* Extensions: Connection Info both eras + io.modelcontextprotocol/ui advertisement (Phase 3 of #1633) Completes the Extensions surfacing and advertises the MCP Apps UI extension. core/mcp/extensions.ts: - Add UI_EXTENSION_KEY ("io.modelcontextprotocol/ui") and MCP_APP_MIME_TYPE ("text/html;profile=mcp-app") — mirrors of ext-apps' EXTENSION_ID / RESOURCE_MIME_TYPE (hardcoded: the constants live on the package's /server subpath or an extensionless re-export that doesn't resolve under NodeNext). - Registry entries gain an optional `advertisement` value; the builder stamps it (default {}). Add the `ui` entry, default-advertised with `{ mimeTypes: ["text/html;profile=mcp-app"] }` — the Inspector always renders App tools. No ext-apps cast needed: the extensions value type is `object`. ConnectionInfoContent: - Source server extensions from the negotiated `capabilities.extensions` (getServerCapabilities, era-transparent) instead of the modern-only discoverResult, so a LEGACY server advertising extensions renders them too. - Add a two-column "Server Extensions" / "Advertised Extensions" section (the Inspector's own advertised map), mirroring the server/client capability columns. Drop the now-redundant Extensions row from the modern Discovery section (Supported versions stays). Tests: extensions.test.ts covers the ui entry + advertisement value and the per-extension enable/disable; ConnectionInfoContent.test.tsx covers legacy server extensions (no discovery), the advertised-extensions column, and the em-dash empty states. npm run ci green (the one InspectorView localStorage failure is a known flake, passes on re-run).

# Connection Info extensions + `io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` (#1740) — proof screenshots
|
|
|
|
End-to-end verification of the Phase 3 Connection Info UI against the legacy
|
|
`advertised-extensions-http.json` test server (port 3220), driven in a real
|
|
browser through the web client's remote-proxy transport.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The Connection Info modal on a **legacy** connection (Era: **LEGACY**, no
|
|
Discovery section). The new **Server Extensions / Advertised Extensions**
|
|
two-column section renders — proving it is era-transparent (before #1740,
|
|
extensions only appeared in the modern-only Discovery section). **Advertised
|
|
Extensions** shows `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks, io.modelcontextprotocol/ui`,
|
|
confirming the Inspector now advertises the MCP Apps `ui` extension. (Server
|
|
Extensions is `—` because this test server advertises none server-side.)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
After unchecking **Tasks** in Server Settings → Advertised Extensions (Phase 2)
|
|
and reconnecting, the **Advertised Extensions** column shows only
|
|
`io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` — the display reflects the per-server override live,
|
|
and the `ui` advertisement persists (it is a separate registry entry).
|
|
|
|
> Note: the Connection Info modal is populated from the connection's
|
|
> `initializeResult`, which requires `serverInfo`. On the modern test server used
|
|
> here `serverInfo` wasn't populated, so the modal stays closed on that modern
|
|
> connection — a pre-existing connection-layer behavior, independent of this PR
|
|
> (which only changes content *inside* the modal). The era-transparent
|
|
> **Server Extensions** path is covered by unit tests
|
|
> (`ConnectionInfoContent.test.tsx` renders legacy server extensions with no
|
|
> `discoverResult`).

# Advertised-extensions toggle (#1739) — proof screenshots
|
|
|
|
End-to-end verification of the advertised-extensions debugging knob against a
|
|
real legacy HTTP test server (`test-servers/configs/advertised-extensions-http.json`
|
|
on port 3220), driven in a real browser through the web client's remote-proxy
|
|
transport. The server registers `echo` (always) and `get_weather` **gated on the
|
|
`io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension** (`extensionGatedTools`): the tool is
|
|
enabled on `notifications/initialized` only when the connected client declared
|
|
that extension.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Server Settings → Advertised Extensions** (the new section). With no override,
|
|
**Tasks (io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks)** is checked — the registry default —
|
|
so the Inspector advertises it in its client capabilities.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Connected with Tasks advertised. The server sees the declared extension on
|
|
`initialized` and enables the gated tool, so `tools/list` returns **both `echo`
|
|
and `get_weather`**.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Unchecking **Tasks** writes the per-server `advertisedExtensions` override. The
|
|
change takes effect on the next connect (as the section note says).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
After reconnecting, the client advertises no extensions, so the server never
|
|
enables the gated tool — `tools/list` now returns **only `echo`**. The server's
|
|
tool registration demonstrably changed based on what the client advertised,
|
|
exactly the acceptance criterion for #1739.

# x-mcp-header Tools tooling (#1632) — proof screenshots
|
|
|
|
End-to-end verification of the SEP-2243 `x-mcp-header` Tools tooling against a
|
|
real modern (2026-07-28) HTTP test server
|
|
(`test-servers/configs/xmcpheader-modern-http.json` on port 3120), driven in a
|
|
real browser through the web client's remote-proxy transport.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Connected with **Protocol Era = Modern**. `invalid_header_tool` is dropped from
|
|
`tools/list` by the SDK (its `x-mcp-header` annotation is invalid), so the
|
|
Inspector re-lists the raw list and surfaces it struck-through under an
|
|
**"Excluded (SEP-2243)"** divider — showing _why_ a tool vanished rather than
|
|
silently omitting it.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Hovering the excluded tool shows the exact scan reason: the header name
|
|
`"Bad Header"` contains a space, so it is not a valid RFC 9110 token.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
`get_weather`'s detail panel shows the **"Mirrored request headers (SEP-2243)"**
|
|
section: its `city` argument mirrors to `Mcp-Param-City`, with the note that the
|
|
SDK omits `Mcp-Param-*` on the browser transport.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Calling a tool the server no longer recognizes rejects with **`-32602`** (SDK v2)
|
|
instead of an `isError` result, and renders as an **"Unknown Tool"** error panel
|
|
with a targeted hint (reproduced by swapping the sessionless server to one
|
|
without `echo` while the cached list still showed it).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
`-32602` is the generic _Invalid params_ code, so a **known** tool rejected for
|
|
bad arguments throws the same code as an unknown tool. The panel disambiguates
|
|
from the message: a `-32602` that does not name an unknown tool renders under
|
|
**"Invalid Parameters"** (with a schema hint) rather than "Unknown Tool".
|
|
Triggered live via the `trigger_invalid_params` tool, which returns a real
|
|
`-32602` JSON-RPC error whose message is not about a missing tool.

# Tasks extension era fork (#1631) — proof screenshots
|
|
|
|
End-to-end verification of the Tasks era fork against two real test servers
|
|
(`test-servers/configs/tasks-modern-http.json` on port 3222 and
|
|
`tasks-legacy-http.json` on 3223), driven in a real browser through the web
|
|
client's remote-proxy transport.
|
|
|
|
## Modern era (2026-07-28, `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Connected with **Protocol Era = Modern** (`MCP 2026-07-28`). The **Tasks** tab
|
|
appears in the monitoring sidebar because the `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks`
|
|
extension was negotiated (it is empty until a task runs).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Connected with **Protocol Era = Modern** (`MCP 2026-07-28`). The **Tasks** tab is
|
|
gated on the negotiated `io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks` extension (not
|
|
`capabilities.tasks`). Running `modern_task` with **Run as task** on issues a
|
|
`tools/call` that returns a `CreateTaskResult` (`resultType: "task"`), then polls
|
|
**`tasks/get`** (no `tasks/list`); the completed task **inlines its result** (no
|
|
blocking `tasks/result`) — shown both in the Results panel and the Tasks card.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
`modern_input_task` moves to **`input_required`**: the `tasks/get` response's
|
|
`inputRequests` map (visible in the task's Full Task Object) carries an embedded
|
|
`elicitation/create`, surfaced through the same pending-request modal the MRTR
|
|
path uses — note the accurate wording _"your answer is submitted via a
|
|
tasks/update request (SEP-2663), not a retry"_. Answering it sends
|
|
**`tasks/update`** with the `inputResponses`, and the next poll completes the
|
|
task:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Legacy era (2025-11-25, contrast — unchanged)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Connected with **Protocol Era = Legacy**. The Tasks tab is gated on
|
|
`capabilities.tasks`; `simple_task` is `taskSupport: "required"` so **Run as
|
|
task** is forced on. The legacy flow uses `tasks/list` to populate the list,
|
|
`tasks/get` to poll, and the blocking **`tasks/result`** to fetch the payload
|
|
(`{ "message": "Task completed: no message", "taskId": … }`). Note the legacy-only
|
|
**Logs** tab (this server advertises `logging`), absent from the modern monitor
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- SDK v2 removed all tasks support **and** era-gates the `tasks/*` spec methods
|
|
out of the 2026-07-28 era on **both** the client (outbound) and server
|
|
(inbound), and its codec rejects a `resultType: "task"` result outright. So the
|
|
Inspector drives the extension itself: the task-creation frame is rewritten at
|
|
the transport into a `CallToolResult` carrying the handle (the true
|
|
`resultType: "task"` frame is still logged to the Protocol/Network tabs), and
|
|
`tasks/get` / `tasks/update` / `tasks/cancel` ride a raw-wire request channel
|
|
that carries the full modern envelope and is consumed by the transport before
|
|
the SDK Client sees it. The test server serves `tasks/*` from an Express
|
|
interceptor ahead of the SDK handler (the SDK's modern leg would answer them
|
|
`-32601`).
|
|
- On modern, task creation is **server-directed** (SEP-2663): the client declares
|
|
the extension once and any tool may return a task, so the Tools screen offers
|
|
**Run as task** for every tool on a modern connection (rather than gating on the
|
|
legacy per-tool `taskSupport`).
