The MCP protocol is very similar to Language Server Protocol (LSP) in design. LSP has the same requests, responses, and notifications setup. Also the initialization with what capabilities the server has it the same.

Normally, LSP when running on a remote server, you would use a continuous (web)socket instead of API requests. This helps with the parsing overhead and provides faster response for small requests. Also requests have cancellation tokens, which makes it possible to cancel a request when it became unnecessary.
