## Motivation and Context
A JSON-RPC notification carries no id and must not receive any response.
When a client erroneously sent a notification-only method such as `notifications/cancelled` with an id,
the server replied with a successful `result: null`, which is neither a valid MCP result nor
a legal reply to a notification.
Such a message is now treated as a request for a method that has no request handler and rejected with
Method not found, matching the behavior of the TypeScript and Python SDKs. A well-formed notification
that omits the id continues to receive no response.
Fixes#434.
## How Has This Been Tested?
Added regression tests covering id-bearing `notifications/cancelled`, `notifications/initialized`,
and `notifications/progress`, a batch that mixes an id-bearing notification with other messages,
custom `notifications/*` methods, and the same case over the HTTP transport.
## Breaking Changes
None for spec-conformant clients, which never put an id on a notification.
The only behavioral change is that a malformed id-bearing notification now receives a Method not found error
instead of a spurious `result: null`.
## Motivation and Context
MCP spec (2025-11-25) defines Roots as a mechanism for clients to expose filesystem boundaries
(directories and files) to servers:
https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/client/roots
This enables servers to understand which parts of the filesystem they can operate on.
This adds support for the two roots protocol interactions:
- `roots/list` -- server-to-client request to retrieve the client's filesystem roots
- `notifications/roots/list_changed` -- client-to-server notification when roots change
`roots/list` is a one-to-one request between a server and a specific client,
so `list_roots` is exposed only at the session level
(`ServerSession#list_roots`), matching the Python SDK approach and aligning with PR #311 for sampling.
`Server#on_roots_list_changed` registers a callback for the client notification,
which is server-wide and does not require session scoping.
Also fixes `notifications/roots/list_changed` capability checking: as a client-originated notification,
it should not require server-side capability declaration.
## How Has This Been Tested?
New test file `test/mcp/server_roots_test.rb` with 8 test cases covering session-scoped `list_roots`,
capability validation and fallback, `on_roots_list_changed` callback registration, and client capability storage.
Updated `test/mcp/methods_test.rb` to reflect the corrected capability checks. All tests pass (`rake test`),
RuboCop is clean.
## Breaking Changes
None.
## Motivation and Context
The MCP specification (2025-11-25) defines elicitation as a server-to-client
request mechanism that allows servers to request user input during tool execution:
https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/client/elicitation
This aligns with the Python SDK, which also exposes separate methods for form and URL mode elicitation.
Three methods are added following the Python SDK's API design:
- `create_form_elicitation`: collects structured data via JSON Schema
- `create_url_elicitation`: directs users to external URLs for sensitive
interactions (OAuth, credentials, etc.)
- `notify_elicitation_complete`: notifies the client that a URL mode
interaction has completed
`URLElicitationRequiredError` (error code `-32042`) is defined as a subclass of `RequestHandlerError`
with its own `error_code` and `error_data` attributes. `JsonRpcHandler#handle_request_error` is
extended to check for these attributes so that MCP-specific error codes can be propagated without
embedding MCP knowledge in the generic JSON-RPC layer.
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Unit tests for `ServerSession` form/URL mode, capability checks, nil
capabilities, notification, and `URLElicitationRequiredError`
- `ServerContext` delegation tests for all three elicitation methods
- `JsonRpcHandler` tests for custom error code and fallback behavior
- `Methods` capability test for `NOTIFICATIONS_ELICITATION_COMPLETE`
- Conformance tests pass (40/40), including `tools-call-elicitation`,
`elicitation-sep1034-defaults`, and `elicitation-sep1330-enums`
- All tests pass (`rake test`), RuboCop is clean
- Verified form mode elicitation end-to-end with a sample MCP server
running in Claude Code
## Breaking Changes
None. This is a new feature addition.
