## Summary
- add the optional `description` field to `mcp.Implementation`
- keep the field omitted when empty
- cover JSON marshal/unmarshal behavior with a focused regression test
Fixes#977.

## Description
This PR lays the foundational server-side groundwork for the `>=
2026-06-30` sessionless and stateless feature introduced by
[SEP-2575](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/pull/2575)
and SEP-2567, tracked in
[design/stateless.md](614460a225/design/stateless.md).
### SEP-2575: Stateless MCP
* **Per-request protocol detection in `ServerSession.handle()`**
Unmarshal `_meta` from the raw JSON-RPC params determines whether each
request follows the new protocol.
* **Per-request typed accessors on `ServerRequest[P]`**
```go
func (r *ServerRequest[P]) ProtocolVersion() string
func (r *ServerRequest[P]) ClientInfo() *Implementation
func (r *ServerRequest[P]) ClientCapabilities() *ClientCapabilities
```
* **Reject client->server `initialize`, `initialized` and `ping` for
new-protocol requests**
* **Per-request `_meta` field name constants**
Three constants for the wire-protocol field names
(`MetaKeyProtocolVersion`, `MetaKeyClientInfo`,
`MetaKeyClientCapabilities`)
* **Stop synthesizing fake `InitializeParams` for new-protocol
requests**
Fixes: #966
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.
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.
* 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
The NewTool and NewPrompt constructors were unidiomatic, because they
returned a ServerTool and ServerPrompt, respectively, rather than a Tool
and Prompt. Rename to be consistent with the constructed object name.

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.

Meta is a struct that contains a map[string]any, and a ProgressToken
field.
Each Params and Result type has a Meta as a value field.
Meta marshals and unmarshals specially, so the ProgressToken field
becomes part of the map. The marshalling code is generalized in
anticipation of every Params and Result growing a map of additional
properties.
