## Motivation and Context
The MCP specification defines an optional `size` field on the `Resource`
type, added in spec revision 2025-06-18 and retained in 2025-11-25:
https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/server/resources
> The size of the raw resource content, in bytes (i.e., before base64
> encoding or any tokenization), if known. This can be used by Hosts to
> display file sizes and estimate context window usage.
`MCP::Resource` was missing this field, so servers had no way to declare a
resource's byte size. Without it, hosts cannot show file sizes or estimate
context window usage before reading the resource contents.
This aligns the Ruby SDK with the spec, matching the TypeScript SDK
(modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1574).
## How Has This Been Tested?
Added tests in `test/mcp/resource_test.rb`:
- `#to_h` omits `size` when nil
- `#to_h` includes `size` when present
- `#to_h` includes `size` when zero (distinguishes an unset size from a
0-byte resource)
The full unit suite and RuboCop pass locally.
## Breaking Changes
None. `size:` is a new optional keyword argument defaulting to `nil`, and it
is omitted from `#to_h` output when not set, so existing callers are unaffected.
## Motivation and Context
MCP 2025-11-25 spec defines a `_meta` general field on many types,
but the Ruby SDK only exposed it on `Tool` and `Prompt`.
To attach metadata (e.g. MCP Apps CSP hints on resource contents),
consumers had to subclass existing classes and override `to_h`.
Add a `meta:` keyword argument and `_meta` serialization to:
- `Resource::Contents`, `Resource::TextContents`, `Resource::BlobContents`
- `Resource`, `ResourceTemplate`
- `Content::Text`, `Content::Image`, `Content::Audio`, `Content::EmbeddedResource`
- `Tool::Response` (`CallToolResult`)
- `Prompt::Result` (`GetPromptResult`)
This aligns the Ruby SDK with the Python and TypeScript SDKs, which both expose `_meta` on these types.
Resolves#308.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Added unit tests for each updated class covering two patterns: `_meta` present
(asserts the value is reflected in `to_h[:_meta]`) and `_meta` omitted
(asserts no `:_meta` key in `to_h`, i.e., `.compact` behavior).
All existing tests continue to pass, and `rake rubocop` is clean.
## Breaking Changes
None. All new `meta:` parameters are optional keyword arguments defaulting to `nil`.
The `to_h` output stays backward-compatible because `nil` values are removed by the existing `.compact` call,
so existing callers require no changes.
## Motivation and Context
`lib/mcp.rb` currently declares all `require_relative` statements in one place.
As a result, Server and Client are both loaded, the stdio and Streamable HTTP
transports are both loaded, and Tool, Prompt, and Resource are all loaded,
regardless of which components are actually used.
These components are selected by the user depending on their use case,
so loading everything upfront is unnecessary.
Using `autoload` for selected constants defers loading until the constant
is actually referenced, so only the subsystems required by the user are loaded.
## How Has This Been Tested?
All existing tests pass unchanged.
## Breaking Change
None. This change only defers loading of unused components.
Previously, the `icons` parameter was always included in responses (as an empty array)
even when not configured. This differs from the response representation in MCP Ruby SDK 0.4.0.
Since `icons` is optional, it should be omitted from responses when unused to reduce
unnecessary context window usage.

This fix applies to `Tool#to_h`, `Prompt#to_h`, `Resource#to_h`, `ResourceTemplate#to_h`,
and `Server#server_info`.
It doesn't seem critical, but if there are no other issues, it would be good to cut 0.5.1 bugfix release soon.
