Changelog

All notable changes to mcp/sdk will be documented in this file.

0.8.0

• Always emit {} for empty tool schemas: Tool recursively normalizes every empty sub-schema — properties, items, additionalProperties, $defs, combinators and the other draft-07 to 2020-12 schema keywords — in the constructor, for both inputSchema and outputSchema, so an object position is never serialized as [].
• Prompt generators returning content as typed arrays (['type' => 'text', ...] etc.) no longer lose the optional fields: annotations on every content type, and _meta and an explicit mimeType on embedded resource contents, now carry through to the resulting PromptMessage instead of being silently dropped. A missing resource mimeType still defaults to text/plain/application/octet-stream as before.
• Add annotations support to ImageContent (constructor, fromArray(), fromFile(), fromString(), jsonSerialize()), matching TextContent and AudioContent.
• Add client-side roots/list handler (ListRootsRequestHandler + RootsCallbackInterface) and Client::sendRootsListChanged(), plus server-side ClientGateway::listRoots() / supportsRoots() and ListRootsResult::fromArray().
• Add ClientGateway::supportsSampling(), so a tool can check the client's advertised capabilities before issuing a sampling/createMessage request instead of asking and catching the refusal. Matches the existing supportsRoots() and supportsElicitation().
• [BC Break] Gate structuredContent on the negotiated protocol revision: ToolReference::extractStructuredContent() takes an optional ProtocolVersion and, for revisions predating SEP-2106 (2025-11-25 and earlier, where structuredContent must be a JSON object), returns null for a tool result that is a PHP list or an object serializing to a JSON array. From 2026-07-28 on both are emitted as-is. Objects serializing to a scalar and arrays holding Content instances are never emitted, in any revision. CallToolHandler resolves the revision from the request's _meta (modern era) or the session (handshake era) and falls back to the strictest rule; it logs a warning when a tool declares an outputSchema but returns a value that cannot be sent, and when a self-built CallToolResult carries a structuredContent the revision does not allow (that one is passed through unchanged). Tools returning a list against an older client keep their JSON-encoded value in content; they just no longer advertise an invalid structuredContent.
• Add Mcp\Schema\Content\ResourceLink for the spec's resource_link content block (protocol revision 2025-06-18+), letting tool results and prompt messages reference a resource by URI/name without embedding its contents. Accepted anywhere resource (EmbeddedResource) content is (de)serialized: CallToolResult::fromArray(), PromptMessage::fromArray(), and PromptResultFormatter.
• Negotiate the protocol revision during the initialize handshake: the server echoes a revision it supports and counter-offers ProtocolVersion::latestHandshake() otherwise (Builder::setProtocolVersion() pins it to exactly one), and the client fails the handshake on a counter-offer it cannot speak rather than continuing on an unagreed revision. Adds Client::getProtocolVersion(), the 2026-07-28 revision, and the era helpers on ProtocolVersion — revisions from 2026-07-28 on have no initialize, so they are excluded from negotiation and from ProtocolVersionMiddleware's default supported set.
• Add sampling with tools support: sampling requests now accept tools and tool-choice preferences, messages support tool-use/tool-result content blocks and multiple content blocks, and clients can advertise the sampling.context and sampling.tools capabilities. Adds ClientGateway::supportsSamplingTools() / supportsSamplingContext() to check the sub-capabilities before sending, and CreateSamplingMessageRequest::validateToolFlow(), which asserts the spec's tool-flow rules across the whole message list — the client handler rejects a violating request with -32602 instead of leaving it unanswered, and the gateway refuses to send one.
• [BC Break] SamplingMessage::$content and CreateSamplingMessageResult::$content may now hold a list of content blocks instead of a single one, so code reading them directly must handle both. Use the new getContentBlocks() on either class to always get a list.
• [BC Break] CreateSamplingMessageResult now rejects any role other than assistant, and rejects empty content, as the specification requires.

0.7.0

• Add client-side elicitation support: ElicitationCallbackInterface, ElicitationRequestHandler, and ElicitationException let clients respond to server elicitation requests.
• Defer element loading to the first registry read: loaders now run at request time (first has*/get* call) instead of eagerly at Builder::build(), fixing empty registries under persistent runtimes (e.g. FrankenPHP worker mode) where a loader's data source is not ready at build time. Adds Builder::setLazyLoading() (default on), a public Registry::load(), and an optional LoaderInterface constructor argument on Registry.
• [BC Break] Element loading is lazy by default: loader failures now surface on the first request rather than at Builder::build(), and initialize advertises capabilities from the configured sources rather than the loaded registry. Call Builder::setLazyLoading(false) to restore eager build-time loading.
• Allow [$instance, 'methodName'] as an element handler in Builder::addTool(), addResource(), addResourceTemplate(), and addPrompt(). Unblocks handlers with constructor dependencies that the container-less new $className() fallback cannot build.
• Always emit an items schema for array tool parameters: untyped arrays get items: {} and nullable typed arrays (e.g. string[]|null) keep their element type. Fixes strict clients rejecting tools with "array type must have items" (#151).
• Harden JSON-RPC input parsing: single-message vs batch is now decided from the decoded JSON type (object → single, list array → batch) instead of the raw first byte. Scalars, empty payloads, and non-object batch elements are surfaced as InvalidInputMessageException entries instead of triggering warnings or a TypeError.
• Add maxBatchSize (default 100) to MessageFactory — oversized JSON-RPC batches are rejected before any message is constructed, guarding against amplification.
• Add maxBodyBytes (default 4 MiB) to StreamableHttpTransport — POST bodies exceeding the cap are rejected with 413. Unknown-size/chunked bodies are read incrementally and stopped at the cap so they cannot exhaust memory.
• Reject malformed Mcp-Session-Id headers with a 400 response: a repeated header or a value that is not a valid UUID is now rejected up front instead of surfacing as an uncaught Uuid::fromString() error.
• Extract RFC 9728 metadata serving into ProtectedResourceMetadataHandler, a transport-neutral PSR-15 RequestHandlerInterface that can be mounted directly as a Symfony/Laravel controller; ProtectedResourceMetadataMiddleware now delegates to it (no BC break).

0.6.0

• Add Builder::add(Tool|ResourceDefinition|ResourceTemplate|Prompt $definition, ElementHandlerInterface $handler) for explicit registration of elements whose schema is only known at runtime.
• Add handler interfaces ToolHandlerInterface, ResourceHandlerInterface, ResourceTemplateHandlerInterface, PromptHandlerInterface, and the ElementHandlerInterface marker.
• [BC Break] Renamed Mcp\Schema\Resource to Mcp\Schema\ResourceDefinition. No alias.
• [BC Break] Renamed Mcp\Capability\Registry\Loader\ArrayLoader to Mcp\Capability\Registry\Loader\ReflectedElementLoader.
• [BC Break] Bump default protocol version to 2025-11-25
• Add support for MCP Apps extension in schema and server
• Add extensions to ServerCapabilities and ClientCapabilities and Builder::enableExtension()
• Allow overriding the default name pattern for Discovery
• Add configurable session garbage collection (gcProbability/gcDivisor)
• Add optional title field to ResourceDefinition and ResourceTemplate for MCP spec compliance
• Add ChainLoader to compose multiple LoaderInterface implementations via explicit ordering.
• Add RegistryInterface::unregisterTool(), unregisterResource(), unregisterResourceTemplate(), unregisterPrompt() — idempotent removals.
• Add RegistryInterface::hasTool(), hasResource(), hasResourceTemplate(), hasPrompt() — by-name existence checks.
• DiscoveryLoader now refreshes only its own previously written entries; manual registrations (via Builder::addTool() etc. or runtime $registry->registerTool() calls) survive rediscovery, and a same-name manual registration takes precedence over discovery on collision.
• [BC Break] Removed ElementReference::$isManual public property and the bool $isManual parameter from all *Reference constructors. Origin tracking is no longer carried on the element; manual-over-discovered precedence is encoded by loader execution order.
• [BC Break] RegistryInterface::registerTool(), registerResource(), registerResourceTemplate(), registerPrompt() lost their trailing bool $isManual = false parameter. Callers using positional arguments must drop the flag.
• [BC Break] Removed RegistryInterface::clear(), getDiscoveryState(), setDiscoveryState(). Rediscovery now goes through DiscoveryLoader::load() directly.
• Registry::register*() semantics changed to plain last-write-wins (overwrites silently) and the methods now return the stored *Reference. The previous "discovered registration is ignored when a manual one already exists" precedence rule still applies, but is now enforced by DiscoveryLoader via reference-identity tracking — and still emits a debug log when a discovery is skipped due to a conflicting registration.
• Add optional title parameter to Builder::addResource() and Builder::addResourceTemplate() for MCP spec compliance
• [BC Break] Builder::addResource() signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments must switch to named arguments.
• [BC Break] Builder::addResourceTemplate() signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments must switch to named arguments.
• Add CorsMiddleware, DnsRebindingProtectionMiddleware, and ProtocolVersionMiddleware for StreamableHttpTransport, composed automatically as the default stack via StreamableHttpTransport::defaultMiddleware()
• [BC BREAK] StreamableHttpTransport constructor: $corsHeaders parameter removed; CORS is now configured via CorsMiddleware. The $middleware parameter is nullable — null (or omitted) installs the default stack; [] disables all defaults. Default Access-Control-Allow-Origin is no longer set (was *).
• [BC Break] ResourceDefinition::__construct() signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments must switch to named arguments.
• [BC Break] ResourceTemplate::__construct() signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments must switch to named arguments.
• [BC Break] McpResource and McpResourceTemplate attribute signatures changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments must switch to named arguments.

• [BC Break] Builder::addPrompt() signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments for $description must switch to named arguments.
• Add optional title field to Tool and McpTool for MCP spec compliance
• [BC Break] Tool::__construct() signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $inputSchema. Callers using positional arguments must switch to named arguments or pass null for $title.
• [BC Break] McpTool attribute signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments for $description must switch to named arguments.
• [BC Break] Builder::addTool() signature changed — $title parameter added between $name and $description. Callers using positional arguments for $description must switch to named arguments.
