Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Client and Server exchange their supported protocol versions and capabilities, then the Client sends an initialized notification to complete the setup

The Server downloads the latest MCP specification from modelcontextprotocol.io to ensure it is up to date

The Host registers a new API key with Anthropic so the Server can bill usage to the correct account

The Server scans the Host filesystem to build a resource index before any queries can be made

What happens during the MCP initialization handshake?
