# MCP Java SDK Conformance Test Validation Results
Last validated: **2026-08-17** against conformance suite
**`@modelcontextprotocol/conformance@0.2.0-alpha.11`** (SDK at `main`, 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT), targetting
version 2025-11-25 (`--spec-version 2025-11-25`).
## Summary
**Server Tests (active suite):** 44/44 passed (31 scenarios, 100%)
**Server Tests (spec 2025-11-25):** 4/4 passed — SEP-1613 `json-schema-2020-12` scenario ✨
**Client Tests:** 3/4 scenarios passed (9/10 checks passed)
**Auth Tests:** 15/15 scenarios fully passing (195 passed, 0 failed, 0 warnings, 100% scenarios, 100% checks)
**Server Tests (active suite):** 73/73 checks passed (31 scenarios, 100%)
**Server Tests (SEP-1613 `json-schema-2020-12`):** 5/5 checks passed (SEP-2106 checks skipped — post-2025-11-25 spec additions)
**Client Tests:** 3/4 scenarios passed; `sse-retry` fails (tracked in `conformance-baseline.yml`)
**Auth Tests:** 14/14 scenarios passing (193 checks, 0 failed, 0 warnings)
Baseline check passed on every run: all failures are expected per
[`conformance-baseline.yml`](conformance-baseline.yml).

- **Lifecycle & Utilities:** initialize, ping, logging-set-level, completion-complete
- **Tools (13/13):** all scenarios including progress notifications, sampling, elicitation
- **Elicitation:** SEP-1034 defaults (6 checks), SEP-1330 enums (6 checks)
- **Resources:** list, read-text, read-binary, templates-read, subscribe, unsubscribe
- **Prompts:** list, simple, with-args, embedded-resource, with-image
- **SSE Transport:** multiple streams
- **Security:** DNS rebinding protection
### Spec 2025-11-25 Scenarios — Passing (1/1 scenario, 4/4 checks)
### SEP-1613 — JSON Schema 2020-12 (5/5 checks)
- **JSON Schema 2020-12 (SEP-1613) (4/4):** ✨
- `json_schema_2020_12_tool` found
- `inputSchema.$schema` field preserved
- `inputSchema.$defs` field preserved
- `inputSchema.additionalProperties` field preserved
- `json_schema_2020_12_tool` found; `$schema`, `$defs`, and `additionalProperties`
fields preserved; every JSON-RPC message valid per the spec JSON schema for the
negotiated spec version (`wire-schema-valid`)
- SEP-2106 checks (composition/conditional/anchor keywords) reported SKIPPED:
they postdate the 2025-11-25 spec release and are excluded from scoring
## Client Test Results
### Passing (3/4 scenarios, 9/10 checks)
### Passing (3/4 scenarios)
- **initialize (1/1):** Protocol negotiation, clientInfo, capabilities
- **tools_call (1/1):** Tool discovery and invocation
- **elicitation-sep1034-client-defaults (5/5):** Default values for string, integer, number, enum, boolean
- **initialize (1/1):** protocol negotiation, clientInfo, capabilities
- **tools_call (2/2):** tool discovery and invocation
- **elicitation-sep1034-client-defaults (5/5):** default values for string, integer, number, enum, boolean
### Partially Passing (1/4 scenarios, 1/2 checks)
### Failing — in baseline (1/4 scenarios)
- **sse-retry (1/2 + 1 warning):**
- ✅ Reconnects after stream closure
- ❌ Does not respect retry timing
- ⚠️ Does not send Last-Event-ID header (SHOULD requirement)
**Issue:** Client treats `retry:` SSE field as invalid instead of parsing it for reconnection timing.
- **sse-retry:** client does not parse/respect the `retry:` SSE field timing and
does not send the `Last-Event-ID` header (SHOULD requirement). Expected failure,
listed in `conformance-baseline.yml`.
## Auth Test Results (Spring HTTP Client)
**Status: 195 passed, 0 failed, 0 warnings across 15 scenarios**
**Status: 193 checks passed, 0 failed, 0 warnings across 14 scenarios**
Uses the `client-spring-http-client` module with Spring Security OAuth2 and the [mcp-client-security](https://github.com/springaicommunity/mcp-client-security) library.

### Fully Passing (15/15 scenarios)
Fully passing: metadata-default, metadata-var1/2/3, basic-cimd,
scope-from-www-authenticate, scope-from-scopes-supported, scope-omitted-when-undefined,
scope-step-up, scope-retry-limit, token-endpoint-auth-basic/post/none, pre-registration.

- **auth/metadata-var2 (13/13):** Metadata discovery variant 2
- **auth/metadata-var3 (13/13):** Metadata discovery variant 3
- **auth/basic-cimd (12/12):** Basic Client-Initiated Metadata Discovery
- **auth/scope-from-www-authenticate (14/14):** Scope extraction from WWW-Authenticate header
- **auth/scope-from-scopes-supported (14/14):** Scope extraction from scopes_supported
- **auth/scope-omitted-when-undefined (14/14):** Scope omitted when not defined

Note: `auth/resource-mismatch` (present in earlier suite versions) is no longer part
of the 0.2.0-alpha auth suite.
## Known Limitations
1. **Client SSE Retry:** Client doesn't parse or respect the `retry:` field, reconnects immediately, and doesn't send Last-Event-ID header

## Running Tests
### Server (active suite)
```bash
# Start server
./mvnw compile -pl conformance-tests/server-servlet -am exec:java
# Build and start server
./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
mvn exec:java -pl conformance-tests/server-servlet \
-Dexec.mainClass="io.modelcontextprotocol.conformance.server.ConformanceServlet"
# Run tests (in another terminal)
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance server --url http://localhost:8080/mcp --suite active
# Run tests (in another terminal, from the repo root)
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance@0.2.0-alpha.11 server \
--url http://localhost:8080/mcp --suite active \
--expected-failures ./conformance-tests/conformance-baseline.yml
```
### Server (spec 2025-11-25 scenarios — SEP-1613)
### Server (SEP-1613 scenario)
```bash
# Start server (if not already running)
./mvnw compile -pl conformance-tests/server-servlet -am exec:java
# Run json-schema-2020-12 scenario
cd ../conformance && node --import tsx/esm src/index.ts server \
--url http://localhost:8080/mcp \
--scenario json-schema-2020-12
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance@0.2.0-alpha.11 server \
--url http://localhost:8080/mcp --scenario json-schema-2020-12
```
### Client
```bash
# Build
cd conformance-tests/client-jdk-http-client
../../mvnw clean package -DskipTests
# Run all scenarios
for scenario in initialize tools_call elicitation-sep1034-client-defaults sse-retry; do
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance client \
--command "java -jar target/client-jdk-http-client-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" \
--scenario $scenario
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance@0.2.0-alpha.11 client \
--command "java -jar conformance-tests/client-jdk-http-client/target/client-jdk-http-client-*.jar" \
--scenario $scenario \
--expected-failures ./conformance-tests/conformance-baseline.yml
done
```
### Auth (Spring HTTP Client)
Ensure you run with the conformance testing suite `0.1.15` or higher.
```bash
# Build
cd conformance-tests/client-spring-http-client
../../mvnw clean package -DskipTests
# Run auth suite
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance@0.1.15 client \
npx @modelcontextprotocol/conformance@0.2.0-alpha.11 client \
--spec-version 2025-11-25 \
--command "java -jar target/client-spring-http-client-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar" \
--suite auth
--command "java -jar conformance-tests/client-spring-http-client/target/client-spring-http-client-*.jar" \
--suite auth \
--expected-failures ./conformance-tests/conformance-baseline.yml
```
