Every wire-serialized record in McpSchema now validates spec-required
fields at construction time. Wire deserialization is intentionally
lenient: a missing required field is replaced with a documented default
and a WARN is logged, instead of failing the parse. A required-first
builder convention is introduced across the schema so it is no longer
possible to obtain a builder that is missing required state.
Required-field guards
---------------------
Every wire record's compact constructor asserts non-null (and non-empty
for String identifiers like name, uri, uriTemplate, version) on its
spec-required components. Passing null now throws
IllegalArgumentException at construction time instead of silently
producing invalid JSON via @JsonInclude(NON_ABSENT). This applies to
the JSON-RPC envelopes, lifecycle types, resource/prompt/tool requests
and results, sampling and elicitation, content records, root, complete,
logging and progress notifications, and the two CompleteReference
implementations. See MIGRATION-2.0.md for the full list.
Lenient wire deserialization
----------------------------
For each of those records (except JSONRPCResponse.JSONRPCError, which
still fails fast) a @JsonCreator static `fromJson` factory substitutes
a documented default for any absent required field — "" for strings,
[] for collections, {} for maps, 0 / 0.0 for numerics, INFO for
LoggingLevel, USER for SamplingMessage.role, ASSISTANT for
CreateMessageResult.role, CANCEL for ElicitResult.action, {values=[]}
for CompleteResult.completion — and logs a WARN naming the field and
the value used. Application code can still observe a malformed message
and react, but the SDK no longer halts the conversation.
Builder convention
------------------
Records that have a builder gain a required-first factory method
`builder(req1, req2, …)`; setters for required fields are removed from
the builder so it cannot be left in an invalid state. Existing no-arg
`builder()` factories and required-field setters are kept where source
compatibility demands it but are marked @Deprecated. New builders are
also added for several records that previously had none (ProgressNotification,
JSONRPCError, CompleteRequest, list/result types, content records, ...).
JSON-RPC envelope ergonomics
----------------------------
Previously every JSON-RPC envelope had to be constructed via the
canonical record constructor and the literal "2.0" string had to be
threaded through every call site, e.g.
new JSONRPCRequest("2.0", "tools/call", id, params)
new JSONRPCResponse("2.0", id, result, null)
new JSONRPCResponse("2.0", id, null, new JSONRPCError(code, message, null))
Now:
new JSONRPCRequest("tools/call", id, params) // jsonrpc defaulted
new JSONRPCNotification("notifications/initialized") // params optional
JSONRPCResponse.result(id, result) // factory
JSONRPCResponse.error(id, new JSONRPCError(code, message)) // 2-arg error
JSONRPCResponse's compact constructor additionally enforces the
JSON-RPC invariant that exactly one of `result` / `error` is set —
previously the SDK could build envelopes that violated the protocol.
CompleteReference changes
-------------------------
- PromptReference.equals/hashCode now key on `name` only (previously
derived from identifier()+type()). Two refs with the same name but
different titles now compare equal — code using PromptReference as a
map/set key should be audited.
- PromptReference's compact constructor pins `type` to "ref/prompt"
and logs a WARN if the caller supplies a different non-null value.
The legacy two-arg `PromptReference(String type, String name)`
constructor remains @Deprecated.
- ResourceReference's record components are reduced from (type, uri)
to (uri) — positional construction breaks. The legacy
`ResourceReference(String type, String uri)` constructor stays
@Deprecated and ignores `type`.
- CompleteReference.identifier() is @Deprecated and now returns null
via a default method on the interface.
Tests / refactor
----------------
Conformance harness, integration tests, sample apps, and internal
callers were migrated to the new builder factories and convenience
constructors. No semantic changes to client/server runtime behaviour
beyond the McpSchema changes above.
Docs
----
- MIGRATION-2.0.md: required-field section now covers the broader
record set and the lenient-deserialization behaviour; PromptReference
WARN behaviour and ResourceReference component reduction are
documented; the JSON-RPC envelope section is rewritten to compare the
pre-2.0 surface with the new one.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: the "Evolving wire-serialized records" recipe is
split into two cases — adding a new optional field (existing rules)
and adding/maintaining a spec-required field (new rules covering
Assert in compact constructor, @JsonCreator fromJson with defaults
and WARN, required-first builder factory).

- The server-servlet app depends on mcp, which must be either installed
or included in the compile artifact for `mvn exec:java` to pick it up.
- Change the build instructions to build from root, use a `-pl` flag to
target the servlet app.
- Disable the exec plugin from the root pom.
