Claude Code adds support for MCP Tasks and Elicitations

Anthropic's ClaudeDevs account announced support for two MCP features in Claude:

• Tasks let Claude hand plugins long-running jobs, such as deep research, and get a report when they finish.
• Elicitations let plugins ask the user for input mid-task, such as confirming a refund or filling in a missing detail.

Both are available today in the Claude Code CLI, and Anthropic says they will roll out to more Claude products soon. It asks plugin authors to add Tasks and Elicitations to their MCP servers; the Claude Code docs have sections for server authors on Tasks and on responding to elicitation requests.
