Tasks moves to a new Tasks and Events working group

The Model Context Protocol community has moved its Tasks work into a new Tasks and Events working group, according to the project's extension documentation. The documentation describes extensions as opt-in, with a client using an extension only when both client and server declare support in the `extensions` field of their capabilities, and directs MCP client builders to declare support in the `io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities` sent in each request's `_meta` and to read the server's `extensions` from its `server/discover` response. The community-maintained support matrix tracks extension implementations, with Auth extension support (OAuth Client Credentials and Enterprise-Managed Authorization) tracked separately from core MCP authorization features (DCR, CIMD) in the ext-auth repository.

extensions field of their capabilities.

Extension overview #

Support matrix #

Auth extension support (OAuth Client Credentials and Enterprise-Managed Authorization) is tracked separately from the core MCP authorization features (DCR, CIMD). Check each extension’s specification and the

ext-auth repositoryfor the latest implementation status.

Adding extension support to your client #

If you’re building an MCP client and want to implement extension support:
1. Review the extension specification (e.g., in the [ext-auth](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-auth) or[ext-apps](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps) repository)
  1. Declare support in the extensions field of theio.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities your client sends in each request’s_meta , and read the server’sextensions from itsserver/discover response
  2. Implement the extension’s protocol requirements
  3. Submit a pull request to update this matrix
