# Migration Guide: v1 to v2 This guide covers the breaking changes introduced in v2 of the MCP Python SDK and how to update your code. ## Overview Version 2 of the MCP Python SDK introduces several breaking changes to improve the API, align with the MCP specification, and provide better type safety. ## Breaking Changes ### `streamablehttp_client` removed The deprecated `streamablehttp_client` function has been removed. Use `streamable_http_client` instead. **Before (v1):** ```python from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client async with streamablehttp_client( url="http://localhost:8000/mcp", headers={"Authorization": "Bearer token"}, timeout=30, sse_read_timeout=300, auth=my_auth, ) as (read_stream, write_stream, get_session_id): ... ``` **After (v2):** ```python import httpx from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamable_http_client # Configure headers, timeout, and auth on the httpx.AsyncClient http_client = httpx.AsyncClient( headers={"Authorization": "Bearer token"}, timeout=httpx.Timeout(30, read=300), auth=my_auth, ) async with http_client: async with streamable_http_client( url="http://localhost:8000/mcp", http_client=http_client, ) as (read_stream, write_stream, get_session_id): ... ``` ### `StreamableHTTPTransport` parameters removed The `headers`, `timeout`, `sse_read_timeout`, and `auth` parameters have been removed from `StreamableHTTPTransport`. Configure these on the `httpx.AsyncClient` instead (see example above). ## Deprecations ## New Features ## Need Help? If you encounter issues during migration: 1. Check the [API Reference](api.md) for updated method signatures 2. Review the [examples](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/tree/main/examples) for updated usage patterns 3. Open an issue on [GitHub](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/issues) if you find a bug or need further assistance
