+# MCP Java SDK
+
+Java SDK for the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io), enabling Java applications to
+implement MCP clients and servers (sync and async) over stdio, SSE, and Streamable HTTP transports.
+
+## Modules
+
+- `mcp-core` — protocol types, schema, client/server implementation, transports
+- `mcp-json`, `mcp-json-jackson2`, `mcp-json-jackson3` — JSON binding abstraction + Jackson implementations
+- `mcp` — pom-only project, single dependency pulling both `mcp-core` and `mcp-json-jackson3`
+- `mcp-bom` — Maven BOM for dependency management
+- `mcp-test` — test fixtures shared across modules
+- `mcp-test` — test fixtures shared across modules
+- `conformance-tests` — client/server implementations run against the MCP conformance suite
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Java 17 or above
+- Docker
+- `npx`
+
+## Build & Test
+
+```bash
+./mvnw clean compile -DskipTests   # build
+./mvnw test                        # tests (requires Docker + npx)
+```
+
+Formatting (`spring-javaformat`) is validated automatically as part of every build (bound to the
+`validate` phase), so a formatting violation fails `./mvnw test` before any tests run. Fix violations with:
+
+```bash
+./mvnw spring-javaformat:apply
+```
+
+## Evolving `McpSchema` records
+
+Records in `McpSchema` are serialized directly to the MCP JSON wire format, so changing one is a wire-format
+change, not a routine refactor. Whether a field is *optional* (Java may leave it `null`) or *spec-required*
+by MCP determines a different set of rules — field ordering, `@JsonCreator` placement, default handling, and
+required test coverage. See the "Evolving wire-serialized records" section of
+[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) before touching a record in `McpSchema`; do not guess at the pattern from
+a single existing field.
+
+## Versioning & dependencies
+
+- The SDK follows semver; see [VERSIONING.md](VERSIONING.md) for exactly what counts as a breaking change
+  (it's broader than the obvious API removals — e.g. dropping a Java LTS version or a transport type also
+  counts).
+- Dependency bumps require a concrete reason (security, bug, needed feature) — see
+  [DEPENDENCY_POLICY.md](DEPENDENCY_POLICY.md). Don't bump a dependency just because a newer version exists.
+
+## Contribution principles
+
+From [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md):
+
+- **Simple + minimal**: it's much easier to add things to the codebase than to remove them, so keep a high
+  bar for new concepts and primitives.
+- **Concrete**: changes should be based on specific usage and implementation challenges, not speculative
+  ideas. The SDK's job is to implement the MCP specification.
+- For non-trivial changes, clarify scope with maintainers in an issue before investing in an implementation.
+- For follow-up review feedback, add new commits instead of force-pushing, so reviewers can see incremental
+  changes.

 ## Evolving wire-serialized records
 
-Records in `McpSchema` are serialized directly to the MCP JSON wire format. Follow these rules whenever you add a field to an existing record to keep the protocol forward- and backward-compatible.
+Records in `McpSchema` are serialized directly to the MCP JSON wire format. The rules differ depending on whether the field you are adding (or maintaining) is *optional* — Java code may legitimately leave it `null` and the wire may omit it — or *spec-required* by MCP. Follow **Case A** for optional fields and **Case B** for spec-required fields.
 
-### Rules
+### Case A — Optional fields
 
 1. **Add new components only at the end** of the record's component list. Never reorder or rename existing components.
 2. **Annotate every component** with `@JsonProperty("fieldName")` even when the Java name already matches. This survives local renames via refactoring tools.
 3. **Use boxed types** (`Boolean`, `Integer`, `Long`, `Double`) so the field can be absent on the wire without a special sentinel.
-4. **Default to `null`**, not an empty collection or neutral value, so the `@JsonInclude(NON_NULL)` rule omits the field for clients that don't know about it yet.
+4. **Default to `null`**, not an empty collection or neutral value, so the `@JsonInclude(NON_ABSENT)` rule omits the field for clients that don't know about it yet.
 5. **Keep existing constructors as source-compatible overloads** that delegate to the new canonical constructor and pass `null` for the new component. Do not remove them in the same release that adds the field.
-6. **Do not put `@JsonCreator` on the canonical constructor** unless strictly necessary. Jackson auto-detects record canonical constructors; adding `@JsonCreator` pins deserialization to that exact parameter order forever.
-7. **Do not convert `null` to a default value in the canonical constructor.** Null carries "absent" semantics and must be preserved through the serialization round-trip.
+6. **Do not put `@JsonCreator` on the canonical constructor** unless strictly necessary. Jackson auto-detects record canonical constructors; adding `@JsonCreator` pins deserialization to that exact parameter order forever. *(For records that also have spec-required fields, the `@JsonCreator` belongs on a separate static `fromJson` factory — see Case B, Rule 2.)*
+7. **Do not convert `null` to a default value in the canonical constructor.** Null carries "absent" semantics and must be preserved through the serialization round-trip. *(Spec-required fields are the exception — see Case B, Rule 1.)*
 8. **Add three tests per new field** (put them in the relevant test class in `mcp-test`):
    - Deserialize JSON *without* the field → succeeds, field is `null`.
    - Serialize an instance with the field unset (`null`) → the key is absent from output.
    - Deserialize JSON with an extra *unknown* field → succeeds.
-9. **An inner `Builder` subclass can be used.** This improves the developer experience since frequently not all fields are required. 
+9. **An inner `Builder` subclass can be used.** This improves the developer experience since frequently not all fields are required.
+
+### Case B — Spec-required fields
+
+When the MCP specification marks a field as required, callers must not be able to construct a structurally invalid record, but the wire parser must still tolerate peers that fail to send it. Follow these rules in addition to the relevant Case A rules (annotation, naming, append-only).
+
+1. **Reject `null` in the compact constructor.** Use `Assert.notNull` for required objects or `Assert.hasText` for required `String` identifiers (`name`, `uri`, `uriTemplate`, `version`). This throws `IllegalArgumentException` at construction time instead of producing a record that fails later in serialization or protocol handling. Overrides Case A Rule 7 for this field.
+2. **Add a `@JsonCreator` static `fromJson` factory** alongside the canonical constructor. When a required field is absent from the wire, substitute a documented safe default (`""` for strings, `[]` for collections, `{}` for maps, `0` / `0.0` for numerics, `INFO` for `LoggingLevel`, etc.) and log at `WARN` naming the field and the value used. The SDK must not halt the conversation because of a missing field. Place `@JsonCreator` on this `fromJson` factory, never on the canonical constructor (Case A Rule 6 still applies to the canonical constructor itself).
+   - Exception: `JSONRPCResponse.JSONRPCError` fails fast on missing `code` / `message` because a malformed JSON-RPC error envelope is unrecoverable.
+3. **Provide a required-first builder factory** `builder(req1, req2, …)` and remove the corresponding setters from the `Builder`. A no-arg `builder()` factory must not exist on a record that has required fields. If one already exists for source compatibility, mark it `@Deprecated`.
+4. **Add tests per required field**:
+   - Constructing the record with `null` for the field throws `IllegalArgumentException`.
+   - Deserializing JSON *without* the field succeeds and yields the documented default.
+   - Deserializing JSON with an extra *unknown* field still succeeds (Case A Rule 8 also applies).

-## Jackson / JSON serialization changes
+## Schema construction and required fields
+
+### Required MCP spec fields are enforced at construction time
+
+Every wire record in `McpSchema` whose fields are marked required by the MCP spec now asserts non-null (and non-empty for `String` identifiers like `name`, `uri`, `uriTemplate`, `version`) in its compact constructor. Passing `null` throws `IllegalArgumentException` immediately, instead of producing a structurally invalid object that fails later in serialization or protocol handling.
+
+This applies to (non-exhaustive):
+
+- JSON-RPC envelopes: `JSONRPCRequest`, `JSONRPCNotification`, `JSONRPCResponse`, `JSONRPCResponse.JSONRPCError`
+- Lifecycle: `InitializeRequest`, `InitializeResult`, `Implementation`
+- Resources: `Resource`, `ResourceTemplate`, `ListResourcesResult`, `ListResourceTemplatesResult`, `ReadResourceRequest`, `ReadResourceResult`, `SubscribeRequest`, `UnsubscribeRequest`, `ResourcesUpdatedNotification`, `TextResourceContents`, `BlobResourceContents`
+- Prompts: `Prompt`, `PromptArgument`, `PromptMessage`, `ListPromptsResult`, `GetPromptRequest`, `GetPromptResult`
+- Tools: `Tool`, `ListToolsResult`, `CallToolRequest`, `CallToolResult`
+- Sampling / elicitation: `SamplingMessage`, `CreateMessageRequest`, `CreateMessageResult`, `ElicitRequest`, `ElicitResult`
+- Misc: `ProgressNotification`, `SetLevelRequest`, `LoggingMessageNotification`, `CompleteRequest`, `CompleteResult`, `CompleteRequest.CompleteArgument`, content records (`TextContent`, `ImageContent`, `AudioContent`, `EmbeddedResource`), `Root`, `ListRootsResult`, `PromptReference`, `ResourceReference`
+
+**Action:** Audit any code that constructs these records with potentially-null values and provide valid, non-null arguments.
+
+**Wire deserialization stays lenient.** Records expose a `@JsonCreator fromJson` factory that substitutes safe defaults (e.g. `[]`, `""`, `0`, `INFO`, `Action.CANCEL`) for any absent required field and logs a `WARN` naming the field and the substituted value. `JSONRPCResponse.JSONRPCError` is excluded — malformed JSON-RPC error envelopes still fail immediately.
+
+**Note:** `LoggingMessageNotification` / `SetLevelRequest` default a *missing* `level` to `INFO`, but an *unrecognized* level string still deserializes to `null` (see [`LoggingLevel` deserialization is lenient](#logginglevel-deserialization-is-lenient)) and will then fail the canonical constructor. Ensure clients and servers send only recognized level strings.
+
+### `Prompt` no longer coerces `null` arguments
+
+In 1.x, `new Prompt(name, description, null)` silently stored an empty list for `arguments`. In 2.0 it stores `null`.
+
+**Action:**
+
+- Code that expected `prompt.arguments()` to return an empty list when not provided will now receive `null`. Add a null-check.
+- On the wire, a prompt without an `arguments` field deserializes with `arguments == null` (it is not coerced to an empty list).
+
+### Builder API: required-first factories; old setters/no-arg builders deprecated
+
+Most records that have a builder gained a required-first factory method (`builder(req1, req2, …)`). The old no-arg `builder()` factory, the public no-arg `Builder()` constructor, and the setters for the now-required fields are kept but `@Deprecated`. They still compile, so 1.x code keeps working with deprecation warnings; migrate to the required-first factories to clear them.

+
+## Schema type and shape changes
+
+### `Tool.inputSchema` is `Map<String, Object>`, not `JsonSchema`
+
+The `Tool` record now models `inputSchema` (and `outputSchema`) as arbitrary JSON Schema objects of type `Map<String, Object>`, so dialect-specific keywords (`$ref`, `unevaluatedProperties`, vendor extensions, and so on) round-trip without being trimmed by a narrow `JsonSchema` record.
+
+**Action:**
+
+- Java code that used `Tool.inputSchema()` as a `JsonSchema` must switch to `Map<String, Object>` (or copy into your own schema wrapper).
+- `Tool.Builder.inputSchema(JsonSchema)` remains as a **deprecated** helper that maps the old record into a map; prefer `inputSchema(Map)` or `inputSchema(McpJsonMapper, String)`.

-`CompleteReference` (and its implementations `PromptReference` and `ResourceReference`) is now annotated with `@JsonTypeInfo(use = NAME, include = EXISTING_PROPERTY, property = "type", visible = true)`. Jackson will automatically dispatch to the correct subtype based on the `"type"` field in the JSON without any hand-written map-walking code.
+`CompleteReference` (and its implementations `PromptReference` and `ResourceReference`) is now annotated with `@JsonTypeInfo(use = NAME, include = EXISTING_PROPERTY, property = "type", visible = true)`. Jackson dispatches to the correct subtype based on the `"type"` field automatically.
 
 **Action:** Remove any custom code that manually inspected the `"type"` field of a completion reference map and instantiated `PromptReference` / `ResourceReference` by hand. A plain `mapper.readValue(json, CompleteRequest.class)` or `mapper.convertValue(paramsMap, CompleteRequest.class)` is sufficient.
 
-### `Prompt` canonical constructor no longer coerces `null` arguments
+`CompleteReference.identifier()` is `@Deprecated` and now returns `null` via a default method on the interface.
 
-In 1.x, `new Prompt(name, description, null)` silently stored an empty list for `arguments`. In 2.0 it stores `null`.
+### `PromptReference` discriminator pinning and equality
 
-**Action:**
+`PromptReference` keeps its `(type, name, title)` record components, so positional construction from 1.x still compiles, with two behavioural changes:
 
-- Code that expected `prompt.arguments()` to return an empty list when not provided will now receive `null`. Add a null-check or use the new `Prompt.withDefaults(name, description, arguments)` factory, which preserves the old behaviour by coercing `null` to `[]`.
-- On the wire, a prompt without an `arguments` field deserializes with `arguments == null` (it is not coerced to an empty list).
+- The compact constructor pins `type` to `ref/prompt`. Any non-null value other than `ref/prompt` is replaced and a `WARN` is logged. The legacy two-arg `PromptReference(String type, String name)` constructor remains `@Deprecated` and routes through the canonical constructor, so it triggers the same WARN.
+- `equals`/`hashCode` now consider `name` only (title and type are ignored). Two refs with the same name but different titles compare equal.
 
-### `CompleteCompletion` optional fields omitted when null
+**Action:** Audit any code that used `PromptReference` as a map key or in a `Set` — equality semantics changed. If you constructed instances with a custom `type` string, switch to `PromptReference.builder(name)` (or `new PromptReference(name)`); the WARN identifies the call sites still passing a discriminator.
 
-`CompleteResult.CompleteCompletion.total` and `CompleteCompletion.hasMore` are now omitted from serialized JSON when they are `null` (previously they were always emitted). Deserializers that required these fields to be present in every response must be updated to treat their absence as `null`.
+### `ResourceReference` record component reduced
 
-### `CompleteCompletion.values` is mandatory in the Java API
+Components changed from `(type, uri)` to `(uri)`. Positional construction with two arguments breaks. The legacy `ResourceReference(String type, String uri)` constructor stays `@Deprecated`; it ignores `type` and logs a `WARN`. Use `new ResourceReference(uri)` or `ResourceReference.builder(uri)`. The `type()` accessor still returns `ref/resource` and Jackson serializes it via `@JsonProperty("type")` on the accessor.
 
-The compact constructor for `CompleteCompletion` asserts that `values` is not `null`. Code that constructed a completion result with a null `values` list will now fail at runtime.
+### `ElicitRequest` is now an interface
 
-**Action:** Always pass a non-null list (for example `List.of()` when there are no suggestions).
+To support URL-mode elicitation (see [New features](#new-features)), the elicitation request type was split:
 
-### `LoggingLevel` deserialization is lenient
+- `ElicitRequest` changed from a `record` to an `interface`.
+- The original form-based request record is now `ElicitFormRequest`.
+- The `McpClient` builder `elicitation(...)` methods now accept a handler over `ElicitFormRequest` instead of `ElicitRequest`.
 
-`LoggingLevel` now uses a `@JsonCreator` factory (`fromValue`) so that JSON string values deserialize in a case-insensitive way. **Unrecognized level strings deserialize to `null`** instead of causing deserialization to fail.
-
-**Impact:** `SetLevelRequest`, `LoggingMessageNotification`, and any other type that embeds `LoggingLevel` can observe a `null` level when the wire value is unknown or misspelled. Downstream code must null-check or validate before use.
-
-### `Content.type()` is ignored for Jackson serialization
-
-The `Content` interface still exposes `type()` as a convenience for Java callers, but the method is annotated with `@JsonIgnore` so Jackson does not treat it as a duplicate `"type"` property alongside `@JsonTypeInfo` on the interface.
-
-**Impact:** Custom serializers or `ObjectMapper` configuration that relied on serializing `Content` through the default `type()` accessor alone should use the concrete content records (each of which carries a real `"type"` property) or the polymorphic setup on `Content`.
+**Action:** Replace references to the old `ElicitRequest` record (construction, `instanceof`, handler signatures) with `ElicitFormRequest`. Code that only referred to `ElicitRequest` as a type continues to compile against the new interface.
 
 ### `ServerParameters` no longer carries Jackson annotations
 
 `ServerParameters` (in `client/transport`) has had its `@JsonProperty` and `@JsonInclude` annotations removed. It was never a wire type and is not serialized to JSON in normal SDK usage. If your code serialized or deserialized `ServerParameters` using Jackson, switch to a plain map or a dedicated DTO.
 
-### Record annotation sweep
+---
 
-Wire-oriented `public record` types in `McpSchema` consistently use `@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_ABSENT)` (or equivalent per-type configuration) and `@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)`. Nested capability objects under `ClientCapabilities` / `ServerCapabilities` (for example `Sampling`, `Elicitation`, `CompletionCapabilities`, `LoggingCapabilities`, prompt/resource/tool capability records) also ignore unknown JSON properties. This means:
+## JSON serialization behaviour
+
+### Unknown JSON fields are ignored
+
+Wire-oriented `public record` types in `McpSchema` consistently use `@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_ABSENT)` and `@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)`. Nested capability objects under `ClientCapabilities` / `ServerCapabilities` (for example `Sampling`, `Elicitation`, `CompletionCapabilities`, `LoggingCapabilities`, and the prompt/resource/tool capability records) also ignore unknown JSON properties. As a result:
 
 - **Unknown fields** in incoming JSON are silently ignored, improving forward compatibility with newer server or client versions.
 - **Absent optional properties** are omitted from outgoing JSON where `NON_ABSENT` applies, and optional Java components deserialize as `null` when missing on the wire.
 
-### `Tool.inputSchema` is `Map<String, Object>`, not `JsonSchema`
+### `CompleteCompletion` field handling
 
-The `Tool` record now models `inputSchema` (and `outputSchema`) as arbitrary JSON Schema objects as `Map<String, Object>`, so dialect-specific keywords (`$ref`, `unevaluatedProperties`, vendor extensions, and so on) round-trip without being trimmed by a narrow `JsonSchema` record.
+- `CompleteResult.CompleteCompletion.total` and `CompleteCompletion.hasMore` are now omitted from serialized JSON when `null` (previously they were always emitted). Deserializers that required these fields to be present must treat their absence as `null`.
+- The compact constructor asserts that `values` is not `null`. **Action:** always pass a non-null list (for example `List.of()` when there are no suggestions).
 
-**Impact:**
+### `LoggingLevel` deserialization is lenient
 
-- Java code that used `Tool.inputSchema()` as a `JsonSchema` must switch to `Map<String, Object>` (or copy into your own schema wrapper).
-- `Tool.Builder.inputSchema(JsonSchema)` remains as a **deprecated** helper that maps the old record into a map; prefer `inputSchema(Map)` or `inputSchema(McpJsonMapper, String)`.
+`LoggingLevel` now uses a `@JsonCreator` factory (`fromValue`) so JSON string values deserialize case-insensitively. **Unrecognized level strings deserialize to `null`** instead of failing.
 
-### Optional JSON Schema validation on `tools/call` (server)
+**Impact:** `SetLevelRequest`, `LoggingMessageNotification`, and any other type embedding `LoggingLevel` can observe a `null` level when the wire value is unknown or misspelled. Downstream code must null-check or validate before use.
+
+### `Content.type()` is ignored for Jackson serialization
+
+The `Content` interface still exposes `type()` as a convenience for Java callers, but the method is annotated with `@JsonIgnore` so Jackson does not treat it as a duplicate `"type"` property alongside `@JsonTypeInfo` on the interface.
+
+**Impact:** Custom serializers or `ObjectMapper` configuration that relied on serializing `Content` through the `type()` accessor alone should use the concrete content records (each of which carries a real `"type"` property) or the polymorphic setup on `Content`.
+
+### JSON-RPC envelope ergonomics
+
+In 1.x, every envelope was constructed via the canonical record constructor and the literal `"2.0"` `jsonrpc` string had to be threaded through every call site:
+
+```java
+new JSONRPCRequest("2.0", "tools/call", id, params);
+new JSONRPCNotification("2.0", "notifications/initialized", null);
+new JSONRPCResponse("2.0", id, result, null);
+new JSONRPCResponse("2.0", id, null, new JSONRPCError(code, message, null));
+```
+
+2.0 adds defaulting constructors and static factories so the `"2.0"` constant and the unused `result`/`error` slot disappear from caller code:
+
+```java
+new JSONRPCRequest("tools/call", id);                       // params optional
+new JSONRPCRequest("tools/call", id, params);
+new JSONRPCNotification("notifications/initialized");        // params optional
+new JSONRPCNotification("notifications/initialized", params);
+JSONRPCResponse.result(id, result);
+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. The 1.x canonical 4-arg constructors continue to compile.
+
+---
+
+## Server-side validation
+
+### Optional JSON Schema validation on `tools/call`
 
 When a `JsonSchemaValidator` is available (including the default from `McpJsonDefaults.getSchemaValidator()` when you do not configure one explicitly) and `validateToolInputs` is left at its default of `true`, the server validates incoming tool arguments against `tool.inputSchema()` before invoking the tool. Failed validation produces a `CallToolResult` with `isError` set and a textual error in the content.
 
 **Action:** Ensure `inputSchema` maps are valid for your validator, tighten client arguments, or disable validation with `validateToolInputs(false)` on the server builder if you must preserve pre-2.0 behaviour.
+
+### Embedded JSON Schemas are validated against 2020-12 (SEP-1613)
+
+The JSON Schema documents that MCP embeds — `Tool.inputSchema`, `Tool.outputSchema`, and `ElicitRequest.requestedSchema` — are now validated against the JSON Schema 2020-12 meta-schema by default. Servers reject malformed schemas at **build time** (`McpServer.build()`) and at **runtime** (`addTool()`) with an `IllegalArgumentException` that names the offending field and references SEP-1613. Elicitation requests whose `requestedSchema` violates the meta-schema are rejected before being sent to the client.
+
+Schemas that explicitly declare a different dialect via `$schema` are accepted without meta-schema validation — 2020-12 is the default, not the only permitted dialect.
+
+**Action:** Make embedded schemas valid 2020-12 documents, or set an explicit `$schema` to opt into a different dialect.
+
+---
+
+## Transport changes
+
+### `customizeRequest()` removed from the HttpClient transport builders
+
+The deprecated `Builder.customizeRequest(Consumer<HttpRequest.Builder>)` method on `HttpClientSseClientTransport` and `HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport` has been removed.
+
+**Action:** Use `requestBuilder(HttpRequest.Builder)` for static request setup, or `httpRequestCustomizer(McpSyncHttpClientRequestCustomizer)` for per-request customization.
+
+### `protocolVersions()` default now advertises all known versions
+
+The default implementation of `protocolVersions()` on `McpTransport` and `McpServerTransportProviderBase` previously returned only `["2024-11-05"]`. It now returns all four versions the SDK understands:
+
+```
+["2024-11-05", "2025-03-26", "2025-06-18", "2025-11-25"]
+```
+
+**Impact for transport implementors:** If your custom `McpClientTransport` or `McpServerTransportProvider` did not override `protocolVersions()`, it will now advertise all four versions during protocol negotiation instead of just `2024-11-05`. This is the intended upgrade path for most transports, but if you need to restrict your transport to a specific set of versions, override `protocolVersions()` explicitly and return the desired list.
+
+**Impact for users of built-in transports:** No action is required. `StdioClientTransport`, `StdioServerTransportProvider`, and `HttpServletStreamableServerTransportProvider` all advertise the full version list.
+
+### SSE transports are deprecated
+
+The HTTP+SSE client and server transports (and their supporting validator/exception types) are deprecated in favour of Streamable HTTP — `HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport` on the client, and `HttpServletStreamableServerTransportProvider` on the server. They still work; plan a move to Streamable HTTP.
+
+---
+
+## Server API changes
+
+### `McpStatelessSyncServer#closeGracefully` returns `void`
+
+In 1.x, `McpStatelessSyncServer.closeGracefully()` accidentally leaked the reactive signature from the underlying async server and returned `Mono<Void>`. The sync API is intentionally blocking, so returning a `Mono` was an oversight — callers had to call `.block()` themselves to get any actual shutdown behaviour.
+
+In 2.0 the return type is corrected to `void`; the blocking call is performed internally.
+
+**Action:** Remove any `.block()` (or `.subscribe()`) call you had appended to `closeGracefully()`. The method now blocks until the server has shut down and returns normally.
+
+---
+
+## New features
+
+These are additive and backward-compatible.
+
+### URL elicitation (SEP-1036)
+
+Servers can request out-of-band URL input from users (for example payment or API-key flows) during tool execution. Adds `ElicitUrlRequest`, `urlElicitation()` / `elicitationCompleteConsumer(s)()` builder methods on `McpClient`, `sendElicitationComplete()` on `McpAsyncServer`/`McpSyncServer`, the `ElicitationCompleteNotification` record, and the `URL_ELICITATION_REQUIRED` error code. See the [`ElicitRequest` interface change](#elicitrequest-is-now-an-interface) for the related breaking change.
+
+### Client-side elicitation defaults (SEP-1034)
+
+A new opt-in `McpClient` builder option `applyElicitationDefaults(boolean)` fills missing keys of an accepted `ElicitResult.content` with the `default` values declared in the request's `requestedSchema` before returning the result to the server. It is a local client config, not a wire capability.
+
+### Icons and metadata (SEP-973)
+
+A new `Icon` record and an optional `icons` field were added to `Implementation`, `Resource`, `ResourceTemplate`, `Prompt`, and `Tool`. `Implementation` also gains optional `description` and `websiteUrl` fields. All fields are optional; existing constructors and builders are unchanged.
+
+### `_meta` on paginated list queries
+
+The client list operations accept an optional `_meta` map alongside the pagination cursor: `listResources(String cursor, Map<String, Object> meta)`, `listResourceTemplates(...)`, `listPrompts(...)`, and `listTools(...)`.

-- **auth/basic-cimd (13/13 + 1 warning):** Basic Client-Initiated Metadata Discovery — all checks pass, minor warning
+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
-2. **Auth Basic CIMD:** Minor conformance warning in the basic Client-Initiated Metadata Discovery flow

 ```bash
-# Build
-cd conformance-tests/client-spring-http-client
-../../mvnw clean package -DskipTests

 ## Recommendations
 
 ### High Priority
 1. Fix client SSE retry field handling in `HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport`
-2. Implement CIMD

-1. **auth/scope-step-up** (1 failure) — The client does not fully handle scope step-up challenges where the server requests additional scopes after initial authorization.
-2. **auth/basic-cimd** (1 warning) — Minor conformance warning in the basic Client-Initiated Metadata Discovery flow.
+Currently, there are no known issues in the auth suite implementation.
