Minor Changes

• #2929 40f8f4e Thanks @​claude! - requireBearerAuth and verifyBearerToken take a new optional expectedResource, which makes them accept only tokens issued for this resource (the token's audience). Set it to the value your authorization server puts into tokens meant for this server, usually the server's URL. When it is set, a token is accepted only if the verifier reports that value in AuthInfo.resource; the two are compared as strings, ignoring a fragment and one trailing slash. A token reported for another value, or for none, is answered 401 invalid_token with the usual WWW-Authenticate challenge. When it is not set, nothing changes. To use it, pass expectedResource and have verifyAccessToken fill AuthInfo.resource, for example from the aud claim. The option is declared on a new exported type, VerifyBearerTokenOptions, which extends BearerAuthOptions; BearerAuthOptions itself is unchanged. The Express requireBearerAuth passes the option through. With Express, @modelcontextprotocol/express has to be upgraded to this release as well: 2.0.1 does not pass the option on, so nothing is compared. Its options type does not have the option, so TypeScript reports an expectedResource written in a call to the 2.0.1 requireBearerAuth as an error.

• #2926 6d8dbc6 Thanks @​claude! - McpServer now accepts a maxToolInputElements option that limits the number of elements in tool-call arguments: the largest combined number of array elements and object members a single tools/call arguments payload may contain. It is off by default, so behavior is unchanged unless you set it. When it is set and a call exceeds it, that call is answered with an isError: true tool result that names the limit, before the input schema runs, and the server keeps serving. Set it above the largest arguments your tools legitimately accept; maxRequestBodySize remains the primary limit on request size. The value must be a number of at least 1, or Infinity for no limit; any other value is rejected at construction. The options type is exported as McpServerOptions.

• #2918 84804c2 Thanks @​claude! - A Server or McpServer now serves one connection at a time, and a Streamable HTTP server transport without sessions (sessionIdGenerator: undefined) serves one request. An app that uses one server object, or one stateless transport, for every HTTP request fails on the second request after this upgrade. Build the server and the transport per request instead.

  What keeps working without a change:

  • createMcpHandler(buildServer) and serveStdio(buildServer), where buildServer returns a new server on every call.
  • A handler that builds a new server and a new stateless transport for each request.
  • One server and one transport per session (a transport with a sessionIdGenerator).
  • Connecting a server again after close().
  • Client.

  What fails now, how it shows, and what to change:

  • One server object with a new stateless transport per request (const server = new McpServer(...) outside the handler, await server.connect(transport) inside it): the second HTTP request the process receives fails, and so does every later one. connect() rejects with an SdkError of code ALREADY_CONNECTED. If the handler closes the transport when the response ends, requests that arrive one after the other still work and a request that overlaps another one fails. Change: move new McpServer(...) and its registrations into the handler.
  • One stateless transport for every request (a transport built once with sessionIdGenerator: undefined): the second HTTP request fails. WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport.handleRequest() rejects with Stateless transport cannot be reused across requests. Create a new transport per request., and NodeStreamableHTTPServerTransport.handleRequest() answers 500. Change: build the server and the transport inside the handler and connect them there.
  • createMcpHandler(() => server) with a server built once: a request that arrives after the previous response has been read to its end still works. A request that arrives while another one is being served is answered 500 with the JSON-RPC error -32603 (Internal server error); the reason is reported only through the onerror option. Change: pass a function that builds the server, as in createMcpHandler(buildServer).
  • One server object for every session: the initialize request of the second session fails with ALREADY_CONNECTED. Change: build a server per session.

  What the caller sees when connect() or handleRequest() rejects depends on the host. Express 5, Fastify and Hono answer 500. A plain node:http listener without its own error handling gets an unhandled rejection, which ends the process.

  The README examples of @modelcontextprotocol/express, @modelcontextprotocol/fastify, @modelcontextprotocol/hono and @modelcontextprotocol/node, and the handler examples in the JSDoc of WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport and NodeStreamableHTTPServerTransport, now build a server and a transport per request.

• #2907 e55f9ac Thanks @​claude! - allowedOrigins and validateOriginHeader accept lowercase entries of the form <scheme>://*, such as moz-extension://* or chrome-extension://*, which admit every origin of that scheme. This lets a server admit MCP clients that run as a browser extension when the extension ID cannot be listed, as on Firefox, where it differs on every install. http://* and https://* are not honoured, and the defaults are unchanged.

Patch Changes

• #2599 5238fba Thanks @​freya0926! - A server can now serve, and a client can now call, tasks/get and tasks/cancel of the Tasks extension (SEP-2663) on a 2026-07-28 connection, when the handler is registered and the request is sent with an explicit schema. Every other method that a protocol revision removed is still refused. If one server factory serves both eras and such a handler is meant for 2025-era clients only, register it only when ctx.era === 'legacy'.

• #2107 2fc49ea Thanks @​pragnyanramtha! - prompts/get without arguments no longer fails with "Invalid arguments" when every argument of the prompt is optional. A missing arguments is now validated as {}, as it already is for tools/call, so a top-level .optional() or .default(...) on argsSchema no longer sees undefined.

• #2889 4d94e7b Thanks @​claude! - registerTool no longer converts tool schemas up front, so a server built per request stops converting every tool on every request. The warning about an invalid x-mcp-header declaration now appears each time tools are listed, not when the tool is registered.

• #2908 633dd3e Thanks @​claude! - The license field of the package manifests is now Apache-2.0; the LICENSE file shipped in each package carries the full terms, including the MIT text for earlier contributions. No code change.

• #2841 2237555 Thanks @​sharziki! - McpServer.registerPrompt() now types the callback correctly when no argsSchema is given: its one parameter is the server context. Before, reading ctx.mcpReq there was a type error although it worked at runtime. Prompts registered with an argsSchema are unchanged.

Required changes

Verdict: Changes requested

1. package.json:100 — Updating the server dependency to 2.3.0 leaves both server-version assertions in test/production-dependency-security.test.ts pinned to 2.0.0, causing npm test and the required verify job to fail; update the manifest and lockfile assertions to the intended version while preserving the security checks, then rerun CI.

Checks: All reported checks are terminal; verify failed in npm test at test/production-dependency-security.test.ts:28 with expected 2.0.0, received 2.3.0 (92 tests passed, 1 failed); subsequent build, package, publish, and audit steps did not run.
