* 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
- We still allow notification handlers to be configured pre-creation, eliminating any race conditions that may result from missed notifications. But now we also allow for post-creation notification handler registration.
- Handlers may now also be removed. This permits temporary registrations that may be created in a scoped manner.
- Registration handling is thread-safe.
- Handlers are now cancelable.
- Exceptions from notification handlers trigger all normal exception handling in the dispatch pipeline.
This also:
- Adds a WithStreamServerTransport as a counterpart to WithStdioServerTransport. The latter was used in several tests in a hacky way, and that's now simplified via the former's existence.
* Allow user-defined JsonSerializerOptions for user-defined and inputs and hardcode everything else to the source generator.
* Add validation for user-defined JsonSerializerOptions.
* Remove out of date comment.
* Address feedback and add tests
- We were adding tools/prompts from the collections on every request. If multiple requests came in with different cursors, we'd re-add the same tools each time.
- We were defeating the purpose of pagination by doing all of the aggregation in the server. If a custom handler returns a paginated result, we should instead propagate that back to the client, who can choose to get more results when needed.
- This also paves the way for better multi-session support
- We should definitely rethink names for the transport API
- For now, I kept the names similar as possible, so we can
focus on the API shape

* List tools from DI once
- Follow best practice to not mutate options outside of IConfigureOptions
- Long-term, we should move the repeated work from SetToolsHandler into
an IPostConfigureOptions service or IMcpServerConnectionFactory
* Add Can_Create_Multiple_Servers_From_Options_And_List_Registered_Tools
* Flip stdin and stdout in StreamClientTransport
* s/McpToolType/McpServerToolType
* Clarify stdin and stdout refers to server process in StreamClientTransport
* fixup
* 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
