MCP has this in the spec: it's called "elicitation", and I'm pretty confident this push from OpenAI sets the stage for them to support it.

Once a service can actively involve you and/or your LLM in ongoing interaction, MCP servers start to get real sticky. We can safely assume the install/auth process will also get much less technical as pressure to deliver services to non-technical users increases.

Is there any progress on that front? That would unlock a lot of applications that aren't feasible at the moment.

Edit: Sampling is a piece of the puzzle https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/cli...

I also see a lot of discussion on Github around agent to agent (a2a) capabilities. So it's a big use case, and seems obvious to the people involved with MCP.
