The **elicitation** feature allows servers to request additional information from users during interactions. This enables more dynamic and interactive AI experiences, making it easier to gather necessary context before executing tasks.
The protocol supports two modes of elicitation:
- **Form (In-Band)**: The server requests structured data (strings, numbers, booleans, enums) which the client collects via a form interface and returns to the server.
- **URL Mode**: The server provides a URL for the user to visit (e.g., for OAuth, payments, or sensitive data entry). The interaction happens outside the MCP client.

- **Sensitive credential collection**: When API keys or other secrets must be entered directly on a trusted server page rather than through the MCP client
