> [!NOTE]
> **This is v2 of the MCP Python SDK, the current stable release line.** It is a major rework of the SDK, both to support the [2026-07-28 MCP specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2026-07-28) (and every earlier revision) and to fix long-standing architectural issues. Coming from v1? See [What's new in v2](https://py.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/whats-new/) for the tour of what changed and the [migration guide](https://py.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/migration/) for every breaking change.

> **Not ready to migrate?** v1.x lives on the [`v1.x` branch](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/pytho
