* feat!: implement SEP-2663 Tasks extension, removing the experimental 2025-11-25 tasks design
Reshape tasks from the experimental SEP-1319/1686 core-protocol feature into
the official io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks extension (SEP-2663):
Model:
- Re-model Task (statusMessage, ttlMs nullable, pollIntervalMs) and add
DetailedTask with status-discriminated payloads (inputRequests/result/error
inlined per spec)
- CreateTaskResult now flattens Task with resultType: "task";
add ResultType::TASK and CallToolResponse::Task
- Add tasks/update (UpdateTaskParams with MRTR InputResponses); tasks/get and
tasks/cancel reworked; remove tasks/list, tasks/result
- notifications/tasks now carries a full DetailedTask; removed from client
notifications (SEP-2260)
Capabilities:
- Remove core TasksCapability et al; tasks are declared via the extensions
map (enable_tasks() builders, supports_tasks() accessors)
- Remove tool-level execution.taskSupport and the _meta.task /
TaskMetadata / with_task() opt-in: task creation is server-directed and
gated on the per-request client capability
Runtime:
- Replace OperationProcessor with TaskManager: durable-before-response task
creation, input_required round-trips via tasks/update, cooperative
cancellation, TTL expiry
- Client peer helpers get_task/update_task/cancel_task
- Emit Mcp-Name routing header from params.taskId for tasks/* methods
(SEP-2243/2663)
Macros:
- Remove #[task_handler] and the tool execution() attribute
Tests/examples/docs updated; schema snapshots regenerated.
BREAKING CHANGE: the 2025-11-25 experimental tasks API is removed without a
compatibility shim. Clients that do not declare the tasks extension always
receive synchronous results.
* feat: gate tasks/* methods on the client tasks-extension capability (SEP-2663)
When the server advertises io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks but the client did
not declare it (per-request _meta clientCapabilities, or initialize-time
capabilities in session mode), tasks/get, tasks/update, and tasks/cancel now
return -32021 Missing Required Client Capability with the required extension
in the error data, instead of falling through to the handler's -32601
default. Servers that do not advertise the extension keep returning -32601.
Also add regression tests confirming that unknown taskIds yield -32602 and
that a legacy 2025-11-25 'task' param on tools/call is silently ignored.
* feat: pass SEP-2663 Tasks extension conformance suite
Conformance fixtures (conformance/src/bin/server.rs):
- Add the required fixture tools: greet (sync-only), slow_compute,
failing_job (task support: required), protocol_error_job, confirm_delete,
multi_input, and test_tool_with_task (MRTR -> task escalation), all backed
by TaskManager with server-directed task creation gated on the client's
tasks-extension capability
- Advertise io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks in server capabilities and wire
get_task/update_task/cancel_task handlers
- Task-required tools reject with -32021 when the client did not declare the
extension
SDK wire-shape fixes surfaced by the suite:
- Add resultType: "complete" to GetTaskResult and introduce TaskAckResult
so tasks/update and tasks/cancel acks carry the SEP-2322 discriminator
(spec: every non-CreateTaskResult response on the tasks surface is
resultType complete); dispatch now returns ServerResult::task_ack
- CreateTaskResult gets a strict deserializer requiring resultType: "task"
so it does not shadow task-shaped results in untagged unions
- Client update_task/cancel_task accept both TaskAckResult and EmptyResult
All 9 runnable Tasks extension server scenarios now pass (35/35 checks;
tasks-status-notifications remains upstream-skipped), so the corresponding
entries are removed from conformance/expected-failures-extensions.yaml.
2025-11-25 server suite (40/40), 2026-07-28 server suite (114/114), draft
client suite, and extensions client suite all pass their baselines.
* fix: address PR 1020 review feedback on DetailedTask schema and cooperative cancel
- DetailedTask's JsonSchema now derives from the actual flattened wire shape
(DetailedTaskWire: base Task + optional inputRequests/result/error) instead
of approximating with the base Task schema, so generated schemas for
GetTaskResult and notifications/tasks document the status-specific payload
fields. Golden message schemas regenerated.
- TaskManager::cancel_task no longer aborts the underlying future. It records
the observable cancelled state and acks immediately (spec's eventually
consistent semantics), but lets the operation keep running so it can observe
is_cancel_requested() or the error from a woken request_input() and perform
cleanup; any late result is discarded. New unit tests cover both the
cooperative-cleanup path and waking parked input requests.
* fix: make tasks/cancel truly cooperative per SEP-2663 (FEEDBACK_2)
- TaskManager::cancel_task no longer forces terminal 'cancelled'. It records
the cancellation intent, acks immediately, and wakes parked request_input
awaits, but the operation decides its own terminal state: a post-cancel
error settles as 'cancelled', while an operation that finishes its work
settles as 'completed' — per the spec, 'the task may still reach a
non-cancelled terminal status'.
- Add TaskContext::cancelled(), a watch-based await for use with
tokio::select! as the cooperative cancellation exit path.
- Correct the unsupported-notification method string from
'notifications/tasks/status' to 'notifications/tasks' and document that
task status notifications are not yet routable through subscriptions/listen
(SubscriptionFilter has no taskIds field; upstream check still skipped).
- Update conformance slow_compute fixture, task_demo example, and tests to
honor cancellation via ctx.cancelled(); lifecycle conformance still 8/8
(all 9 scenarios remain green, 35/35 checks).
* fix: sweep and evict expired tasks from TaskManager (FEEDBACK_3)
TTL handling previously only ran from get_task and only flipped overdue
non-terminal tasks to 'failed', never removing entries — an unbounded leak
for long-lived servers, and it made ttl_ms: None = 'unlimited retention'
meaningless since everything was retained forever.
- Rename expire_overdue to sweep_expired and run it from every entry point
(spawn, get_task, update_task, cancel_task).
- Track terminal_at on each entry; terminal tasks are evicted after being
retained for one further ttl_ms window past their terminal transition, so
well-behaved pollers can observe the final state before late tasks/get
calls return -32602 (spec: servers may delete expired tasks at any time,
and returning task-not-found for purged tasks is compliant behavior).
- ttl_ms: None entries are never evicted (spec: unlimited retention);
document the retention model on TaskManager, including that there is no
background sweeper.
- New tests: retention-window eviction, sweep of abandoned tasks via other
entry points, unlimited-TTL retention, and error-code assertions
(-32602) for unknown ids across get/update/cancel.
Reviewed the second feedback item (dedicated task-not-found error code)
against SEP-2663 §Protocol Errors and it is incorrect: the SEP explicitly
specifies -32602 (Invalid params) for invalid or nonexistent taskIds, which
is what unknown_task already returns. Kept -32602; strengthened tests to
assert the code.
* fix: address Copilot review feedback on PR #1020
- TaskManager: drop the JoinHandle as soon as the operation settles instead
of retaining it for the whole retention window, and only store it at spawn
time if the task is still non-terminal (avoids keeping a completed handle
that the completion path could never clear).
- Use RequestContext::client_capabilities() (which applies the initialize-time
fallback for session peers) instead of raw context.meta.client_capabilities()
in the task_demo example, the README snippet, and the test server — the
meta-only form would wrongly treat session-declared tasks clients as
unsupported.
All 9 Tasks extension conformance scenarios remain green (35/35 checks).
* fix: enforce SEP-2663 task-result gating in tools/call dispatch
A handler could return CallToolResponse::Task without checking whether the
request declared the io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks extension, sending a
CreateTaskResult to a client that cannot parse it. The SDK dispatch now
rejects that case with -32021 Missing Required Client Capability before the
response leaves the server, using RequestContext::client_capabilities()
(per-request _meta with initialize-time fallback).
Adds a regression test with a deliberately misbehaving handler that always
materializes a task; all Tasks extension conformance scenarios remain green
(35/35 checks).
* fix: align TTL boundary comparisons in sweep_expired
Copilot review: ttlMs: 0 never expired immediately because phase 1 used a
strict 'elapsed > ttl_ms' comparison, and phase 2 retained terminal tasks
at exactly the TTL boundary ('elapsed <= ttl_ms'). Treat elapsed >= ttl_ms
as expired in phase 1 and evict when elapsed >= ttl_ms in phase 2, so both
phases agree at the boundary and ttlMs: 0 expires/evicts on the first sweep.
* fix: strict TaskAckResult deserializer and TASK_REQUIRED_TOOLS consistency
- TaskAckResult carried only resultType (+ optional _meta) with a derived
Deserialize, so inside the untagged ServerResult union it greedily matched
any result object containing a resultType key, shadowing CustomResult and
losing data (verified with a probe). Replace with a strict deserializer:
deny_unknown_fields and require resultType == "complete". Regression
tests cover both the non-matching shapes and the genuine ack shape.
- Conformance fixtures: confirm_delete and multi_input rejected non-tasks
clients inline, contradicting the TASK_REQUIRED_TOOLS doc/constant. Move
them into TASK_REQUIRED_TOOLS (they park on in-task elicitation and have
no synchronous fallback) so the upfront -32021 gate is the single source
of truth, and drop the now-unreachable inline checks.
All 9 Tasks extension conformance scenarios remain green (35/35 checks).
* fix: let the operation decide its terminal state via TaskExit
After tasks/cancel, any operation error was coerced to terminal
'cancelled', masking real failures (e.g. an unrelated error landing just
after a late cancel request) and contradicting the documented 'operation
decides its own terminal state' contract.
Change TaskFuture's error type from McpError to a new TaskExit enum:
- TaskExit::Cancelled — an explicit cooperative-cancellation exit;
settles as terminal 'cancelled'.
- TaskExit::Error(McpError) — a real failure; settles as terminal
'failed' with the error inlined, even after tasks/cancel was received.
From<McpError> for TaskExit keeps '?' ergonomic in task bodies, and
request_input() now returns TaskExit directly (its wake-on-cancel path
yields TaskExit::Cancelled), so parked operations that propagate it with
'?' settle as 'cancelled' automatically.
Update the conformance fixtures, task_demo example, and tests; add a
regression test asserting a post-cancel unrelated error settles as
'failed' with its error payload preserved.
All 9 Tasks extension conformance scenarios remain green (35/35 checks).
* fix: allow TaskExit enum to be exhaustive
* fix: close spawn/shutdown race, sweep in running_task_count, clarify TTL retention docs
Addresses branch-review findings:
- spawn() raced with shutdown(): if shutdown drained the task map between
the entry insert and the JoinHandle store, the handle was dropped and the
operation kept running detached. If the entry is gone at store time, the
handle is now aborted instead.
- running_task_count() now runs the TTL sweep like every other entry point,
so it no longer reports overdue tasks as running (matching the documented
sweep-on-every-entry-point behavior). Regression test added.
- Document that terminal-task retention intentionally extends one ttl_ms
window past the terminal transition (observation grace period) beyond the
creation-based lifetime ttlMs advertises on the wire — compliant since
SEP-2663 allows deleting expired tasks at any time after the TTL.
* feat!: add MRTR behavior support
* feat: harden SEP-2322 MRTR support
* ci: diff public API only on features common to base and head
cargo public-api builds both revisions with the same feature set, so a
feature introduced (or removed) by a PR broke the build of the other
revision. Restrict the all-features diff to features present in both the
base and head revisions.

The example in the README uses "sum" for both `sum` and `sub`. I changed it to "difference". For consistency, I also updated the example code to use the same term.
1. Suppot revision 2025-03-26 data types
2. Support meta, progress tokne, and extensions in request/notification,
3. Remove `Message`, use `JsonRpcMessage` directly
The counter decrement in `get_value` was removed to prevent unintended changes to the counter state. Additionally, `get_prompt` was updated to parse and validate the `message` argument properly, ensuring better error handling and formatting.
