* [Server] Let the client gateway see modern-era capabilities
The six supports*() probes read session state only InitializeHandler wrote,
so every request served statelessly reported no client capabilities at all —
a tool guarding on them took the unsupported branch without a signal.
StatelessProtocol now writes the request's declaration under the same keys.
* [Server] Reject the RPCs 2026-07-28 removed
resources/subscribe and resources/unsubscribe were still dispatched and
answered 200 OK, recording subscriptions the modern era never reads. They
join initialize, ping and logging/setLevel in the era guard; the handlers
stay registered because the handshake era still serves them.
* [Server] Decode a wrapped Mcp-Name before comparing it
The Base64 sentinel was only unwrapped for Mcp-Param-*, so any resource URI
or tool name outside the header-safe ASCII set — which the spec explicitly
tells clients to wrap — was compared encoded and refused with -32020.
* [Server] Require the MCP-Protocol-Version header
It was only checked for contradicting the body, so omitting it entirely
passed — leaving the value intermediaries route on unenforced. Tied to the
header validator's presence, since that is what a header-bearing transport
installs and stdio carries its metadata inline.
* [Server] Read the modern-era request body whole
A single read() takes whatever the stream cares to give — 64 bytes from a
chunked transfer is legal — so an oversized-but-valid POST came back as a
parse error. Shares the legacy transport's incremental read as a trait.
* [Schema][Server] Answer a notification with a status, not a response
A body with no id was dispatched as a request and came back as a JSON-RPC
error carrying "id": "" — an id nobody issued, and on a path a client uses
to tell a modern server from a legacy one. Notifications now get 202 and no
body, and Error omits an id it could not read instead of emptying it.
* [Server] Stop emitting the error codes 2026-07-28 reserved
resources/read answered -32002, which this revision forbids; prompts/get
and completion/complete answered it for an unknown *name*, which it never
meant; tools/call answered -32601, which belongs to an unknown method.
Only the resources/read code is revision-gated — older peers expect -32002
there, and nowhere else. Also routes the -32021 capability exception out of
the prompt and resource handlers, which were swallowing it into -32603.
* Address review feedback on resource_link
Three follow-ups from review of the resource_link work:
* PromptResultFormatter: add a regression test proving the optional
fields of a typed resource_link block (title, description, mimeType,
size, annotations, _meta) survive formatting. The delegation to
ResourceLink::fromArray() already landed while rebasing onto the
PromptResultFormatter refactor, but the existing test only supplied
uri/name and so could not catch a reintroduced field drop.
* ResourceLink::fromArray(): validate optional fields consistently, the
way the equivalent ResourceDefinition::fromArray() already does.
description, mimeType and size now raise InvalidArgumentException
instead of surfacing a TypeError (or silently coercing, for size's
(int) cast); annotations goes through Annotations::tryFromArray(),
which carries the is_array() guard that icons already had; icons uses
Icon::listFromArray() so a non-array entry is reported in context.
* ToolReference::extractStructuredContent(): never emit a list as
structuredContent. The Content guard added earlier fixed only one
instance of the real invariant - structuredContent must be a JSON
object, and a PHP list can never be one. Tool::fromArray() already
enforces the matching rule by rejecting an outputSchema whose type is
not "object", so this aligns the runtime path with it. The test
asserting the opposite for an array-typed outputSchema contradicted
the phpstan type and the fromArray() check introduced alongside it in
the same commit, so it is replaced by tests for the two list shapes.
* Apply the structuredContent object rule to object results too
`extractStructuredContent()` guards raw array results against being emitted
as a JSON array, but the object branch handed back whatever `json_decode()`
produced. A `JsonSerializable` returning a list or a scalar slipped straight
through, producing exactly the `structuredContent` the array guard exists to
prevent — and a return value that contradicts the method's own
`array<string, mixed>|null` signature.
Check the decoded value before returning it, and cover the object branch,
which had no tests at all.
* Document structured tool output
`outputSchema` and `structuredContent` were undocumented: the tool return
value docs covered only the `content` side, and the schema generation
section is about tool parameters.
Add a "Structured Output" subsection covering how to declare the schema,
which return values populate `structuredContent`, and why a list has to be
wrapped in a key to get structured output at all.
* Gate structuredContent on the negotiated protocol revision
SEP-2106 (revision 2026-07-28) widens structuredContent to any JSON value;
earlier revisions require an object. Resolve the revision per request and
apply the matching rule, and warn when a declared outputSchema yields none.
* Resolve the protocol revision on RequestContext
Keeps the `_meta`-then-session lookup in one place instead of per handler,
and exposes the negotiated revision to tool handlers.
* Document reading the negotiated revision from RequestContext
* Warn when a self-built CallToolResult carries an invalid structuredContent
Returning a CallToolResult opts out of the extraction rules, so the value is
still sent unchanged — but a JSON array is not valid before SEP-2106.
* [Client][Docs][Schema][Server] Implement protocol version negotiation
The `initialize` handler never looked at the version the client asked for:
it always answered with the server's configured version (or the SDK default),
so a client offering a revision the server supports could still be told to
speak a different one. The spec requires echoing back a supported request and
only counter-offering when the requested version cannot be honoured.
Turns ProtocolVersion into the registry the other SDKs converged on
(typescript-sdk's protocolEras.ts, python-sdk's mcp_types/version.py):
`latestHandshake()`, `handshakeVersions()`, `modernVersions()` and ordered
comparison through `isAtLeast()`. Comparison goes through declaration order
rather than string collation, so an unrecognized peer string compares
conservatively instead of accidentally sorting above a known revision. The
one throw the enum can produce is the SDK's own LogicException, so a consumer
catching `Mcp\Exception\ExceptionInterface` does not miss it.
Adds 2026-07-28 as a known revision and splits the set into two eras:
handshake (2025-11-25 and earlier, negotiated via `initialize`) and modern
(2026-07-28+, per-request `_meta`). The lists are kept apart so a modern
revision can never leak into an `initialize` exchange, which has no
`initialize` at all. Serving the modern era is follow-up work; this only
teaches the SDK that the revision exists and must not be mis-negotiated.
Deliberately absent is any "newest revision in any era" accessor, which
would hand back the one revision the handshake must never offer.
Server: negotiates and stores the result on the session. A version pinned in
Configuration still pins the handshake to exactly that revision.
Client: validates the counter-offer and fails the handshake instead of
continuing on a revision it cannot speak; records the negotiated version on
the client state, readable through the new Client::getProtocolVersion().
The HTTP middleware now defaults to the handshake versions rather than every
declared case, so it stops accepting a modern version the server cannot yet
serve. When the header is absent it falls back to
ProtocolVersion::DEFAULT_NEGOTIATED_VERSION (2025-03-26), the revision that
introduced both Streamable HTTP and the header itself.
The negotiation behaviour is one provideNegotiationTable() data provider
whose rows are the documented table -- supported revision echoed back,
unknown or malformed counter-offered, modern counter-offered -- so the docs
and the suite cannot drift apart. The supported-revision rows iterate
handshakeVersions() rather than a literal list, so declaring a new handshake
revision extends the table automatically, and the "never answer with a modern
revision" assertion runs on every row.
Documented in server-builder.md (the enum registry, how the server answers a
handshake, what pinning changes), transports.md (the header check) and
client.md (the client's side), all linking the spec's versioning section.
* [Client][Docs][Schema][Server] Warn when the configured protocol version cannot be negotiated
* Log a warning instead of silently falling back when a modern revision is
configured on the client or pinned on the server builder.
* Document that setProtocolVersion() does not restrict the MCP-Protocol-Version
header check, which validates against a fixed set.
* Pin every revision's era in a test, so a new case declared past the modern
boundary fails instead of dropping out of the handshake set.
* Add CHANGELOG entry.
* [Client][Docs][Schema][Server] Rename version fallback constant and trim comments
A non-template resource resolves to a ResourceReference, which has no completionProviders property; only prompts and resource templates do. Read providers from those instead, returning an empty completion result when a resource has none.
* [Server] feat: allow runtime handlers
Adds Mcp\Server\Handler\RunTimeHandlerInterface so integrators
(e.g. configuration-driven element sources) can register handlers
whose arguments and execution are resolved at runtime rather than
via PHP reflection of a callable.
ReferenceHandler::handle() dispatches instanceof RunTimeHandler
ahead of the callable/array/string branches, calls filterArguments
to narrow the argument map, and forwards execute() a ClientGateway
built from the active session.
The Registry-layer surface (ElementReference and the four
*Reference subclasses, RegistryInterface, Registry::register*,
ArrayLoader's handler-description helper) is widened to accept the
new type. The Builder/ArrayLoader path keeps its narrow callable
union; exposing runtime handlers there requires reworking
HandlerResolver and is left for a follow-up.
* feat(server): add runtime handler metadata API
Extend RunTimeHandlerInterface with four nullable metadata
accessors (getInputSchema, getOutputSchema, getPromptArguments,
getCompletionProviders) so the loader can obtain element
metadata without reflection.
Add RunTimeHandlerTrait providing null defaults for all four
accessors so single-purpose handlers can override only the
methods relevant to their element kind.
* feat(server): expose runtime handlers via Builder
Widen Builder::addTool, addResource, addResourceTemplate, and
addPrompt to accept RunTimeHandlerInterface instances alongside
the existing closure/array/string handler forms.
Branch ArrayLoader::load() on instanceof RunTimeHandlerInterface
in each of the four registration loops so runtime handlers skip
the reflection-based HandlerResolver/HandlerSchema path and pull
metadata from the interface accessors instead. Require explicit
name and description for runtime handlers and raise
ConfigurationException when missing or when a runtime tool has
no input schema source.
Replace direct $data['handler'] use in error log context with
getHandlerDescription() to avoid serializing large runtime
handler object graphs into log records.
Document the runtime handler API in docs/server-builder.md with a
new Runtime Handlers subsection and add a cross-reference from
docs/mcp-elements.md.
* test(server): cover runtime handler Builder path
Add ArrayLoaderRunTimeHandlerTest covering:
- successful tool registration with handler-supplied input schema,
with kwarg input schema (precedence over the handler), and the
same precedence rule for output schema
- ConfigurationException for tools missing name, description, or
any input schema source
- successful resource registration via Builder kwargs and the
matching missing-name failure mode
- successful resource template registration with completion
providers sourced from the handler and the missing-description
failure mode
- successful prompt registration with arguments and completion
providers sourced from the handler, plus the missing-name
failure mode
- a trait-only fixture verifying the four metadata accessors
return null by default
Update existing ReferenceHandlerTest anonymous classes to use
RunTimeHandlerTrait so they satisfy the widened interface.
* refactor(server): split runtime handler interface
Splits RunTimeHandlerInterface into a minimal base contract (only
execute()) plus element-specific subtypes: RunTimeToolHandlerInterface,
RunTimePromptHandlerInterface, and
RunTimeResourceTemplateHandlerInterface. Each subtype declares only
the metadata accessors relevant to its element kind, so a tool
handler no longer has to no-op out prompt or template methods.
Drops the now-redundant RunTimeHandlerTrait and removes
filterArguments; execute() receives the full argument map directly.
Updates ArrayLoader, ReferenceHandler, and Builder type signatures
to use the per-element interfaces, and rewrites the Runtime
Handlers documentation accordingly.
* refactor(server): rename runtime handler interfaces to Runtime casing
Renames RunTimeHandlerInterface and its element-specific subtypes to
Runtime casing, adds a dedicated RuntimeResourceHandlerInterface so
addResource() rejects mismatched runtime handlers at the type level,
and strips _session and _request from arguments forwarded to runtime
handlers. Hardens ArrayLoader to re-throw ConfigurationException
without wrapping, and extracts inline test fixtures into
tests/Fixtures/Runtime/.
* chore: please the linting gods
* test(server): use Uuid::v4 for symfony/uid 5.4 compatibility
Uuid::v7() was added in symfony/uid 6.2 and breaks the Symfony 5.4
matrix job. Match the convention used elsewhere in the suite.
* refactor(server): split ArrayLoader registration
Extract per-element preparation into dedicated private prepare*
methods for tools, resources, templates, and prompts. Factor the
shared required-field assertion and reflected name/description
resolution into helpers.
* refactor(server): non-null runtime handler types
Drop nullable return types on RuntimeToolHandlerInterface::
getInputSchema(), RuntimePromptHandlerInterface::
getPromptArguments()/getCompletionProviders(), and
RuntimeResourceTemplateHandlerInterface::
getCompletionProviders() in favor of plain arrays.
ArrayLoader no longer needs the null-coalescing
fallbacks, and NullSchemaToolHandler plus its
ConfigurationException test become redundant.
* doc: update docs/server-builder.md
Co-authored-by: Christopher Hertel <mail@christopher-hertel.de>
* feat: peer revie feedback
Introduce a new `Builder::add(...)` pattern for a more generic runtime
handler.
* refactor(server): apply PR 294 review feedback
Move per-interface handler dispatch from ReferenceHandler into
ExplicitElementLoader by wrapping each ElementHandlerInterface in a
Closure that satisfies the existing callable contract, revert the
*Reference / Registry handler-type widening PR 294 introduced, throw
Mcp\Exception\InvalidArgumentException (not \TypeError) on mismatched
Builder::add() pairings, and rename two classes for clarity:
* Mcp\Capability\Registry\Loader\ArrayLoader -> ReflectedElementLoader
* Mcp\Schema\Resource -> Mcp\Schema\ResourceDefinition (no alias)
ReferenceHandler::prepareArguments() now injects ClientGateway by type
and binds an `array $arguments` / `array $variables` closure parameter
from the leftover inbound arguments. This addresses Antoine's coupling
concern (ReferenceHandler no longer knows about the four handler
interfaces) and Chris's package-exception preference, and clears the
phpdoc reserved-word collision Antoine flagged on the resource schema
class. Existing tests are re-targeted to exercise the closure path
through ExplicitElementLoader / ReferenceHandler.
* doc: address PR 294 review feedback
Apply Chris's line-level suggestions on docs/server-builder.md
(rewrap to 120 chars, smoothed Drupal mcp module name-drop in the
explicit-element registration section, exception name reads
Mcp\Exception\InvalidArgumentException), rewrap docs/mcp-elements.md
to 120 chars, and add 0.6.0 CHANGELOG entries covering the
Builder::add() entry point, the new handler interfaces, the new
ExplicitElementLoader, plus three BC breaks (Resource ->
ResourceDefinition rename, ArrayLoader -> ReflectedElementLoader
rename, mismatched-pairing exception swap).
* refactor: address self-review feedback
* CHANGELOG: drop spurious [BC Break] entry for the exception
type Builder::add() raises (method is new in this PR).
* docs/server-builder: revert wrap-only edits to pre-existing
main content; keep 120ch wrapping only for new sections.
* ExplicitElementLoader: trim verbose class docblock.
* ReferenceHandler: rename SPLAT_PARAMETER_NAMES constant to
ARGUMENT_BAG_PARAMETERS.

* feat(schema): add top-level title to Tool
Mirror PR #278's Prompt change for Tool:
- Add optional ?string $title to Mcp\Schema\Tool between $name
and $inputSchema. fromArray() now reads $data['title'];
jsonSerialize() emits 'title' right after 'name'. The
@phpstan-type ToolData gains title?: string.
- Add ?string $title to the #[McpTool] attribute between $name
and $description.
- Note ToolAnnotations::$title as deprecated-for-display in
favor of Tool::$title per MCP spec 2025-06-18 (PHPDoc only,
field retained for BC).
Phase 1 of plan 01--tool-title-spec-compliance. Later phases
update Discoverer, Builder::addTool(), ArrayLoader, and the
conformance fixture to match the new signature.
* feat(server): thread title through discovery
- Discoverer::processMethod() now propagates McpTool::$title
into every discovered Tool via named arguments.
- Builder::addTool() accepts ?string $title between $name and
$description. [BC Break] positional callers passing the old
$description as 3rd positional argument must switch to named
arguments, matching the precedent set for addPrompt() in
0.5.0.
- tests/Conformance/server.php migrated to named-argument form
for every addTool() call.
Phase 2 of plan 01--tool-title-spec-compliance.
* feat(loader): forward title in ArrayLoader
ArrayLoader now reads 'title' from each tool config entry and
passes it into the Tool constructor, completing the wiring
from Builder::addTool() through array-driven registration.
The $tools @param array-shape typedef gains title: ?string
between name and description.
Phase 3 of plan 01--tool-title-spec-compliance.
* test(schema): cover Tool.title end-to-end
- New tests/Unit/Schema/ToolTest.php: constructor round-trip,
jsonSerialize key-order when title set vs null, fromArray
tolerance.
- New tests/Unit/Capability/Discovery/DiscovererToolTitleTest
plus a TitleFixture class verifying McpTool(title: ...)
propagates through discovery into the registered Tool.
- New tests/Unit/Capability/Registry/Loader/ArrayLoader...
test verifying array-driven title propagation.
- Extend McpToolTest for title named-arg and default-null.
- Extend BuilderTest with addTool(title: 't') propagation.
- Update tests/Unit/.../RegistryTest, CallToolHandlerTest,
ListToolsHandlerTest and examples/.../server.php
new Tool(...) call sites to pass title (named args) so
they match the new constructor signature.
- CHANGELOG 0.6.0 section: feature bullet + [BC Break]
note for addTool() signature, mirroring 0.5.0 Prompt
entries.
- docs/server-builder.md: addTool() row and prose now
list title? between name and description.
Phase 4 of plan 01--tool-title-spec-compliance. All 730
phpunit tests pass; remaining phpstan warnings are
pre-existing and unrelated to Tool.title.
* refactor(schema): make Tool.title non-BC-breaking
Move `title` to the end of the Tool, Builder::addTool, and McpTool
attribute constructors with a default of null. This preserves
positional-argument compatibility and removes the need for
`title: null` boilerplate at call sites. JSON serialization order
(name, title, inputSchema, ...) is unchanged.
Also tighten the new tests: parameterize ToolTest with data
providers, fold the Discoverer title fixture into the existing
DiscoverableToolHandler, and drop the reflection-heavy Builder
test that overlapped with ArrayLoaderToolTitleTest.
* fix: move title after name
