- Fix tool error handling to properly distinguish between protocol
errors and tool execution errors
- Return structured JSON-RPC errors directly for protocol-level issues
- Embed regular tool errors in CallToolResult as per MCP specification
- Improve server error responses for unknown prompts and tools
- Add comprehensive tests for both structured and regular error handling
Implement the concurrency model described in #26: notifications are
synchronous, but calls are asynchronous (except for 'initialize'). To
achieve this, implement jsonrpc2.Async(ctx) to signal asynchronous
handling. This is simpler to use than returning ErrAsyncResponse and
calling Respond, and since this is an internal detail we don't need to
worry too much about whether it's idiomatic.
Add tests that verify both features, for both client and server.
Also:
- replace req.ID.IsValid with req.IsCall
- remove the methodHandler type as we can just use MethodHandler
Fixes#26
Export ServerCapabilities and related subtypes and update protocol,
server, and tests to use exported types. Add InitializeResult method on
ClientSession for accessing the initialize result from sessions.

In #202, I added the checkRequest helper to validate incoming requests,
and invoked it in the stremable transports to preemptively reject
invalid HTTP requests, so that a jsonrpc error could be translated to an
HTTP error.
However, this introduced a bug: since cancellation was handled in the
jsonrpc2 layer, we never had to validate it in the mcp layer, and
therefore never added methodInfo. As a result, it was reported as an
invalid request in the http layer.
Add a test, and a fix. The simplest fix was to create stubs that are
placeholders for cancellation.
This was discovered in the course of investigating #285.
Handlers and client/server methods take a single request argument
combining the session and params. This slightly simplifies the signature
for handlers, since there is no longer an often-ignored session
argument.
But more importantly, it opens the door to adding more information in
requests, such as auth info and HTTP request headers.
For #243.
Support stateless streamable sessions by adding a GetSessionID function
to StreamableHTTPOptions. If GetSessionID returns "", the session is
stateless, and no validation is performed. This is implemented by
providing the session a trivial initialization state.
To implement this, some parts of #232 (distributed sessions) are copied
over, since they add an API for creating an already-initialized session.
In total, the following new API is added:
- StreamableHTTPOptions.GetSessionID
- ServerSessionOptions (a new parameter to Server.Connect)
- ServerSessionState
- ClientSessionOptions (a new parameter to Client.Connect, for symmetry)
For #10
Update ServerSession so that the session is not marked as initialized
until 'notifications/initialized' is actually received from the client.
Include a new test of this lifecycle strictness.
Fixes#225
Make the simplifications described in #222. I don't know why we
originally had such fine granularity of locking: perhaps we were going
to execute 'oninitialized' callbacks.
Also update the TODO with a bit more information about jsonrpc2
behavior.
Fixes#222
## Background
Since the Server has a map of ServersSessions->subscriptions, and takes
care of routing ResourceUpdate messages to ServerSessions, I think the
decision was made to leave *ServerSession out of the
SubscribeHandler/UnsubscribeHandler signatures. However, resource
subscriptions are not specific to the a particular client and this
information is kept private in the Session today.
## Proposal
Align the Subscribe/Unsubscribe handlers with the other two handlers
that are client specific (ProgressNotificationHandler, and
RootListChangeHanlder), and include *ServerSession in the signature.
It comes in practice because because a gateway server that needs to
forward subscriptions still needs this information. The routing logic in
Server is convenient and means that most servers won't need to know
which ServerSessions are subscribed. But I think there are still use
cases where the user will need to know.
Audit all cases where params must not be null, and enforce this using
methodInfo via a new methodFlags bitfield that parameterizes method
requirements. Write extensive conformance tests catching all the
(server-side) crashes that were possible.
We should go further and validate schema against the spec, but that is
more indirect, more complicated, and potentially slower. For now we
adopt this more explicit approach.
Still TODO in a subsequent CL: verify the client side of this with
client conformance tests.
Additionally, improve some error messages that were redundant or leaked
internal implementation details.
Fixes#195
Add an isRequest field to methodInfo, used it to reject non-notification
requests that lack a valid ID. Furthermore, lift this validation to the
transport layer for HTTP server transports, so that we can preemptively
reject bad HTTP requests.
Fixes#194Fixes#197
This CL adds an option for servers to advertise support for features
that have not been added yet. This includes Prompts, Tools, and
Resources as these could be dynamically added after initialization.
Fixes: #135.
If tools are added to a Server when Run is called, it will send
toolCapabilities to the client. Otherwise it won't. Ditto for prompts
and resources.
For #56.
Negotiate the protocol version properly, and set the header on HTTP
transports.
We follow the logic of the Typescript SDK.
- On initialization, the client sends the latest version it can support,
and accepts the version that the server returns if the client supports
it. If not, the connection fails.
- The server accepts the client's version unless it doesn't support it,
in which case it replies with its latest version.
Fixes#103.
Make `Server.Run` return when the provided context is canceled.
Add tests for when the `Run` context is cancelled and also for when the
server process receives a signal.
Fixes#107.
BREAKING CHANGE
Change the API for adding tools, prompts, resources and resource
templates to a server.
The ServerXXX types are gone along with the plural Add methods
(AddTools, AddPrompts etc.)
Instead there are single Add methods (AddTool, AddPrompt).
In addition, instead of NewServerTool, there is AddTool[In, Out].
Fixes#73.
This CL implements a completion handler for the server and a complete
method for the client.

After some experience with the flattened version of Content, we see that
it can easily lead to incorrect usage and is a harder API to read.
Therefore, this CL changes back to a design similar to what we had prior
to https://go.dev/cl/672415, though opting to promote content
unmarshalling to the protocol types that use it, which leads to an
overall simpler api.
* mcp: move to 2025-06-18 schema
Add types and fields for the latest MCP schema.
The main challenge here was dealing with the presence of _meta fields
on many types, like Tool, Prompt and Resource.
- Distinguish between the _meta field of a request's params, which
includes a progress token, from the _meta field on other types,
which is simply a map.
- Redefine GetMeta to return a pointer to the map. We wanted to avoid
that, but I don't see a clean way to do so. An alternative would be
to have GetMeta return a map, and SetMeta to set it.
- Provide GetProgressToken for requests only (not notifications or other
types).
- Still to do: deal with the meta and annotation fields of ContentBlock,
which are currently duplicated for Resource and ResourceContents.
* Meta and progress token redesign
Use JSONRPCMessage, JSONRPCRequest, and JSONRPCResponse aliases
throughout the internal/mcp package, so that no jsonrpc2 names are
exposed in the public API.

Add an (almost) complete implementation of the streamable HTTP
transport, including:
- A StreamableHTTPHandler for serving sessions.
- A StreamableHTTPServerTransport that supports session resumption.
- A minimal StreamableHTTPClientTransport.
Additionally, include the following minor changes:
- Refactor SSE event reading to use an iterator.
- Start to to aliases for JSON-RPC types (incomplete)
- Fix handling for null tool arguments (again)
Still to do:
- The streamable client does not support retry/resumption, or the
side-channel GET requests.
- Support configurable session and event retention (garbage collection).
- Expose the HTTP client used for HTTP requests (for auth).

CallToolParams.Arguments is any.
Clients can send whatever they want.
Tool authors who create their own ToolHandler (bypassing NewTool)
will receive the arguments as a map[string]any which has been
validated against the input schema.
Tool authors who call NewTool can choose the type that the arguments
unmarshal into.
There is no double-unmarshaling and no downcasting.
There is no way for tool authors to avoid the unmarshal, and no way to
avoid the validation unless the omit an input schema, which is probably
bad for LLMs. If tool authors want this optimization, we can provide
it later.

Provide support for resource templates on the client and server.
Adding, removing and listing resource templates looks just like those
operations on resources.
Although the spec provides no guidance on the unique ID for resource
templates, we follow most existing SDKs, as well as the parallel with
resources, and index on the URI template rather than the name.
As the spec recommends, the server verifies an incoming URI in a
ReadResource request against its list of resources and resource
templates, to make sure the URI came from one of them. The main
technical challenge here is the need to check that a URI template could
have produced a particular URI.
I wrote a very simplified version of this check. At some point
we should switch to github.com/yosida95/uritemplate/v3.
