Our validation logic was avoiding double-unmarshalling as much as
possible, by parsing before validation and validating the Go type.
This only works if the Go type has the same structure as its JSON
representation, which may not be the case in the presence of types with
custom MarshalJSON or UnmarshalJSON methods (such as time.Time).
But even if the Go type doesn't use any custom marshalling, validation
is broken, because we can't differentiate zero values from missing
values.
Bite the bullet and use double-unmarshalling for both input and output
schemas. Coincidentally, this fixes three bugs:
- We were accepting case-insensitive JSON keys, since we parsed first,
even though they should have been rejected. A number of tests were
wrong.
- Defaults were overriding present-yet-zero values, as noted in an
incorrect test case.
- When "arguments" was missing, validation wasn't performed, no defaults
were applied, and unmarshalling failed even if all properties were
optional.
First unmarshalling to map[string]any allows us to fix all these bugs.
Unfortunately, it means a 3x increase in the number of reflection
operations (we need to unmarshal, apply defaults and validate,
re-marshal with the defaults, and then unmarshal into the Go type).
However, this is not likely to be a significant overhead, and we can
always optimize in the future.
Update github.com/google/jsonschema-go to pick up necessary improvements
supporting this change.
Additionally, fix the error codes for invalid tool parameters, to be
consistent with other SDKs (Invalid Params: -32602).
Fixes#447Fixes#449
Updates #450
Replace all occurrences of ServerRequest[*CallToolParams] and other
concrete instantiations with CallToolRequest and the like.
Make the XXXRequest types aliases, to preserve the convenience of
generics for the internal machinery (see shared.go, for example.)
I will expand the aliases in a followup PR.
Change the design of tool handlers by removing genericity from the common path.
- `ToolHandler` gets the args as a `json.RawMessage`. Using Server.AddTool does no unmarshaling or schema validation.
- `ToolHandlerFor`, installed with `AddTool`, are the only generic pieces.
TODO:
uncomment and fix some tests
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.
As described in #272, there is really no reason for transports to be
closed structs with constructors, since their state must be established
by a call to Connect. Making them open structs simplifies their APIs,
and means that all transports can be extended in the future: we don't
have to create empty Options structs just for the purpose of future
compatibility.
For now, the related constructors and options structs are simply
deprecated (with go:fix directives where possible). A future CL will
remove them prior to the v1.0.0 release.
For #272
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
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.
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
Allow customizing the http.Client used for HTTP MCP client transports,
by adding client options structs.

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.

Make Tool APIs future-proof by pushing generics into CallToolParams, and
using CallToolParams throughout. This has several advantages:
- We no longer need the awkward CallToolOptions type, which is almost
but not quite like CallToolParams.
- NewTool no longer needs to define its own handler type: it accepts a
ToolHandler[TArgs]. This also means its signature is future-proof.
Additionally, provide a `CallTool` helper (the analog of NewTool) to
serve as a more strongly typed variant of `ClientSession.CallTool`.
