Restore the v1 parse tolerance for `CallToolResult.content`: an inbound legacy-era `tools/call` result without `content` defaults to `[]` instead of failing validation. Deployed servers — accepted by SDK v1 for years — return `structuredContent`-only (or otherwise content-less) results, and the strict parse turned every such call into an `INVALID_RESULT` error before application code could run.

10

The silent-empty-success hazard the strictness guarded is preserved where it matters: the 2025 era's wire-seam schema refuses to default `content` for a body carrying another result family's vocabulary (`task`, `inputRequests`, `requestState` — the era is frozen, so the list is complete), and the 2026-era wire schemas stay strict — modern-revision servers have no legacy excuse. Task interop through an explicit result schema is untouched (including bodies that also stamp a foreign `resultType`), and the server-side authoring normalization refuses the same foreign-family vocabulary.
11
+
12
+
Server-side authoring is era-independent: a handler result without `content` (dynamic/JS callers — the TypeScript surface requires it) is normalized to `content: []` before era validation on every leg, reaching the wire spec-valid.
13
+
14

Conscious call: the nested sampling `ToolResultContentSchema` stays spec-strict — v1 had defaulted its `content` too, but it is params-side (tool results a caller authors into a sampling message), deliberately not restored.
The Streamable HTTP client transport no longer attaches a session ID to a POST containing an `initialize` request — a new session starts "without a session ID attached" (2025-11-25 transports §Session Management) — and it only captures the `mcp-session-id` response header from a successful initialize response, since the spec assigns the session ID "at initialization time … on the HTTP response containing the InitializeResult". Previously the transport stored the header from any response, so a legacy server answering a protocol-version probe with an error that happened to carry a session ID would poison the fallback initialize, which then went out with a session ID it should not have had. A stale session ID from a previous connection is likewise no longer leaked onto the initialize handshake, and a successful initialize response that carries no session ID now clears any stale ID the transport was holding — clients include only an ID "returned by the server during initialization", so an ID the server never returned this session is outside the session model. Ignoring `mcp-session-id` headers mid-session is the complement of the spec's one actual rotation mechanism: a server that wants a new session terminates the old one (it "MAY terminate the session at any time") and answers 404, after which the client "MUST start a new session by sending a new InitializeRequest without a session ID attached". Rotation exists as session replacement via 404 + re-initialize, never as a header swap on a live session, so a server that rotates per the spec's own flow is handled correctly by this transport.
Construct the default Ajv validation engine lazily on first validation. Creating a `Client` or `Server` no longer pays the ajv + ajv-formats instantiation cost at startup when no JSON Schema validation ever runs.
Build protocol-revision wire schemas lazily on first validation instead of at import. Each revision's schema set is now constructed by a module-level memoized factory, so importing the client or server package no longer pays the construction cost of both frozen wire-schema graphs up front. Method membership in the revision registries stays static, the schemas themselves are unchanged, and registry lookups keep returning reference-identical schema objects.
Move the schema source modules (spec schemas, OAuth schemas, protocol constants) into `@modelcontextprotocol/core` and resolve them from there as a regular runtime dependency instead of bundling a private copy into each package. An application importing more than one of the packages now evaluates a single shared schema graph with shared object identity. `@modelcontextprotocol/core` gains a `./internal` subpath (SDK-internal contract; may change in any release) and the four packages now version together.

The builder converts it to MCP's restricted form-elicitation JSON Schema, while the same schema can validate and type the response through `acceptedContent()` on handler re-entry. Zod formats mapping to `email`, `uri`, `date`, and `date-time` are supported. Shapes the restricted schema cannot express reject before anything is sent — nested objects, `.regex()` and customized zod format patterns, exclusive number bounds (`.positive()`/`.gt()`), literal unions (use `z.enum` or `z.literal(['a', 'b'])`), and non-spec root keywords like `z.strictObject()`'s `additionalProperties`.

JSDoc `@example` tags should pull type-checked code from companion `.examples.ts` files (e.g., `client.ts` → `client.examples.ts`). Use `` ```ts source="./file.examples.ts#regionName" `` fences referencing `//#region regionName` blocks; region names follow `exportedName_variant` or `ClassName_methodName_variant` pattern (e.g., `applyMiddlewares_basicUsage`, `Client_connect_basicUsage`). For whole-file inclusion (any file type), omit the `#regionName`.

`@modelcontextprotocol/server` and `@modelcontextprotocol/client` keep a Zod-free public surface, but they resolve their shared schema graph from this package at runtime, so it already arrives transitively in your tree.
