Anthropic launched MCP Tasks and Elicitations in Claude Code CLI, enabling durable, interruptible agent workflows with long-running server-side tasks and mid-task user consent, currently limited to three client surfaces excluding VS Code and desktop apps.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and Developer Tools.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You now have a client-native way to run long jobs and embed user prompts mid-task in Claude Code CLI, removing the need for custom polling or workarounds. Builders shipping agent experiences can simplify workflows immediately but beware the feature is not yet on VS Code or desktop clients.
