Cloudflare announced Streamable HTTP, a novel extension to the HTTP protocol designed for efficiently delivering massive context windows to large language models. This innovation addresses the challenge of streaming data for models like Claude 2.1, which support up to 200,000 tokens.
- Streamable HTTP allows servers to stream partial responses to clients, avoiding full buffering and improving data delivery latency.
- The announcement includes a detailed Python implementation for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that leverages Streamable HTTP.
- This MCP server is specifically tailored to provide dynamic context data to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, enhancing their ability to process and utilize real-time information.
- Cloudflare's global network facilitates Streamable HTTP, abstracting its complexities for developers building efficient AI context providers.
