[Client][Server] Add Roots support (#395)
* [Client][Server] Add Roots support

Wire up the MCP "roots" capability on both sides:

Client (php-sdk as client):
- RootsCallbackInterface + ListRootsRequestHandler answer server roots/list
  requests, mirroring the Sampling handler.
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() emits notifications/roots/list_changed.

Server (php-sdk as server):
- ClientGateway::listRoots() requests the client's roots, and
  supportsRoots() reports whether the client advertised the capability,
  normalizing the stored capabilities to an array so an empty
  capabilities object (\stdClass) doesn't cause a TypeError.
- Add ListRootsResult::fromArray() (used by listRoots()).
- ListRootsRequestHandler forwards RootsException messages to the server
  (new Mcp\Exception\RootsException), mirroring SamplingRequestHandler.
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() throws when the client did not advertise
  the roots.listChanged capability.

Examples, docs and tests:
- examples/README/docs advertise
  `new ClientCapabilities(roots: true, rootsListChanged: true)` before
  sending notifications/roots/list_changed.
- CHANGELOG entry for Roots (unreleased 0.7.0 section at the time).
- Unit tests for capability serialization/round-trip, sendRootsListChanged
  gating, and RootsException message forwarding.

* [Client][Server] Address review: schema validation, changelog section, connection guard, working example

Responds to chr-hertel's review of the Roots support:

- ListRootsResult::fromArray() rejects non-array root elements instead of
  accepting malformed entries silently.
- CHANGELOG entry moved to the next unreleased section as the release
  train advanced past it (0.7.0 -> 0.8.0).
- Client::sendRootsListChanged() went straight to
  Protocol::sendNotification(), which sends via
  `$this->transport?->send()` -- on a client that is not connected the
  notification was silently dropped. It now throws a ConnectionException
  like sendRequest() does.
- The stdio example only advertised the roots capability, so the
  roots/list handler never actually ran. The client-communication demo
  server gets an `inspect_workspace_roots` tool that calls
  ClientGateway::supportsRoots()/listRoots(); the example calls it, so
  the server actually issues roots/list and the client answers it.
  Dropped the try/catch wrapper from the example.
- ClientTest's connected-client mock now goes through setState() so
  isConnected() reflects a real handshake instead of a stubbed flag.

MCP SDK Examples

This directory contains various examples of how to use the PHP MCP SDK.

You can run the examples with the dependencies already installed in the root directory of the SDK. The bootstrapping of the example will choose the used transport based on the SAPI you use.

For running an example, you execute the server.php like this:

# For using the STDIO transport:
php examples/server/discovery-calculator/server.php

# For using the Streamable HTTP transport:
php -S localhost:8000 examples/server/discovery-userprofile/server.php

You will see debug outputs to help you understand what is happening.

Run with Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector php examples/server/discovery-calculator/server.php

Debugging

You can enable debug output by setting the DEBUG environment variable to 1, and additionally log to a file by setting the FILE_LOG environment variable to 1 as well. A dev.log file gets written within the example's directory.

With the Inspector you can set the environment variables like this:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector -e DEBUG=1 -e FILE_LOG=1 php examples/server/discovery-calculator/server.php
