Description

When users add tools via AddTool or AddSessionTool, implicitly set the tools capability. If the user has not already called WithToolCapabilities, then default listChanged to true, but honor any existing value.

This mimics the behavior of the official typescript sdk, which registers tools.listChanged: true when the user adds a tool to the MCP server.

See the discussion in #290 for more context.

Additional Information

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability when adding tools or session tools by ensuring tool capabilities are always properly initialized.
  • Tests
    • Added new tests to verify correct initialization and behavior of tool capabilities under different server configurations.

When users add tools via AddTool or AddSessionTool, implicitly set the
tools capability.  If the user has not already called
WithToolCapabilities, then default listChanged to true, but honor any
existing value.

This mimics the behavior of the official typescript sdk, which registers
`tools.listChanged: true` when the user adds a tool to the MCP server.

Walkthrough

This change introduces an internal method to the MCPServer that ensures the server's tool capabilities are initialized before tools are added, affecting both global tool addition and session-specific tool addition. New tests are included to verify the correct initialization and state of the tool capability under various server configuration options.

Changes

Files/Group Change Summary
server/server.go, server/session.go Added implicitlyRegisterToolCapabilities to MCPServer and updated AddTools and AddSessionTools to call this method.
server/server_test.go Added TestMCPServer_ToolCapabilitiesBehavior to verify tool capability initialization and listChanged flag behavior.
server/session_test.go Added TestMCPServer_SessionToolCapabilitiesBehavior to test session tool capability initialization and flag state.

server/server.go (2)

414-432: Good implementation of capabilities initialization with proper concurrency handling.

The implementation properly handles concurrency with RLock/RUnlock pattern and only escalates to a full Lock when needed. The method ensures the tools capability is initialized with listChanged: true by default, aligning with the behavior mentioned in the PR description.


435-437: LGTM - Ensuring capabilities are registered before adding tools.

Adding the call to implicitlyRegisterToolCapabilities() at the beginning of AddTools ensures the tools capability is always initialized before tools are added, even if the user didn't explicitly call WithToolCapabilities.

server/session.go (1)

227-228: Good consistency between server and session tool registration.

Adding the call to implicitlyRegisterToolCapabilities() in AddSessionTools ensures consistent behavior between server-wide and session-specific tools.

server/server_test.go (1)

1628-1669: Good test coverage for the new implicit capability registration.

The test thoroughly verifies the behavior of implicitlyRegisterToolCapabilities for both scenarios:

  1. When no tool capabilities are provided, listChanged defaults to true
  2. When explicitly set with WithToolCapabilities(false), the value remains false

This ensures the implementation respects both implicit defaults and explicit configuration.

server/session_test.go (1)

806-860: Good complementary test for session tool capabilities.

This test complements the server test by verifying the same behavior in the context of session tools. It confirms that the implicit capability registration works consistently across both regular and session tools.
