CI installed no Ruby toolchain and the suite ran no Ruby example, so
nothing under mcp-client-ruby or weather-server-ruby was exercised by a
green build. A dependency change there -- #177 removes the base64 gem
now that the anthropic gem declares it -- merges on the strength of a
check that never resolved its Gemfile.
The client is drivable without credentials: it connects before it looks
for ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and exits 0 when there is none, the same shape the
Python and TypeScript clients already rely on for their coverage.
The Ruby weather server stays uncovered. The mcp gem's server does not
emit the resultType field that protocol revision 2026-07-28 makes
mandatory, so the test client rejects its responses; that is a fix for
the gem rather than something an example can work around. The README
said the gem could not negotiate the revision at all, which stopped
being true at 1.1.0 -- it negotiates, then answers incompletely.
Ruby 3.4 rather than the 3.2.0 floor the anthropic gem declares: 3.2
reached end of life in March 2026, and a gem's floor says what it
tolerates, not what an example should tell people to run.
