Summary
In this chapter, we’ve covered the elicitation process in detail, including how it is initiated and the different scenarios in which it can occur. We’ve also explored the various responses that can be sent back to the server during this process. Elicitation is when the system actively seeks to gather more information from the user in order to fulfill a request or clarify intent.
We’ve also seen how the user can accept as well as abort at different stages of the process.
Finally, elicitation can be a powerful tool for improving user interactions and ensuring that the system is able to meet user needs effectively.
In the next chapter, we’ll explore how to secure your MCP server and client using various authentication methods such as Basic Auth, JWT, and OAuth2.1.
