* Decouple Handlers and Collections (e.g. ToolsHandler and ToolsCollection) from Capabilities by promoting them to the options types.
Also, group all handlers in container classes, for server, I decided to move McpServerHandlers down to Mcp.Core and move the NotificationHandlers there too.
Also, Fix ListResourceTemplatesHandler issue.
* Add remarks for empty protocol capability types
* Keep JsonIgnore properties and mark them as Obsolete
* Continue supporting Obsolete members
* Update Obsolete messages to indicate the member will be removed
* Add EditorBrowsable Never to the remaining obsolete members
* Remove McpServerConfig and have McpClientFactory accept IClientTransport instances directly.
* Address feedback and use lists when representing stdio arguments.
* Use "Name" for transport descriptors and "EndpointName" for MCP clients and servers.
* Update code samples.
* Fix source file naming
* Overhaul tool handling
- Renames [McpTool{Type}] to [McpServerTool{Type}], in order to distinguish representations of tools on the server from tools on the client.
- Enables [McpServerTool] methods to have arguments injected from DI, as well as a specific set of types from the implementation directly, like IMcpServer.
- Renames WithTools to WithToolsFromAssembly.
- All of the WithToolsXx methods now publish each individual McpServerTool into DI; other code can do so as well. The options setup code gathers all of the tools from DI and combines them into a collection which is then stored in McpServerOptions and used to construct the server.
- The server tools specified via DI as well as manually-provided handlers, using CallToolHandler as a fallback in case the requested tool doesn't exist in the tools collection, and ListToolsHandler augments the information for whatever tools exist.
- The tools are stored in McpServerOptions in a new McpServerToolCollection type, which is a thread-safe container that exposes add/removal notification. Adding/removing tools triggers a change notification that in turn sends a notification to the client about a tools update.
- The ServerOptions are exposed from the server instance.
- Removed cursor-based APIs from McpClientExtensions.
- Changed McpClientExtensions APIs to return `Task<IList<...>` rather than `IAsyncEnumerable<...>`.
I'm sure this will need to evolve further before we're "done", but it's a significant improvement from where we are now. One area I'm not super happy with is the notifying collection; that might work ok for a stdio server, where you can grab the created collection from the server's options and mutate it, but I don't know how well that's going to work for sse servers.
* Make McpServerTool{Collection} extensible
* Fix README.md example
* Add notifications test
* Address feedback
* Make client config optional to McpClientFactory.CreateAsync
Unless you're specifying capabilities (sampling/rooting) or need a specific client name/version, the client information can be inferred from the assembly, simplifying the getting-started experience.
* Cache default options
* Update src/ModelContextProtocol/Client/McpClientFactory.cs
