "discuss this with your agent" feature and found no path in the spec to do it. The point cuts at personal-agent usefulness: without server push, agents stay purely reactive and can't become real assistants.
