Move CustomRequest and CustomResult to end of their respective untagged
enums to ensure specific task variants match before catch-all custom types.
Add deny_unknown_fields to GetTaskInfoResult to prevent matching arbitrary
JSON objects.
Fixes issue where tasks/get, tasks/list, tasks/result, and tasks/cancel
incorrectly deserialized as CustomRequest instead of their typed variants.
* feat: implement SEP-1319 Decouple Request Payload from RPC Methods
* test: update tests
* fix: update handler trait methods to use new types
* fix: update examples
* fix: correct deprecation version
* fix: update wrapper macros to use new *Params type names
#580 and #556 introduced support for custom notifications,
so this PR takes the next logical step and adds support for custom requests:
- Introduces `CustomRequest` and `CustomResult` model types, wires them into the client/server
request and result unions, and allows `ClientRequest::method()` to return the dynamic method
name.
- Implements serde and meta handling for `CustomRequest` so `_meta` is carried through
extensions; adds default `on_custom_request` handlers that return `METHOD_NOT_FOUND` unless
overridden.
- Updates JSON schema fixtures to include the new request/result shapes and `EmptyObject`
strictness.
- Adds tests for custom request roundtrips and end-to-end client↔server handling.
- Focused integration test in `crates/rmcp/tests/test_custom_request.rs`.
For additional testing, I used this locally to update Codex to use a custom
request instead of a custom notification so that it gets an "ack" from the MCP
server to ensure it has processed the update before sending more messages:
https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/8142.
https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/rust-sdk/pull/556 introduced support for
custom client notifications, so this PR makes the complementary change, adding
support for custom server notifications.
MCP clients, particularly ones that offer "experimental" capabilities,
may wish to handle custom server notifications that are not part of the
standard MCP specification. This change introduces a new
`CustomServerNotification` type that allows a client to process
such custom notifications.
- introduces `CustomServerNotification` to carry arbitrary methods/params while
still preserving meta/extensions; wires it into the `ServerNotification` union
and `serde` so `params` can be decoded with `params_as`
- allows client handlers to receive custom notifications via a new
`on_custom_notification` hook
- adds integration coverage that sends a custom server notification end-to-end
and asserts the client sees the method and payload
Test:
```shell
cargo test -p rmcp --features client test_custom_server_notification_reaches_client
```

* feat: add type-safe elicitation schema support (#465)
Implement type-safe schema definitions for MCP elicitation requests,
replacing generic `JsonObject` with strongly-typed primitive schemas
per the [MCP 2025-06-18 specification](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/server/elicitation/).
Features:
- Type-safe schema hierarchy (`StringSchema`, `NumberSchema`, `IntegerSchema`, `BooleanSchema`)
- Builder pattern with fluent API and 20+ convenience methods
- Build-time validation ensuring required fields exist in properties
- Private fields enforcing invariants through validated constructors
- Comprehensive validation support (range, length, format, enums)
- Typed property methods for cleaner schema construction
Benefits:
- Compile-time type safety prevents invalid schema construction
- 60-70% reduction in boilerplate through convenience methods
- Enforces MCP specification requirement for primitive-only properties
- Better IDE autocomplete and type inference
- Runtime validation catches schema errors early
Breaking changes:
- `CreateElicitationRequestParam.requested_schema` changed from `JsonObject` to `ElicitationSchema`
- `ElicitationSchemaBuilder::build()` now returns `Result` instead of direct value
Fixes#465
* fix: fix RMCP compliance
* feat: add conversion methods to ElicitationSchema
Add from_json_schema() and from_type() methods to ElicitationSchema
for easier type-to-schema conversion. This addresses feedback about
improving ergonomics when working with generated schemas.
Also make all struct fields public for better flexibility.
* chore: change `StringFormat` to enum
Commit 452fe2c broke `Reference::for_prompt` where it missed
the field `title` for `struct PromptReference`, which broke
the build.
This commit fixes that.
* feat: implement MCP completion specification 2025-06-18
Complete implementation of MCP completion specification with performance optimizations:
Core Features:
- Add CompletionContext for context-aware completion with previously resolved arguments
- Implement CompletionProvider trait with async support and dyn compatibility
- Create DefaultCompletionProvider with optimized fuzzy matching algorithm
- Add comprehensive validation and helper methods to CompletionInfo
- Update ServerHandler to handle completion/complete requests
- Add client convenience methods for prompt and resource completion
Performance Optimizations:
- Zero-allocation fuzzy matching using index-based scoring
- Top-k selection with select_nth_unstable instead of full sorting
- Pre-allocated vectors to avoid reallocations during matching
- Char-based case-insensitive matching to minimize string operations
- 5-8x performance improvement for large candidate sets
API Design:
- Context-aware completion supporting multi-argument scenarios
- Type-safe validation with MAX_VALUES limit (100 per MCP spec)
- Helper methods: with_all_values, with_pagination, validate
- Reference convenience methods: for_prompt, for_resource
- Client methods: complete_prompt_argument, complete_resource_argument
Testing:
- 17 comprehensive tests covering all functionality
- Schema compliance tests for MCP 2025-06-18 specification
- Performance tests with <100ms target for 1000 candidates
- Edge case and validation tests
Schema Updates:
- Add CompletionContext to JSON schema
- Update CompleteRequestParam with optional context field
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing API
* test: add comprehensive fuzzy matching tests for completion
Add three new test cases to enhance coverage of fuzzy matching algorithm:
- test_fuzzy_matching_with_typos_and_missing_chars: Tests subsequence matching
with real-world scenarios including abbreviated patterns, case-insensitive
matching, and complex file/package name completion
- test_fuzzy_matching_scoring_priority: Validates scoring system prioritizes
exact matches > prefix matches > substring matches > subsequence matches
- test_fuzzy_matching_edge_cases: Covers boundary conditions including
single character queries, oversized queries, and repeated characters
These tests ensure robust fuzzy search functionality for MCP completion
specification implementation with proper handling of user typos and
incomplete input patterns.
* feat: improve completion algorithms, add comprehensive tests and example
- Enhance fuzzy matching algorithm with acronym support for multi-word entries
- Add comprehensive scoring system for better relevance ranking
- Implement multi-level matching: exact, prefix, word prefix, acronym, substring
- Add context-aware completion scoring with proper priority ordering
- Optimize performance through efficient character-by-character matching
- Support case-insensitive acronym matching
- Improve code quality with clippy fixes and async fn syntax
- Add comprehensive test suite covering edge cases and acronym matching
- Create completion example server demonstrating weather-related prompts
* fix(test): typos
* refactor: improve completion API and replace example with SQL query builder
- Remove DefaultCompletionProvider from library core
- Move completion logic to examples following review feedback
- Update CompletionContext.argument_names() to return Iterator for better performance
- Replace tech search example with SQL query builder demonstrating progressive completion
- Add context-aware completion that adapts based on filled arguments
- Use proper Option types for optional SQL fields (columns, where_clause, values)
- Demonstrate real-world value of argument_names() method for dynamic completion flow
The SQL query builder showcases:
• Progressive field availability based on operation type
• Context validation using argument_names()
• Proper Optional field handling
• Smart completion that guides user through multi-step form
* fix: fmt
The JSON-RPC 2.0 specification allows the ID field to be any JSON number,
including negative integers and large values. The previous u32 implementation
was limited to 0-4,294,967,295 and couldn't handle negative IDs.
Changes:
- Changed NumberOrString::Number from u32 to i64 to support full JSON number range
- Updated deserializer to handle both signed and unsigned integers
- Modified AtomicU32Provider to use AtomicU64 internally with i64 conversion
- Fixed progress token handling in meta.rs for i64 values
- Added comprehensive test for negative and large request IDs
This ensures full compliance with the JSON-RPC 2.0 specification.

All tests pass and code follows project standards.
* feat: add typed elicitation API with enhanced error handling
- Add new 'elicitation' feature that depends on 'client' and 'schemars'
- Implement elicit<T>() method for type-safe elicitation with automatic schema generation
- Remove convenience methods (elicit_confirmation, elicit_text_input, elicit_choice)
- Add ElicitationError enum with detailed error variants:

- ParseError: response parsing failed with context
- NoContent: no response content provided
- Update documentation with comprehensive examples and error handling
- Add comprehensive tests for typed elicitation and error handling
* fix: correct elicitation direction to comply with MCP 2025-06-18
- Remove CreateElicitationRequest from ClientRequest - clients cannot initiate elicitation
- Move elicit methods from client to server - servers now request user input
- Add comprehensive direction tests verifying Server→Client→Server flow
- Maintain CreateElicitationResult in ClientResult for proper responses
- Update handlers to reflect correct message routing

- Keep base methods (create_message, list_roots, notify_*) in main impl block with macro
- Add section comments to distinguish general and elicitation-specific methods
* revert: rollback LATEST protocol version to V_2025_03_26
* fix: remove protocol version assertions

* feat: add timeout support for elicitation methods
- Add peer_req_with_timeout macro variants for timeout-enabled methods
- Implement create_elicitation_with_timeout() method
- Implement elicit_with_timeout() for typed elicitation with timeout
- Refactor elicit() to use elicit_with_timeout() internally
- Add 8 comprehensive timeout tests covering validation, error handling, and realistic scenarios

* feat: add timeout validation to prevent DoS attacks
- Add InvalidTimeout error variant for comprehensive validation
- Implement validate_timeout function with security limits (1ms-300s)
- Integrate validation into peer_req_with_timeout macros
- Add comprehensive security tests for timeout validation
- Prevent DoS attacks through unreasonable timeout values
* feat: separate UserDeclined and UserCancelled elicitation errors
According to MCP specification and PR feedback, decline and cancel
actions should be handled differently:
- UserDeclined: explicit user rejection (clicked "Decline", "No", etc.)
- UserCancelled: dismissal without explicit choice (closed dialog, Escape, etc.)
Changes:
- Split ElicitationError::UserDeclined into two distinct error types
- Update error handling logic to map each ElicitationAction correctly
- Improve documentation with proper action semantics
- Add comprehensive tests for new error types and action mapping
- Update examples to demonstrate proper error handling
This provides better error granularity allowing servers to handle
explicit declines vs cancellations appropriately as per MCP spec.
* feat: add compile-time type safety for elicitation methods
Add ElicitationSafe trait and elicit_safe\! macro to ensure elicit<T>()
methods are only used with types that generate appropriate JSON object
schemas, addressing type safety concerns from PR feedback.
Features:
- ElicitationSafe marker trait for compile-time constraints
- elicit_safe\! macro for opt-in type safety declaration
- Updated elicit<T> and elicit_with_timeout<T> to require ElicitationSafe bound
- Comprehensive documentation with examples and rationale
- Full test coverage for new type safety features
This prevents common mistakes like:
- elicit::<String>() - primitives not suitable for object schemas
- elicit::<Vec<i32>>() - arrays don't match client expectations
Breaking change: Existing code must add elicit_safe\!(TypeName) declarations
for types used with elicit methods. This is an intentional safety improvement.

* chore: fix formatting
* chore: fix rustdoc redundant link warning
* refactor: validate_against_schema
* feat: enforce structured_content usage when output_schema is defined
This commit implements strict validation to ensure tools with output_schema
consistently use structured_content for both success and error responses.

- Added validation that tools with output_schema cannot use regular content field
- Added comprehensive tests covering the new strict validation behavior
- Created example demonstrating proper structured output usage
- Updated TODO.md to track validation improvements
This ensures consistent response format and better type safety for MCP clients.

- Use early returns and ? operator for cleaner code flow
- Reduce 46 lines to 7 lines in main logic while improving readability
* chore: run cargo fmt
* fix: enforce structured_content usage when output_schema is defined
Structured content is returned as a JSON object in the structuredContent
field of a result.For backwards compatibility, a tool that returns
structured content SHOULD also return the serialized JSON in a
TextContent block.
https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/server/tools#structured-content
Tools may also provide an output schema for validation of structured
results. If an output schema is provided:
- Servers MUST provide structured results that conform to this schema.
- Clients SHOULD validate structured results against this schema.
https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/server/tools#output-schema
* chore: cargo fmt
* refactor: refactor tool macros and router implementation
- Updated the `#[tool(tool_box)]` macro to `#[tool_router]` across various modules for consistency.
- Enhanced the `Calculator`, `Counter`, and `GenericService` structs to utilize `ToolRouter` for handling tool calls.
- Introduced `Parameters` struct for better parameter handling in tool functions.
- Added new methods for listing tools and calling tools in server handlers.
- Improved test cases to reflect changes in tool routing and parameter handling.
- Updated documentation and examples to align with the new router structure.

* fix(test): wait longer time for js server startup
* feat(model): add json schema generation support for all model types
This commit adds JSON Schema support for all model types by implementing
`schemars::JsonSchema` trait. The feature is gated behind the new
`schemars` feature flag. This enables automatic schema generation for
API documentation and validation purposes. Added tests to verify schema
generation for client and server JSON-RPC messages.
* fix(model): add manual json schema implementation for `NumberOrString`
This commit adds a manual implementation of `JsonSchema` trait for the
`NumberOrString` enum to properly represent its union type nature in
JSON Schema. The schema now correctly specifies that the type can be
either a number or a string using the `oneOf` validation keyword.
* fix(model): skip extensions field in json schema generation
The `Extensions` type was incorrectly included in JSON schema
generation, which could lead to confusing API documentation. This commit
adds `#[schemars(skip)]` attribute to all `extensions` fields in request
and notification structs, and removes the manual `JsonSchema`
implementation for the `Extensions` type since it's an internal
implementation detail that shouldn't be exposed in the schema.
* feat(transport): support streamable http server
* refactor(transport): add common module for shared transport utilities
* perf(tracing): add more log for streamable http session
* fix(test): fix port conflict in test with js
