Like HTTP, MRCP uses a request (usually issued by the client) and response model. Responses may simply acknowledge receipt of the request or give other information regarding its processing. For example, an MRCP client may request to send some audio [[data]] for processing (say, for speech recognition), to which the server could respond with a message containing a suitable [[port number]] to send the data, since MRCP does not have support for audio data specifically as this would have to be handled by some other protocol, such as [[Real-time Transport Protocol]] (RTP).

CurrentlyMRCP protocol version 2 has been approved as an [[Request for Comments|RFC]] has been approved of MRCP protocol version 2. Version 2 uses [[Session Initiation Protocol|SIP]] for managing sessions and audio streams between the server and the clients, whereas version 1 did not specify the underlying protocol.

MRCP has been adopted by a wide range of commercial voice applications, such as [[IBM WebSphere Voice Server]], [[Microsoft Speech Server]], [[LumenVox Speech Engine]], [[Nuance Recognizer]], and [[Nuance Vocalizer]].
