!!! warning "Streamable HTTP only, for now"
`subscriptions/listen` needs a transport that can stream a request's response, which today
means streamable HTTP. Over stdio a 2026-07-28 connection rejects the method with
METHOD_NOT_FOUND, even though `server/discover` advertises the subscription capabilities
there. Serving it over stdio is planned; the open-stream semantics for that transport are
not built yet.

## The client end

Here is a client on the other side of that stream, following the board:

### Change notifications become one stream

At 2026-07-28 the standalone HTTP GET stream and `resources/subscribe` are replaced by `subscriptions/listen`: the client opens one long-lived stream and names the notification kinds it wants. `MCPServer` serves it out of the box; you publish with `await ctx.notify_resource_updated(uri)` (and `notify_tools_changed()`, and so on), and multi-replica deployments plug in a shared `SubscriptionBus`. On the client (since `2.0.0b2`), `async with client.listen(...)` opens the stream: the filter goes in as keyword arguments, typed change events come back, and `sub.honored` is the subset the server agreed to deliver. One honest caveat: over stdio the server does not serve the stream yet.

Resolved

**[Subscriptions](handlers/subscriptions.md)** covers publishing and serving, **[its Clients twin](client/subscriptions.md)** the watching end, and **[Deploy & scale](run/deploy.md)** the bus.
