* feat: vendor spec schema types per-version
Copies schema/{version}/schema.ts from the modelcontextprotocol spec
repo into src/spec-types/{version}.ts so the conformance suite can type
against draft spec versions before any SDK ships them.
npm run sync-schema -- <ref> refreshes the copies and records the spec
commit in src/spec-types/SOURCE.
* feat: add Connection abstraction and RunContext
Connection encapsulates how the conformance suite talks to a
server-under-test for a given spec version:
- connectStateful: 2025-x lifecycle. Thin adapter over the SDK Client
(initialize handshake, session id, SSE handled by the SDK).
- connectStateless: 2026-x lifecycle (SEP-2575). Raw fetch with
per-request _meta + MCP-Protocol-Version header. Decoupled from the
SDK so the suite can test draft spec versions before the SDK
implements them.
connectFor(specVersion) picks the implementation. RunContext bundles
serverUrl, specVersion and a bound connect() for the runner to hand to
each scenario.
Nothing uses this yet; wiring follows in the next commit.
* refactor: thread RunContext through ClientScenario.run
ClientScenario.run(serverUrl) becomes run(ctx: RunContext). The runner
builds the context from --spec-version and the server URL; scenarios
destructure ctx.serverUrl and otherwise behave identically.
No scenario uses ctx.connect() yet, so behaviour is unchanged: 214/214
tests pass, all-scenarios.test.ts still drives the everything-server
fixture exactly as before.
Test files use a testContext(url) helper to construct a RunContext.
The authorization-server scenario list is retyped to
ClientScenarioForAuthorizationServer since those scenarios test an
OAuth server, not an MCP server, and keep run(serverUrl).
* refactor: migrate server scenarios to ctx.connect() + conn.request()
22 carry-forward and lifecycle scenarios now go through the Connection
abstraction instead of connectToServer + SDK Client:
- tools.ts (8): list, call x6, with-progress
- prompts.ts (5)
- resources.ts (7): list, read x3, subscribe x2, not-found
- utils.ts (3): completion, ping, set-level
- json-schema-2020-12.ts, caching.ts, http-standard-headers.ts
Result types come from spec-types/{introducedIn}. Same scenario code
now passes under both --spec-version 2025-11-25 (SDK-backed stateful)
and --spec-version draft (raw stateless).
ToolsCallSampling/Elicitation/WithLogging and elicitation-* keep
connectToServer (need setRequestHandler/setLoggingLevel SDK surface);
they are tagged removedIn: DRAFT in the next commit. stateless.ts and
input-required-result.ts keep their sendRpc helper; migrating those is
deferred to the DRAFT-scenario coherence pass.
* fix: normalize Connection error to JsonRpcError; clean up RunContext import
connectStateful now catches the SDK's McpError and rethrows as
JsonRpcError so scenarios always see the same error class regardless
of which Connection impl ran. ResourcesNotFoundError uses
instanceof JsonRpcError instead of duck-typing.
types.ts uses a normal top-level import for RunContext instead of an
inline import() type.
* fix(dns-rebinding): use version-appropriate probe body
The 'valid Host accepted' check was sending an initialize body, which
a 2026 server returns 404 for. Probe body is now picked from
ctx.specVersion: initialize for the stateful lifecycle, server/discover
with _meta for the stateless lifecycle. The Host/Origin rejection check
is unchanged since rejection happens before body parsing.
* feat(everything-server): route stateless carry-forward methods to McpServer
Adds an in-memory dispatch client connected to the same McpServer the
stateful path uses. Stateless requests for tools/call, resources/*,
prompts/get and completion/complete that fall through the MRTR-specific
handlers are routed to it, so the fixture serves the carry-forward
scenarios under --spec-version draft without duplicating ~500 lines of
tool/resource/prompt registrations.
tools/list now merges the McpServer's tool list with the MRTR-only
stubs so json-schema-2020-12 finds its tool.
draft suite against the fixture: 36/39 (was 13/39). Remaining 3 are
fixture-side SEP gaps (no SSE forwarding for progress, no SEP-2549
ttlMs, no SEP-2243 Mcp-Method validation in the stateless path).
* refactor(connection): drop unused RequestOptions; move sdk-client; add tests
Addresses self-review findings on the new connection module:
- RequestOptions.handlers/.meta and ServerRequestHandler removed: zero
callers (the scenarios that motivated them are deferred). They can be
reintroduced when something actually uses them.
- scenarios/server/client-helper.ts moved to connection/sdk-client.ts so
the connection module no longer depends on the scenarios module.
- connectStateless: handle CRLF SSE event separators; throw a useful
error for non-JSON/non-SSE responses instead of a JSON parse error.
- JSONRPCNotification consistently imported from spec-types/2025-11-25.
- New connection.test.ts (8 tests) covering connectFor selection,
_meta injection, error mapping, SSE LF/CRLF parsing, and the
server-request-on-stream rejection.
* fix: address bughunt findings (response.ok check; targetVersion naming)
- connectStateless: throw on non-2xx responses that lack a JSON-RPC
error envelope (e.g. gateway/framework error JSON), matching the
stateful path's behavior. Previously such a response would return
undefined as the result.
- json-schema-2020-12: rename negotiatedVersion to targetVersion and
reword the skip message and details field. The value is ctx.specVersion
(the run's --spec-version), not a negotiated version; the old wording
was misleading. Drop dead 'unknown' fallback (specVersion is required)
and the corresponding undefined test cases.
* fix(sse-multiple-streams): keep scenario in draft; version-aware request scaffolding
Concurrent POSTs each answered with JSON or their own SSE stream are
core transport behavior in the draft spec too, so removedIn was wrong
for this scenario. Only the request scaffolding is version-specific:
stateful runs keep the initialize/session-id setup, draft runs send
_meta + the MCP-Protocol-Version header on each request instead. The
two checks are unchanged.
* refactor: fold stateless-client helpers into connection/stateless
The two stateless request paths were ~90% duplicated:
- scenarios/server/stateless-client.ts (main #319): buildStandardHeaders,
withRequestMeta, readSseJsonRpcResponse, sendStatelessRequest -> raw
{status, body}; sends Mcp-Method/Mcp-Name (SEP-2243); has timeout
- connection/stateless.ts (this PR): connectStateless -> Connection.request
-> throws JsonRpcError; missing Mcp-Method/Mcp-Name; no timeout
connection/stateless.ts now exports both layers:
- low-level sendStatelessRequest() (and the building blocks) moved verbatim
from stateless-client.ts
- connectStateless() rebuilt as a thin wrapper over sendStatelessRequest():
classifies SSE events into the notification sink, surfaces server->client
requests on the response stream as a spec violation, throws JsonRpcError
on error responses
So connectStateless() now also picks up the SEP-2243 headers and the 10s
timeout that the previous impl lacked.
stateless-client.ts deleted; its 4 importers + test file repointed at
'../../connection'. Test file moved to connection/stateless.test.ts.

* fix(everything-server): make stateless resources reach the carry-forward dispatch
The merge of main left two competing handler sets for resources/read,
resources/list and resources/templates/list: the inline stateless handlers
(test://stateless-static-text + a catch-all -32602) and the carry-forward
dispatch to the McpServer-registered resources. The catch-all made the
carry-forward unreachable, so test://static-text, test://static-binary and
the templates errored under --spec-version draft.
Now resources/list and resources/templates/list dispatch to the McpServer and
merge with the inline entries (same pattern as tools/list and prompts/list),
and resources/read keeps the inline static-text response but falls through to
the carry-forward for unknown URIs (preserving SEP-2164 data.uri on errors).
Also wrap the tools/list and prompts/list dispatch in try/finally so
dispatch.close() always runs, matching tools/call.

* fix(scenarios): send SEP-2243 Mcp-Method header on hand-rolled stateless requests
sse-multiple-streams and dns-rebinding bypass sendStatelessRequest() because
they need raw fetch/undici for low-level inspection, but their hand-built
draft-path headers omitted Mcp-Method, so a strictly-conformant draft server
would 400 them before the behaviour under test runs. Build the headers via
buildStandardHeaders() instead, layering the scenario-specific overrides
(Accept ordering, Host/Origin) on top.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(runner): infer draft spec version for draft-only scenarios
When --spec-version is omitted, the runner defaulted to LATEST_SPEC_VERSION,
so draft-only scenarios (caching, resources-not-found, ...) silently ran over
the stateful connection instead of the stateless draft transport they were
written for; all-scenarios.test.ts had the same problem via testContext().
Infer the spec version from scenario.source.introducedIn (as negative.test.ts
already does) when no explicit version is given.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(connection): only throw JsonRpcError for properly-shaped error objects
connectStateless() destructured response.body.error unconditionally, so a
proxy returning {"error": "upstream timeout"} produced a JsonRpcError with
undefined code/message and lost the HTTP status. Require an object with a
numeric code before treating it as a JSON-RPC error; otherwise surface the
HTTP status and raw body in the thrown Error. Adds a unit test for the
non-conformant 502 case.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(connection): align connectStateful normalization with connectStateless
Two consistency nits from automated review:
- Collected notifications were missing the jsonrpc field (the SDK's Zod
parsing strips it), violating the JSONRPCNotification type contract.
- McpError messages kept the SDK's "MCP error <code>: " prefix, so
JsonRpcError.message differed between the stateful and stateless impls.
Also restore progressToken filtering in tools-call-with-progress, which was
lost when the scenario migrated from the SDK onprogress callback to
conn.notifications: the server must echo the request's token back, and
notifications for other tokens are now ignored.

* feat(runner): skip inapplicable scenario/spec-version combos; add --force; plumb spec version to the wire
Running a draft-only scenario with an explicit dated --spec-version (e.g.
server-stateless --spec-version 2025-11-25) used to silently pass: the flag
only affected ctx.connect(), which hand-rolling scenarios never call, so
they sent draft requests regardless and the run looked green while testing
nothing the flag claimed.
Three changes:
- buildStandardHeaders / withRequestMeta / sendStatelessRequest /
connectStateless accept an optional specVersion (default: draft), and
hand-rolling scenarios pass ctx.specVersion through, so requests declare
the version the run was invoked with.
- The runner skips (exit 0) when an explicit --spec-version falls outside
the scenario's introducedIn/removedIn window, with a message instead of
a misleading green run.
- A new --force flag overrides the skip for deliberate mismatch probing;
combined with the plumbing, a forced server-stateless run at 2025-11-25
now genuinely sends that version (8/20 checks pass against the
everything-server instead of a vacuous 26/26).

* feat(everything-server): serve resources and caching hints on the stateless draft path
The stateless (SEP-2575) request path now answers resources/list,
resources/templates/list and resources/read — including the SEP-2164
-32602 + data.uri error for unknown URIs — and includes the SEP-2549
ttlMs/cacheScope hints on its cacheable list results, matching what the
draft-spec scenarios exercise.
* feat: make the harness's own draft-spec traffic conformant
Fixes the class of issues where a strictly-conformant SDK rejects the
harness's requests for reasons unrelated to the behaviour under test
(#311, #312, #315).
- add a shared stateless draft request helper (draft-client.ts) that puts
the cross-cutting SEP-2243 headers (Mcp-Method, Mcp-Name,
MCP-Protocol-Version, Accept) and SEP-2575 _meta (protocolVersion,
clientInfo, clientCapabilities) on every request, with overrides for
negative cases and the SHOULD-level retry on
UnsupportedProtocolVersionError
- migrate the draft scenarios onto it: the SEP-2322 helpers and
server-stateless now send Mcp-Method/Mcp-Name (#312); the SEP-2243
server scenarios drop the legacy initialize handshake and carry _meta on
every raw request (#311); caching and sep-2164-resource-not-found are
stateless DRAFT-2026-v1 requests instead of an SDK 2025-11-25 session
(#315)
- add a draft self-conformance gate (draft-self-conformance.test.ts) that
points the harness's own draft drivers at the existing client-testing
judge scenarios (request-metadata, http-standard-headers) and requires
zero failures or warnings
- align the request-metadata mock's unsupported-version rejection with the
draft schema (-32004) and teach the everything-client to recognize it
- rewrite the SEP-2549/SEP-2164 negative example servers as stateless
draft servers so they keep exercising the violation, not the transport
* refactor: rename the stateless request helpers and harden them per review
- rename draft-client.ts to stateless-client.ts and name the helpers by
feature (sendStatelessRequest, buildStandardHeaders, buildRequestMeta,
withRequestMeta, CONFORMANCE_CLIENT_INFO); 'draft' now only appears in
DRAFT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, the one name that tracks the moving target
- retry only genuine UnsupportedProtocolVersionError rejections (-32004,
tolerating -32001/-32602) and only with recognized versions; record the
retry on the response
- parse text/event-stream responses incrementally and resolve on the
matching event instead of blocking until the timeout
- keep the MCP-Protocol-Version header and _meta protocolVersion in sync
when the version is overridden via meta overrides
- make server-stateless's sendRpc SSE-tolerant
- emit explicit setup failures in the SEP-2243 server scenarios when the
tools/list discovery fails instead of misleading per-case results
- latch the worst status per check in the request-metadata judge so an
early violation cannot be masked by a later conformant request
- rename the gate to harness-traffic-conformance.test.ts and derive its
driver list from the draft suite with documented per-judge exclusions
(35 pairings)
- everything-server: advertise resources in stateless server/discover and
use -32004 for unsupported protocol version
- add unit tests for the helper (retry guard, SSE handling, header/_meta
version sync, default headers)
* refactor: slim the stateless client helper for the initial merge
* feat: split draft-spec scenarios into their own suite
- add --suite draft to the server command, selecting scenarios whose
source.introducedIn is the draft protocol version
- exclude draft scenarios from the default active suite until the draft
spec is published as a dated release
- derive the client command's draft suite from source.introducedIn so the
non-auth draft scenarios (SEP-2243/2575/2322/2106) are included alongside
the auth ones
- keep everything-server self-test coverage for draft scenarios in
all-scenarios.test.ts (active + non-pending draft)
- document available suites in the README and add suite-membership tests
* fix: repair broken specReferences URLs
- SEP-986: SEP/SEP-986.md no longer exists in the spec repo; point at the
Tool Names section of the published 2025-11-25 tools page instead
- SEP-990: the ext-auth spec file is enterprise-managed-authorization.mdx,
not enterprise-oauth.mdx
Fixes#313
* chore: refresh SEP traceability manifest after #303 and #304
Regenerated from a full client+server suite run against
typescript-sdk@258f1a04a5d3 on current main:
- sep-2468: the two new client checks are emitted (tested) and the two
authorization-server rows move to excluded (#304)
- sep-2243: 12 rows flip to tested now that the custom-header check IDs
match their requirements (#303)
* chore: regenerate the manifest on top of SEP-2106 (#295)
Re-ran both suites after rebasing onto main so the manifest also picks
up the new sep-2106 block (1 tested, 4 excluded, 3 untracked check IDs
emitted by the server scenario with no yaml row yet).
* chore: add SEP-2106 requirement-traceability YAML (tools JSON Schema 2020-12)
* Drop structured-content text-fallback row from SEP-2106
That SHOULD predates SEP-2106 (pre-existing context line in tools.mdx); 2106
only relaxes structuredContent to allow non-object values (permissive). Point
spec_url at the SEP doc security section where the remaining obligations live.
* feat: SEP-2106 JSON Schema 2020-12 vocabulary preservation checks
Extend the json-schema-2020-12 server scenario (previously SEP-1613 only) with
three checks that verify the broader JSON Schema 2020-12 vocabulary SEP-2106
permits in a tool inputSchema survives tools/list rather than being stripped:
composition (allOf/anyOf), conditional (if/then/else), and reference ($anchor)
keywords.
- everything-server: add these keywords to json_schema_2020_12_tool's raw schema
- add a negative-test server (sep-2106-stripped-schema.ts) plus a negative test
asserting the checks emit FAILURE when the vocabulary is stripped
* feat: SEP-2106 client scenario for network $ref dereferencing
Add json-schema-ref-no-deref, a client-suite scenario that advertises a tool
whose inputSchema contains a $ref pointing at a canary URL hosted by the
scenario. The sep-2106-no-network-ref-deref check fails if the client fetches
the canary while processing the schema, covering the SEP-2106 requirement that
implementations MUST NOT automatically dereference network-URI $ref values.
- register the scenario in the client scenarios list
- everything-client: handle the scenario with the basic connect+listTools flow
- tests: compliant client passes, a deliberately dereferencing client is
caught, and a client that never lists tools cannot pass
* Address review findings in SEP-2106 scenarios
- json-schema-ref-deref: make getChecks() idempotent (fresh array per call,
matching the http-standard-headers convention) and guard the async /mcp
handler like the example servers do
- json-schema-2020-12: include the SEP-2106 keywords ($anchor, allOf/anyOf,
if/then/else) in the description's example inputSchema so a server that
copies it verbatim passes the new checks
- sep-2106-stripped-schema: default to port 3007 to match negative.test.ts and
avoid sharing a default with sep-2549-no-caching-hints
* Soft-gate SEP-2106 keyword checks on the negotiated protocol version
The json-schema-2020-12 scenario is introducedIn 2025-11-25 (SEP-1613) but the
three SEP-2106 keyword-preservation checks test draft-era behavior. Rather than
failing servers that only negotiated 2025-11-25, gate the failure on the wire
protocolVersion from the initialize handshake: preserved keywords are SUCCESS at
any version, stripped keywords are FAILURE only when the server negotiated the
draft version and SKIPPED otherwise.
The published SDK does not advertise the draft version yet, so the negative test
asserts SKIPPED for the stripped-schema server; the FAILURE branch is covered by
unit tests on sep2106KeywordCheckStatus.
Add two client scenarios for the SEP-2468 requirements that had no
conformance coverage:
- auth/metadata-issuer-mismatch: the AS metadata document declares an
issuer that differs from the issuer identifier used to construct the
well-known URL; the client must not use the metadata
(sep-2468-client-validate-metadata-issuer).
- auth/iss-normalized: the authorization redirect carries an iss value
that only matches the recorded issuer after URL normalization; the
client must compare with simple string comparison and reject
(sep-2468-client-no-normalization).
The two authorization-server-side rows (AS SHOULD include iss, AS MUST
advertise authorization_response_iss_parameter_supported) are excluded:
observing iss in an authorization response requires driving an
Authorization Code Grant against the AS under test, which the
authorization-server suite does not implement yet (#208).
The x-mcp-header / Mcp-Param / Base64 half of SEP-2243 was already tested,
but the scenarios emitted one check ID per test case while sep-2243.yaml
declares one per normative requirement, so the traceability join (exact ID
match) reported 14 of 20 requirements as untested. #287 collapsed the
standard-header IDs but left the custom-header ones per-case.
This finishes the rename and adds DECLARED_CHECK_IDS backfill (the
request-metadata.ts pattern) so every requirement-level ID is emitted on
every run — exercised, backfilled as FAILURE, or SKIPPED when the server
under test exposes no x-mcp-header tool. SEP-2243 traceability goes from
6/20 to 18/20 tested; the remaining 2 (server-not-expect-null,
server-reject-missing-required) have no test case yet.
Client scenarios:
- param-header-{name} -> client-mirrors-designated-params /
client-encode-values / client-base64-unsafe, picked by what the
parameter exercises
- no-mirror-unannotated -> client-mirrors-designated-params
- param-header-tool-call-gate -> client-supports-custom-headers, now also
emitted SUCCESS when the annotated tool is called with Mcp-Param headers
- the invalid-tool loop emits the specific x-mcp-header constraint each
tool violates (not-empty / charset / unique / primitive-only)
Server scenarios:
- accepts-valid-base64 -> server-decode-base64
- rejects-invalid-base64-{padding,chars} -> server-reject-invalid-param-chars
- literal-missing-base64-{prefix,suffix} -> server-validate-param-match
- rejects-missing-custom-header -> server-validate-param-match
- every custom-header rejection's -32001 check -> server-reject-param-mismatch
- standard-header reject cases pass the coarse ID through the catch path too
'All scopes required for the current operation' has no harness-observable
ground truth: the WWW-Authenticate challenge is the only place the server
declares what an operation requires, so there is nothing independent to
compare it against. Detecting the negative (incremental challenging) would
need server-side auth scenarios that do not exist yet and would exercise the
example app's scope configuration rather than SDK behavior, and the spec
explicitly permits dynamic per-request scope determination, so a second
challenge is not conclusively non-conformant.
The client-side half of SEP-2350 (scope union on re-authorization) remains
tested by auth/scope-step-up.
* chore: refresh SEP traceability manifest (typescript-sdk@main)
Regenerated from a client+server suite run against typescript-sdk@5fc42e9be115
following the recipe in .github/workflows/traceability.yml.
New entries since the last refresh (typescript-sdk@22595b96):
- SEP-2322 (MRTR, #188): 17 tested, 0 untested, 16 excluded, 3 untracked
- SEP-2549 (TTL for list results, #275): 7 tested, 0 untested, 13 excluded
- SEP-2260: 12 excluded rows, no checks
- SEP-2207: yaml rows added since the last refresh now appear
(1 tested, 1 untested: sep-2207-server-no-offline-access)
No previously-tested requirement regressed.
* Exclude sep-2207 server offline_access guidance until RS auth scenarios exist
sep-2207-server-no-offline-access was declared in the yaml but no scenario
emits it, so it surfaced as the only untested requirement in the refreshed
manifest. The check needs to probe the SDK server's Protected Resource
Metadata scopes_supported and WWW-Authenticate challenge scope, and the
server suite does not yet exercise the SDK server as an OAuth protected
resource at all.
Mark the requirement excluded with a pointer to #116 (server-side
authorization baseline) rather than leaving it as a permanently-untested
row; revisit when server-side authorization scenarios land.
* chore: additional server conformance tests for SEP-2575
* fix(sep-2575): use the spec's notifications filter object in subscriptions/listen
The scenario sent params.subscriptions: [{type: 'tools/list-changed'}], a
shape that does not exist in the SEP. SubscriptionsListenRequestParams
requires params.notifications: {toolsListChanged?, promptsListChanged?, ...}
(see schema.ts SubscriptionFilter and the canonical
SubscriptionsListenRequest example). A compliant server would either reject
the old request as invalid params or treat it as subscribing to nothing,
failing the ack/list-changed checks.
Also makes the everything-server's acknowledgment echo the agreed
notifications filter, as the SubscriptionsAcknowledgedNotification schema
requires.
* fix(sep-2575): match the spec's notifications/*/list_changed method names
The list-changed checks and the everything-server used
notifications/tools/list-changed (hyphen); the spec's method is
notifications/tools/list_changed (underscore) per ToolListChangedNotification
/ PromptListChangedNotification in schema.ts. With the hyphen form the
notification-filter check cannot catch a real leak, and the list-changed
checks fail a server that emits the correct name.
Also drops the f.params.toolsListChanged === true fallback match: that field
is the subscriptions/listen request filter, not a notification parameter, so
it never appears on a compliant server's notification.
* fix(sep-2575): keep collected frames when the listen stream read times out
listenToStream aborts the fetch after timeoutMs. If the abort fired while
blocked in reader.read(), the rejection propagated to the outer catch and the
helper returned [] — discarding every frame already received. A compliant
server holds a subscriptions/listen stream open indefinitely, so the timeout
is the *normal* way these reads end; previously every subscription check
would report a false 'no frames received' FAILURE against such a server.
The current everything-server only avoided this by res.end()ing immediately
after the ack.
* fix(sep-2575): open the listen stream before triggering list mutations
The notification-filter and list-changed checks fired the mutation trigger
*before* opening the subscriptions/listen stream. A compliant server only
delivers list-changed notifications to streams that are open at the time of
the change, so the SHOULD checks would fail any server that does not replay
past changes to new subscribers, and the filter check could never observe a
real leak.
listenToStream now takes an onFirstFrame hook; the three trigger-based
checks open the stream, wait for the acknowledgment, then fire the mutation
on a separate connection and keep reading.
The everything-server now keeps subscriptions/listen streams open, registers
them with their filters, and fans the list_changed notification out to open
streams when a trigger tool runs - instead of unconditionally emitting a
list-changed frame on every stream open (which itself violated the
notification-filter requirement in spirit: it announced a change when
nothing had changed).
* fix(sep-2575): check the subscription id on every listen-stream notification
server-tags-subscription-id only inspected the acknowledgment frame, so a
server that tags the ack but omits io.modelcontextprotocol/subscriptionId
from subsequent notifications passed. The check now triggers a tool-list
change once the stream is acknowledged and asserts every notification frame
on the stream carries the id in params._meta.
Also drops the f.body.method / f.params.method fallbacks when resolving a
frame's method - those shapes don't exist in JSON-RPC and only masked
malformed frames.
* fix(sep-2575): report WARNING, not FAILURE, for the SHOULD-level list-changed checks
The spec text behind server-sends-{tools,prompts}-list-changed-on-subscription
is a SHOULD ('servers that declared the listChanged capability SHOULD send a
notification...'). Severity follows the spec keyword: MUST -> FAILURE,
SHOULD -> WARNING. runCheck now accepts a warning flag and the two
list-changed checks use it on their failure paths.
* fix(sep-2575): skip stream checks when the diagnostic tool is not exposed
http-server-no-independent-requests-on-stream and
server-no-log-without-loglevel reported SUCCESS when the server rejected the
tools/call outright (e.g. test_streaming_elicitation / test_logging_tool do
not exist): a single error frame contains no independent request and no log
notification, so the check passed without exercising anything. The sibling
list-changed checks already SKIP when their trigger tool is missing; these
now do the same.
* chore(sep-2575): exclude the four unobservable server requirements from traceability
Marks the section-C rows of #296 as excluded rather than untested:
no-prior-context, no-connection-reuse-required, disconnect-is-cancel and
stops-on-cancel describe internal server state that a black-box harness
cannot observe on the wire. With these excluded and the part-B checks landed,
every testable server-side SEP-2575 requirement is covered; the remaining
untested rows are all client-side and blocked on a SEP-2575-aware reference
client.
* fix(sep-2575): emit the request-metadata checks even when the client never connects
The reference SDK conformance client has no handler registered for the
request-metadata scenario, so it exits without sending a request, the
scenario emits zero checks, the suite reports "0 passed, 0 failed", and the
traceability manifest records all seven client-side requirements as
untested.
Declare the scenario check IDs up front and backfill any that were never
emitted as FAILURE from getChecks(): the emitted ID set is now the same for
every client, and a client that never connects fails loudly. A check that
is legitimately not applicable opts out by being emitted as SKIPPED
explicitly (version-header-matches-meta now does this when either version
field is absent). The positive-path test pins the declared list against the
reference client in both directions.

* chore: additional server conformance tests for SEP-2575
* fix(sep-2575): use the spec's notifications filter object in subscriptions/listen
The scenario sent params.subscriptions: [{type: 'tools/list-changed'}], a
shape that does not exist in the SEP. SubscriptionsListenRequestParams
requires params.notifications: {toolsListChanged?, promptsListChanged?, ...}
(see schema.ts SubscriptionFilter and the canonical
SubscriptionsListenRequest example). A compliant server would either reject
the old request as invalid params or treat it as subscribing to nothing,
failing the ack/list-changed checks.
Also makes the everything-server's acknowledgment echo the agreed
notifications filter, as the SubscriptionsAcknowledgedNotification schema
requires.
* fix(sep-2575): match the spec's notifications/*/list_changed method names
The list-changed checks and the everything-server used
notifications/tools/list-changed (hyphen); the spec's method is
notifications/tools/list_changed (underscore) per ToolListChangedNotification
/ PromptListChangedNotification in schema.ts. With the hyphen form the
notification-filter check cannot catch a real leak, and the list-changed
checks fail a server that emits the correct name.
Also drops the f.params.toolsListChanged === true fallback match: that field
is the subscriptions/listen request filter, not a notification parameter, so
it never appears on a compliant server's notification.
* fix(sep-2575): keep collected frames when the listen stream read times out
listenToStream aborts the fetch after timeoutMs. If the abort fired while
blocked in reader.read(), the rejection propagated to the outer catch and the
helper returned [] — discarding every frame already received. A compliant
server holds a subscriptions/listen stream open indefinitely, so the timeout
is the *normal* way these reads end; previously every subscription check
would report a false 'no frames received' FAILURE against such a server.
The current everything-server only avoided this by res.end()ing immediately
after the ack.
* fix(sep-2575): open the listen stream before triggering list mutations
The notification-filter and list-changed checks fired the mutation trigger
*before* opening the subscriptions/listen stream. A compliant server only
delivers list-changed notifications to streams that are open at the time of
the change, so the SHOULD checks would fail any server that does not replay
past changes to new subscribers, and the filter check could never observe a
real leak.
listenToStream now takes an onFirstFrame hook; the three trigger-based
checks open the stream, wait for the acknowledgment, then fire the mutation
on a separate connection and keep reading.
The everything-server now keeps subscriptions/listen streams open, registers
them with their filters, and fans the list_changed notification out to open
streams when a trigger tool runs - instead of unconditionally emitting a
list-changed frame on every stream open (which itself violated the
notification-filter requirement in spirit: it announced a change when
nothing had changed).
* fix(sep-2575): check the subscription id on every listen-stream notification
server-tags-subscription-id only inspected the acknowledgment frame, so a
server that tags the ack but omits io.modelcontextprotocol/subscriptionId
from subsequent notifications passed. The check now triggers a tool-list
change once the stream is acknowledged and asserts every notification frame
on the stream carries the id in params._meta.
Also drops the f.body.method / f.params.method fallbacks when resolving a
frame's method - those shapes don't exist in JSON-RPC and only masked
malformed frames.
* fix(sep-2575): report WARNING, not FAILURE, for the SHOULD-level list-changed checks
The spec text behind server-sends-{tools,prompts}-list-changed-on-subscription
is a SHOULD ('servers that declared the listChanged capability SHOULD send a
notification...'). Severity follows the spec keyword: MUST -> FAILURE,
SHOULD -> WARNING. runCheck now accepts a warning flag and the two
list-changed checks use it on their failure paths.
* fix(sep-2575): skip stream checks when the diagnostic tool is not exposed
http-server-no-independent-requests-on-stream and
server-no-log-without-loglevel reported SUCCESS when the server rejected the
tools/call outright (e.g. test_streaming_elicitation / test_logging_tool do
not exist): a single error frame contains no independent request and no log
notification, so the check passed without exercising anything. The sibling
list-changed checks already SKIP when their trigger tool is missing; these
now do the same.
* chore(sep-2575): exclude the four unobservable server requirements from traceability
Marks the section-C rows of #296 as excluded rather than untested:
no-prior-context, no-connection-reuse-required, disconnect-is-cancel and
stops-on-cancel describe internal server state that a black-box harness
cannot observe on the wire. With these excluded and the part-B checks landed,
every testable server-side SEP-2575 requirement is covered; the remaining
untested rows are all client-side and blocked on a SEP-2575-aware reference
client.

* Add SEP-2350 scope-accumulation check to auth/scope-step-up
SEP-2350 clarifies that on step-up re-authorization, clients SHOULD
compute the union of previously-granted and newly-challenged scopes so
they don't lose permissions for other operations.
- Traceability yaml: 1 client check (two spec sentences merged), 1 server
check tracked for a future server-side scenario, 1 excluded reword
- ScopeStepUpAuthScenario now challenges with only the missing scope so
union accumulation is observable on the second authorization request
- New check sep-2350-scope-union-on-reauth (WARNING when the previously
granted scope is dropped)
- everything-client withOAuthRetry now accumulates prior token scope into
the re-auth scope (passing example)
- New auth-test-echo-scope negative client + vitest case
* feat: add client conformance tests for SEP-2575 (#270)
* feat: merge latest request-metadata scenario stacked branch
* test: implement optional capability conditional checks and simulated negotiation retry
* fix(sep-2243): collapse check IDs to one-per-requirement (#287)
The sep-2243 scenario check IDs drifted from the requirement-traceability
yaml in #259 — the code emitted one ID per test case while the yaml
declares one per normative requirement, so the IDs no longer matched.
Rename the emitted IDs so a check ID maps to a single MUST/SHOULD and is
emitted once per case (the per-case detail moves to name/description),
matching the repo's existing 'same id, vary status/message' convention:
- mcp-method-header-* / mcp-name-header-* -> client-includes-standard-headers
- reject-invalid-tool-* / keep-valid-tool -> client-reject-invalid-tool
- server-accepts-{lower,upper}case-name -> header-name-case-insensitive
- server reject status checks (mismatch/missing/case x method/name)
-> server-reject-invalid-headers
- their error-code variants -> server-reject-error-code
Merge the yaml's server-reject-mismatch + server-reject-status into one
server-reject-invalid-headers MUST (HTTP 400 on a header-validation
failure); keep server-reject-error-code as the SHOULD. Base64/custom-header
rejection checks keep their own param-validation IDs (out of scope here).
Gates and the whitespace-acceptance check keep their scenario-matching
names. No behavior change — only check IDs, descriptions, and the yaml.

* feat: add sdk subcommand to run conformance against any SDK ref (#250)
* Revise sdk runner: explicit --mode, KNOWN_SDKS-only config, v1/v2 entries
Addresses review feedback on the sdk subcommand:
- Require --mode (client|server) and remove "both". Each invocation now
tests exactly one side with its own exit code; the old default ran
client then server but combined exit codes with ||=, which skipped the
server side entirely whenever the client run failed.
- Resolve build/run config from KNOWN_SDKS + CLI flags only; drop the
conformance.config.yaml loader (no SDK ships one yet). The Zod schema
stays as the type for the built-in entries.
- Split the typescript entry by major version: typescript-sdk (v2/main,
pnpm install + build:all, expected-failures.yaml) and typescript-sdk-v1
(v1.x, npm ci + build, conformance-baseline.yml). An entry may set
`repo` (real clone target for an alias) and `defaultRef` (branch used
when no @ref is given). parseSdkSpec now leaves ref undefined when
omitted so defaultRef can apply; a trailing @ is treated as no ref.
- Key the clone cache by ref (<repo>/<ref>) so different refs of the same
repo no longer share one checkout.
- Bound the server readiness probe with a per-request AbortSignal timeout
so a server that accepts the socket but never responds can't hang past
the overall deadline.

* Fix stateless scenario source field and report SKIPPED for inapplicable capability checks
- Add the required `source` field (DRAFT) so the scenario typechecks and is
selectable via --spec-version. Without it the class did not satisfy the
ClientScenario interface and s.source was dereferenced by the spec-version
filter at list time.
- Teach runCheck about a SKIPPED status and use it for the two client-capability
checks when the server does not return -32003, instead of reporting a green
PASS for a requirement that was never exercised.
* Remove unimplemented placeholder checks from stateless server scenario
The subscriptions/listen, statelessness-invariant, list-changed and
disconnect-is-cancel checks emitted SUCCESS without probing the server,
which inflated coverage in the traceability report. Drop them until they
have real assertions; the corresponding rows remain declared in
src/seps/sep-2575.yaml so traceability shows them as not-yet-covered.
Also fix the checkErrorId helper to push under the
sep-2575-http-server-error-jsonrpc-id slug so its failure path actually
short-circuits the aggregate SUCCESS check at the end of the scenario.

* SEP-2352: authorization-server migration scenario (#286)
* Add SEP-2352 authorization-server migration scenario
SEP-2352 requires that client credentials are bound to the issuing
authorization server: when PRM authorization_servers changes to a new
issuer, clients MUST re-register and MUST NOT reuse the previous AS's
client credentials.
- Traceability yaml: 3 checks, 3 excluded (internal state / UI)
- New auth/authorization-server-migration scenario (draft suite): two
auth servers; PRM flips from AS1 to AS2 after the first authenticated
request; AS2 asserts it received a fresh /register and never saw AS1's
client_id at /authorize or /token
- ConformanceOAuthProvider gains invalidateCredentials and bindIssuer so
the everything-client can key credentials by issuer (passing example)
- everything-client adds an issuer-aware handler for this scenario that
re-reads PRM on each 401 and rebinds before re-authorizing
- auth-test-reuse-credentials negative client + vitest case

* ci(traceability): enable corepack so the SDK build can use pnpm (#289)
The refresh run failed with 'pnpm: not found' — the reference SDK's
build command (typescript-sdk: pnpm install && pnpm run build:all) needs
pnpm on PATH. Add 'corepack enable' to the run job.
* ci(traceability): tolerate SDK conformance failures in the run step (#290)
The `sdk` command exits non-zero when the SDK has conformance failures
not in its baseline. The traceability manifest only needs the emitted
check IDs (written regardless of pass/fail), so a failing SDK must not
fail the refresh. Add `|| true`; the existing 'no results produced'
guard catches a genuinely broken run.

* Make scopesSupported disjoint from challenge scopes so the SEP-2350 union check can't be satisfied by scopes_supported ∪ challenge
A client that unions scopes_supported with the challenge — instead of its
prior grant with the challenge — would have requested mcp:basic mcp:write
and falsely passed sep-2350-scope-union-on-reauth, since scopesSupported
happened to coincide with the previously-granted scope. Setting it to a
disjoint value makes the check actually require the prior token's scope.
Spec backing: clients MUST NOT assume any set relationship between the
challenged scope set and scopes_supported, so a disjoint advertisement is
realistic.
* SEP-837: application_type check in DCR registration (#284)
* Add SEP-837 application_type check to DCR registration
SEP-837 requires MCP clients to specify an appropriate application_type
during Dynamic Client Registration so OIDC authorization servers can
apply the correct redirect-URI constraints.
- Traceability yaml: 1 check (presence + valid value), 4 excluded
(class-specific SHOULDs unobservable; UI/robustness)
- Check added in the shared createAuthServer DCR handler so it fires in
every auth scenario that performs DCR (no new scenario)
- withOAuthRetry now sets application_type: native (passing example;
the conformance example clients are CLI tools)
- New auth-test-no-application-type negative client + vitest case
* Widen ConformanceOAuthProvider metadata type for application_type
Fixes CI typecheck (TS2353 at withOAuthRetry.ts:76): the SDK's
OAuthClientMetadataSchema doesn't include application_type yet.
registerClient() spreads clientMetadata verbatim into the /register
POST body, so a local type intersection is sufficient to get the
field on the wire without an SDK release.
* Set application_type in runAuthMigrationClient
The SEP-2352 authorization-server-migration handler constructs its own
ConformanceOAuthProvider (not via withOAuthRetry), so it was missing
application_type after rebasing onto main. The scenario does DCR twice
(old AS, new AS) and the SEP-837 check fires on each.

* feat: add conformance tests for iss parameter (SEP-2468) (#220)
* feat: add conformance tests for iss parameter (SEP-2468)
Adds 5 draft conformance scenarios testing RFC 9207 issuer parameter
validation in OAuth authorization responses:
- auth/iss-supported: server advertises support and sends correct iss
- auth/iss-not-advertised: server omits iss parameter entirely
- auth/iss-supported-missing: client must reject missing iss when required
- auth/iss-wrong-issuer: client must reject mismatched iss value
- auth/iss-unexpected: client must reject iss when not advertised
Also adds auth-test-iss-validation.ts, a reference client that correctly
validates iss per RFC 9207, and negative tests confirming the standard
client fails all three rejection scenarios.
TODO: Update RFC_9207_ISS_PARAMETER spec reference once SEP-2468
(modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#2468) is merged.
* update scenarios
* fix: createAuthServer iss option type/guard and NotAdvertised scenario duplication
The doc comments said 'Default: not included' but the destructure defaulted
to true/'correct', and the `!== undefined` guard at L155 was unreachable —
so there was no way to omit the metadata field, and IssParameterNotAdvertised
silently advertised support (a duplicate of IssParameterSupported).
Kept the on-by-default behavior (mock AS models a well-behaved server) but
made issParameterSupported `boolean | null` so callers pass null to omit,
matching the codeChallengeMethodsSupported pattern. Doc comments now match.
Scenarios that need omission pass null/'omit' explicitly.
* fix: rejection scenarios silently pass when client never reaches auth endpoint
correctlyRejected = !tokenRequestMade reports SUCCESS if the client errors
out before hitting /authorize. Gate on authReached so a setup failure shows
as FAILURE with authReached:false in details.
* fix: iss-unexpected scenario contradicts SEP-2468 spec table row 3
The spec table says: supported=false/absent + iss present -> *Compare* to
the recorded issuer (not reject). The scenario sent a *correct* iss and
FAILed compliant clients for proceeding after a successful comparison.
Now sends a mismatched iss so the comparison fails and rejection is the
spec-required outcome. Reference client updated to compare-when-present
instead of throw-on-presence.
* refactor: replace harness-config checks with client-proceeded checks
iss-advertised-in-metadata / iss-sent-in-redirect (and the not-* variants)
fired in onAuthorizationRequest before the redirect happened, asserting only
that the harness was configured correctly — a client that ignores iss passes
identically. Replaced with one check per scenario keyed on tokenRequestMade,
which observes that the client actually proceeded through the iss path.
* refactor: rename check IDs to sep-2468-* and align with spec table rows
One ID per spec table row; auth/iss-supported and auth/iss-wrong-issuer
both emit sep-2468-client-compare-iss-supported (same comparison, opposite
input) per the same-slug-for-SUCCESS-and-FAIL convention.
* feat: add sep-2468.yaml requirement traceability
8 check rows (4 client table-row checks, 1 metadata-issuer, 2 AS-side,
1 no-normalization), 1 excluded (error-display is UI-facing). The
record-issuer MUST is merged into the compare-iss-supported row text
since it has no independent wire observation.
* fix: migrate iss scenarios specVersions->source (post-#265)
Replaces `specVersions: ['draft']` with `source: { introducedIn: DRAFT_PROTOCOL_VERSION }`
in the 5 iss-parameter scenarios.
This commit typechecks once the stack is rebased onto main >= #265 (the
ScenarioSource migration). Adding it now so the rebase is mechanical.
* fix: include application_type in iss-validation example DCR (post-#284)
The SEP-837 application_type check now runs in every auth scenario; the
hand-rolled DCR in auth-test-iss-validation.ts was omitting the field.

- Add client-keeps-valid-tool check verifying clients still call valid tools
after filtering out invalid ones
Server header validation (server/http-standard-headers.ts):
- Replace fetch-based sendRawRequest with http.request to preserve exact
header casing on the wire (fetch/Headers lowercases names)
- Compute defaultArgs and defaultHeaders from tool schema so test requests
satisfy all required parameters while varying only the param under test
Traceability (sep-2243.yaml):
- Add 7 new spec-to-check mappings (nonascii, whitespace, controlchar,
keeps-valid-tool, literal-missing-base64-prefix/suffix, no-mirror-unannotated)
- Fix 2 incorrect existing mappings
* Fill SEP-2243 conformance test coverage gaps
Add missing test cases identified by comparing the branch against the
SEP-2243 spec's Conformance Test Cases section:
- Mcp-Method on notifications: add notifications/initialized to
expectedMethods so clients are checked for header on notifications
- Boolean true: add debug=true param to complement verbose=false
- Leading-space-only and trailing-space-only: separate checks for
Base64 encoding when only one edge has whitespace
- Internal spaces only: verify plain ASCII (no Base64) for values
like 'us west 1' that have spaces only in the middle
- CRLF string: add line1\r\nline2 test (complements existing \n test)
- Leading tab: add \tindented test for tab-triggered Base64 encoding
- Server rejects invalid Mcp-Param chars: mark as excluded in YAML
since HTTP itself prevents these characters in headers
Register all new checks in sep-2243.yaml.
* Remove case-insensitive =?base64? prefix test
The spec states header values are case-sensitive (RFC 9110). The
=?base64? prefix is part of the header value, not the header name,
so it should be matched case-sensitively. This was identified as a
bug in the conformance tests per feedback on SEP-2243.
Changes:
- Remove server-accepts-case-insensitive-base64 check from server
validation scenario
- Change base64 prefix regex from case-insensitive (/i) to
case-sensitive in client header validation
- Remove corresponding entry from sep-2243.yaml
* Remove nested x-mcp-header rejection test
The spec constrains x-mcp-header to primitive types but does not
restrict it to top-level properties only. A nested string property
with x-mcp-header is valid per the spec. This was confirmed by
mikekistler in SEP-2243 PR discussion.
Removes invalid_nested_header from the invalid tool definitions
list and its corresponding sep-2243.yaml entry.
* Use numeric comparison for number header values
Compare number header values numerically instead of as strings to
accommodate cross-SDK floating point representation differences
(e.g., '42' vs '42.0'). For integers, exact numeric match is
required. For decimals, a tolerance of 1e-9 is allowed.
See SEP-2243 discussion on number precision.
* client/http-standard-headers: SKIPPED (not FAILURE) for unexercised methods; make getChecks() idempotent
A client that never calls prompts/list isn't violating SEP-2243 — the spec
sentence is 'The client MUST include the standard MCP request headers on each
POST request', and a request that was never sent can't fail it. The Mcp-Method
requirement is already proven by initialize/tools/list etc., so there's nothing
unique to prompts/list. SKIPPED keeps the gap visible without a false red.
Separately: getChecks() was pushing into this.checks on every call. The runner
may call it more than once (e.g. progress + final report); that produced
duplicate rows. Build a fresh array per call instead.
* client/http-standard-headers: de-dup guard in checkMcpNameHeader
checkMcpMethodHeader already has 'if (this.methodHeaderChecks.has(method)) return'.
checkMcpNameHeader was missing the equivalent. The test server advertises two
tools and two resources; a client that calls both produces two
'client-mcp-name-header-tools-call' / '...-resources-read' rows.
* client/http-standard-headers: replace -> /\//g for slug generation
String.replace with a string arg only replaces the first occurrence.
'notifications/initialized' is fine (one slash) but a method like
'notifications/resources/updated' would yield 'notifications-resources/updated'
in the check id. (replaceAll isn't in this project's TS lib target.)
* client/http-custom-headers: base64 regex (.+) -> (.*) so empty string round-trips
The spec doesn't forbid base64-encoding values that don't strictly need it.
A client that always wraps would send '=?base64??=' for empty_val: ''. The
'.+' wouldn't match, so the harness would compare '=?base64??=' === ''
literally and FAIL a compliant client. '(.*)' lets the empty payload decode
to '' and match.
* client/http-custom-headers: emit SUCCESS for no-mirror-unannotated
This check only pushed on FAILURE; a correct client produced no row at all,
so the pass was invisible in reports and couldn't be counted toward coverage.
Same-slug SUCCESS/FAILURE pair is the repo convention.
* client/http-custom-headers: drop redundant optional-present check
checkParamHeader('Verbose', ...) already pushes a FAILURE when the header is
missing. The explicit 'optional-present' block re-tests the same condition
under a second check id, doubling the row.
* server/http-standard-headers: defaultArgs must use real number/boolean, not strings
defaultArgs feeds the JSON-RPC body. With Record<string, string> + '0'/'false',
a server that validates inputSchema rejects on type mismatch — which is also a
400. Every header-rejection check then false-PASSes (server rejected for the
wrong reason), and server-accepts-valid-base64 false-FAILs a compliant server
because it never gets past schema validation.
Also handle 'integer' (JSON Schema distinguishes it from 'number').
* server/http-standard-headers: createAcceptanceCheck must also assert no JSON-RPC error in body
A server can return HTTP 200 with {error: {code: -32001, ...}} in the body.
Status-only acceptance lets that through as a pass.
* use DRAFT_PROTOCOL_VERSION constant instead of 'DRAFT-2026-v1' literal
The literal will rot when the draft cycle rolls over. types.ts already exports
DRAFT_PROTOCOL_VERSION for this.
* sep-2243.yaml: spec-first rewrite + move to src/seps/
Regenerated from the SEP-2243 spec diff (transports.mdx + tools.mdx) rather
than from the scenario implementations: 21 check rows + 4 excluded vs the
previous 46 + 2. Differences:
- one check id per spec sentence (test variants go in 'details', not new ids)
- 'text:' quotes the spec sentence verbatim instead of paraphrasing
- '-reject-status' (MUST 400) split from '-reject-error-code' (SHOULD -32001
for standard headers, MUST for custom)
- rows with no spec backing dropped (whitespace, base64-padding/chars, prefix/
suffix-literal, control-char-name)
- two more SHOULD excludes (log-warning, no-sensitive-params)
- check ids use sep-2243-<slug> convention
- check: key first, excludes grouped at bottom (matches sep-2164)
Moved to src/seps/ to match #272 layout (this branch predates it; will
reconcile cleanly on rebase).
* add negative test for HttpStandardHeadersScenario
Self-contained vitest that POSTs initialize with and without Mcp-Method,
asserts FAILURE/SUCCESS on the pinned check id, and proves getChecks() is
idempotent. No example client/server file needed for this one because the
scenario *is* the server — the test crafts the bad request directly.
This is the negative-test half of AGENTS.md §Testing your scenario; the
everything-client passing-example half is still TODO.
* server/http-standard-headers: severity fixes for whitespace + malformed-base64 tests
These five tests assert behavior the SEP-2243 text doesn't pin down. Kept
because they're useful consistency signals across SDKs, but adjusted so they
don't FAIL spec-compliant servers:
- server-accepts-whitespace-header-value: this IS a MUST, but per RFC 9110
§5.5 (field parsing MUST exclude OWS), not SEP-2243. Kept as FAILURE,
specReference now cites RFC 9110.
- server-rejects-invalid-base64-padding / -chars: downgraded to INFO.
SEP-2243 says only 'MUST decode them accordingly' without picking RFC 4648
strict vs lenient. Node's Buffer.from() accepts unpadded/dirty input and
decodes to a matching value (server accepts); .NET's Convert.FromBase64String
throws (server rejects). Either is currently compliant. WARNING would force
Tier-1 SDKs into non-default strict decoding (#245); INFO records the
behavior without prescribing it, so cross-SDK divergence is visible
without tier impact.
- server-literal-missing-base64-prefix / -suffix: unchanged. The wrapper
syntax is '=?base64?{x}?=' complete; treating partial wrappers as literal
is the natural reading.
Plumbing: createRejectionCheck gains an optional failSeverity param;
testBase64Case gains a 'reject-info' mode. (This is also the hook for the
larger 400-MUST / -32001-SHOULD split that still needs doing.)
* server/http-standard-headers: split rejection check into status (MUST) + error-code (SHOULD/MUST)
SEP-2243 §Server Validation: 'servers MUST return HTTP status 400 ... and
SHOULD include a JSON-RPC error response using ... -32001'. So a server that
returns 400 with -32600 (or no error body) is compliant for standard headers.
The single conflated check FAILed it.
For custom headers (§Server Behavior for Custom Headers) -32001 IS a MUST,
so both halves stay FAILURE there.
createRejectionCheck → createRejectionChecks returning two rows: '<id>' for
the 400 status and '<id>-error-code' for -32001. testCase (standard) sets
errorCodeSeverity=WARNING; testBase64Case/testMissingCustomHeader (custom)
keep FAILURE; the two malformed-base64 INFO probes set both halves to INFO.
* rename check ids to sep-2243-* prefix; kebab-case throughout
Aligns with the sep-2243.yaml traceability ids and the repo convention
(sep-2164-*, sep-2207-*). Variant suffixes are kept (per-method, per-tool)
so per-case visibility isn't lost; the YAML's row id is a prefix of the
emitted ids, which is fine — extra ids not in the YAML are allowed.
Also fixes the mixed hyphen/underscore in reject-invalid-tool ids
(toolName has underscores; replace to hyphens).
* client: extract BaseHttpScenario to client/http-base.ts; both client scenarios extend it
http-standard-headers.ts had its own copy of the start/stop/handleRequest
boilerplate (~100 lines) that http-custom-headers.ts already abstracted as
BaseHttpScenario. Moved the abstract class to a shared file; both scenario
files now import it. HttpStandardHeadersScenario implements handlePost()
instead of handleRequest(); its handleInitialize() uses the base
sendInitialize() with the resources/prompts capability flags it needs.
Net: 465 → 361 lines for http-standard-headers.ts; the third inline copy of
the same HTTP-server scaffold is gone.
* use req.setEncoding('utf8') instead of per-chunk Buffer.toString()
Per-chunk .toString() corrupts a multi-byte UTF-8 char that straddles a TCP
chunk boundary (e.g. 0xC3 | 0xBC decodes to two replacement chars instead of
'ü'). The custom-headers scenario sends '日本語'/'naïve' in the body, so this
is reachable in principle. setEncoding('utf8') makes 'data' emit strings with
boundary handling done by Node's StringDecoder.
Fixed in both places: BaseHttpScenario.handleRequest (request body) and
sendRawRequest (response body).
* fix: migrate SEP-2243 scenarios from specVersions to source (introducedIn/removedIn)
The introducedIn/removedIn refactor (#265) replaced the specVersions array
with a source property on all scenario interfaces. The SEP-2243 scenarios
still used the old specVersions field, causing matchesSpecVersion() to
receive undefined and crash in spec-version.test.ts.
Replace specVersions with source = { introducedIn: DRAFT_PROTOCOL_VERSION }
in BaseHttpScenario and the two server ClientScenario classes. Remove the
now-unused SpecVersion imports.
* server/http-standard-headers: malformed-base64 padding/chars back to FAILURE
Per discussion on #259: the SEP-2243 conformance-test-case table is the
approved source of truth and lists these as reject cases, so they're
FAILURE-level even though the spec body itself only says 'MUST decode them
accordingly'. SDKs whose stdlib base64 is lenient (Node, browsers) will need
to validate before decoding; if that's burdensome we'll revisit.
Removes the now-unused 'reject-info' mode and statusSeverity/INFO plumbing
introduced for these two probes.

* refactor: replace specVersions list with introducedIn/removedIn range tagging
Replaces per-scenario `specVersions: SpecVersion[]` arrays with `introducedIn`
and optional `removedIn` range fields on all three scenario interfaces. Extension
scenarios get an orthogonal `extension?: boolean` flag instead of the former
`'extension'` tag in the versions list.
matchesSpecVersion() is rewritten as a range comparison
(introducedIn <= target && (!removedIn || target < removedIn)), with draft
sorting after all dated versions. getScenarioSpecVersions() reconstructs the
effective version list from the range for backward-compat with tier-check.
Closes#256.
* refactor: nest spec-version range under `source: ScenarioSource` union
The flat `introducedIn`/`removedIn`/`extension?` shape forced extension
scenarios to set a placeholder `introducedIn` that was never read. Nesting
the version-range fields inside a `source` property typed as a union lets
the compiler enforce introducedIn XOR extensionId — no runtime invariant
test needed.
type ScenarioSource =
| { introducedIn: SpecVersion; removedIn?: SpecVersion }
| { extensionId: ExtensionId };
A class can't `implements` a union type directly, so the union lives inside
a property and `Scenario` stays a plain interface — `class implements
Scenario` keeps working everywhere. `EXTENSION_IDS` is a const array
mirroring the `DATED_SPEC_VERSIONS` pattern.
Also renames the cross-app-access scenario to enterprise-managed-auth to
match the extension's canonical name: file, class, slug, context schema
literal, and the everything-client runner.
* refactor: use canonical SEP-2133 extension identifiers
EXTENSION_IDS now holds the wire identifiers from the spec's extension docs
(client-matrix.mdx, docs/extensions/auth/*.mdx) so extensionId values can be
cross-referenced against capabilities.extensions keys directly:
io.modelcontextprotocol/oauth-client-credentials
io.modelcontextprotocol/enterprise-managed-authorization
The previous commit used a shortened 'enterprise-managed-auth' which doesn't
match the canonical '-authorization'. Re-renames the scenario file/class/slug
and downstream references to align.

* feat: add new-sep scaffolding command
Related #243.
This commit adds the new-sep <NNNN> subcommand, which writes the file src/scenarios/<target>/sep-<NNNN>.yaml. This file contains the "sep", "spec_url", and "requirements" rows in the same style as sep-2164.yaml, with single quotes and two spaces. The spec source resolves in order: --spec-url → --spec-path → GitHub API against modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol (explicit --pr or title search for "SEP-NNNN").
The target directory is inferred from the spec path (`server/`, `client/`, or `basic/authorization*`); the --target flag overrides this. It refuses to overwrite without the --force flag.
Token resolution reuses the "gh auth token" fallback pattern from tier-check.
It also ships the .claude/skills/new-sep directory, which drives the CLI. It fetches the spec diff via "gh api" and extracts RFC 2119 sentences. There is a warning against regex-only matching. Bullets inherit keywords from their lead-in sentence. It rewrites the placeholder rows per the severity rules in AGENTS.md. MUST/SHALL/REQUIRED are checked for FAILURE. SHOULD is checked for WARNING. MAY/OPTIONAL are excluded.

* feat: support "draft" as a first-class spec version target
- Add LATEST_SPEC_VERSION and DATED_SPEC_VERSIONS constants so the next
spec release is a one-line change in types.ts.
- Accept "draft" as a valid protocolVersion in the initialize check and
mock-server response.
- --spec-version draft now selects latest-dated scenarios plus draft-tagged
ones, so SEP authors can run the full suite against an SDK tracking the
in-progress spec without retagging core scenarios.
- Forward --spec-version to the client process via
MCP_CONFORMANCE_SPEC_VERSION so SDK examples can pick the matching
protocolVersion.
Closes#253
* review: collapse SpecVersion to wire strings; dedup NEGOTIABLE_PROTOCOL_VERSIONS; split out 'extension'
Addresses review feedback from @felixweinberger and @mikekistler:
- SpecVersion is now always a wire protocolVersion string
(DatedSpecVersion | typeof DRAFT_PROTOCOL_VERSION). The separate
'draft' tag literal is gone from the type system; 'draft' survives
only as a CLI input alias in resolveSpecVersion. Removes the
tag-vs-wire confusion and the specVersionToProtocolVersion mapping.
- NEGOTIABLE_PROTOCOL_VERSIONS in types.ts is the single source for
what the mock server accepts on initialize (was duplicated in
checks/client.ts and scenarios/client/initialize.ts).
- 'extension' moved out of SpecVersion into a separate ScenarioSpecTag
type. --spec-version extension is no longer valid; extension scenarios
remain reachable via --suite extensions.
- Draft-tagged scenarios now use the DRAFT_PROTOCOL_VERSION constant
so a draft revision bump is a one-line change in types.ts.
Conformance is a leaf CLI; scheduled version bumps are churn. Deleting
the config disables version-update PRs entirely. Security advisories
remain enabled via repo settings (Code security > Dependabot).
Adds src/scenarios/server/negative.test.ts with spawn helpers. Wires
two cases: the previously-orphaned no-dns-rebinding-protection.ts and
a new sep-2164-empty-contents.ts. Strengthens the AGENTS.md guidance
to point at the harness.
* feat: add conformance scenario for SEP-2164 resource-not-found error code
Adds a draft-scoped scenario verifying servers return -32602 (Invalid
Params) for non-existent resources instead of the legacy -32002 or an
empty contents array. Includes a sep-2164.yaml traceability file mapping
each MUST/MUST NOT/SHOULD to its check per the proposed SEP-2484 process.
* fix: align SEP-2164 check severities with spec text (#246)
Splits sep-2164-error-code into:
- sep-2164-no-empty-contents (MUST NOT -> FAILURE)
- sep-2164-error-code (SHOULD -> WARNING)
Updates sep-2164.yaml to quote the spec text verbatim and adds an
excluded row for the client-side -32002 backcompat SHOULD.
See #245 for the SHOULD/WARNING tier-scoring policy discussion.
