### What was broken
Four links in `docs/client.md` point at a section that does not exist.
Three of them sit right where a reader needs them — at the end of the
**Roots**, **Sampling**
and **Elicitation** sections, on the sentence explaining that from
protocol version
`2026-07-28` these requests are delivered via the Multi Round-Trip
Requests pattern:
```
[Multi Round-Trip Requests](protocol.md#multi-round-trip-requests-mrtr)
```
`protocol.md` has no MRTR section. Following the link drops you at the
top of a page that
never mentions the pattern — while the explanation you were promised is
one screen further
down the *same* page you were already on (`client.md` → *Multi
Round-Trip Requests*).
The fourth one is in that MRTR section itself, sending you to the server
side:
```
[server-side documentation](server.md#multi-round-trip-requests-mrtr).
```
`server.md` does have the section, but its heading is `## Multi
Round-Trip Requests`, so the
slug is `#multi-round-trip-requests` — the trailing `-mrtr` is stale.
### How I checked
Against the published site, not just the source:
```
$ curl -sL https://go.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/protocol | grep -o 'id="[^"]*round[^"]*"'
# (no output)
$ curl -sL https://go.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/client | grep -o 'id="[^"]*round[^"]*"'
id="multi-round-trip-requests"
$ curl -sL https://go.sdk.modelcontextprotocol.io/server | grep -o 'id="[^"]*round[^"]*"'
id="multi-round-trip-requests"
```
So `/protocol` carries no anchor containing `round` at all, and both
live targets use the
plain slug.
`git log -S` says the links arrived with b9e6fc5 ("mcp: add
documentation for new protocol
version", #1019, 2026-06-23) and that `protocol.src.md` has never
contained a
`Multi Round-Trip Requests` heading — the section landed in
`client.src.md` and
`server.src.md` instead, and these four references were never repointed.
I also ran a small link/anchor checker over `docs/`: 4 bad anchors
before, 0 after. (Two
"broken links" it also reports in `server.md` are its own false
positives — Go generics
inside a fence, `jsonschema.For[WeatherInput](opts)`, read as markdown
link syntax. Not
touched.)
### What it is now
The three per-feature links become same-page references, matching how
`client.md` already
links its own sections (`(see [Capabilities](#capabilities))`):
```
[Multi Round-Trip Requests](#multi-round-trip-requests)
```
and the cross-page one drops the stale suffix:
```
[server-side documentation](server.md#multi-round-trip-requests).
```
Change is in `internal/docs/client.src.md`; `docs/client.md` regenerated
with
`go generate ./...`, both committed together. Locally `go generate
./...` leaves the tree
clean afterwards, which is what `docs-check` asserts. Docs-only, four
link targets, no prose
and no code paths touched.
