According to our compatibility promise, we can't break backward compatibility of the SDK API. However, sometimes we need to change the behavior of the SDK in a backward-incompatible way in order to fix bugs or security issues. In those cases we introduce temporary compatibility parameters, that can be used to opt-out of the new behavior. They are usually maintained for two minor release cycles and then removed.
The compatibility parameters are provided via the MCPGODEBUG environment
variable. The value of the variable is a comma-separated list of parameter
value assignments, e.g.:
MCPGODEBUG=parameter1=value1,parameter2=value2
Options listed below were added and will be removed in the 1.9.0 version of the SDK.
-
customresnotfounderrcodeadded. If set to1,ResourceNotFoundErrorwill use the custom error code-32002instead of the standard-32602(Invalid Params), restoring the previous behavior. The default behavior was changed to align with SEP-2164 and the JSON-RPC specification. -
allowsessionsinstatelessadded. If set to1, stateless streamable HTTP servers will read theMcp-Session-Idrequest header (or generate one viaGetSessionID), set it on response headers, and acceptDELETErequests, restoring the previous behavior. The default behavior was changed so that stateless servers ignore session IDs entirely and rejectDELETEwith 405.
Options listed below were added and will be removed in the 1.8.0 version of the SDK.
-
seterroroverwriteadded. If set to1,SetErrorwill always overwriteContentwith the error text, restoring the previous behavior. The default behavior was changed to preserve existingContentif it has already been populated. -
enableoriginverificationadded. If set to1, default (zero-value) cross-origin protection will be applied whenStreamableHTTPOptions.CrossOriginProtectionis nil, restoring the behavior from v1.4.1-v1.5.0. The default behavior was changed to not enable cross-origin protection. -
disablelocalhostprotectionremoval was postponed until 1.8.0, as it is now also used in the SSE transport.
Options below were removed:
-
jsonescaping, according to plan, -
disablecrossoriginprotection, it was replaced byenableoriginverificationafter the default was changed to not enable cross-origin protection.
Options listed below will be removed in the 1.6.0 version of the SDK.
disablecrossoriginprotectionadded. If set to1, newly added cross-origin protection will be disabled. The default behavior was changed to enable cross-origin protection.
Options listed below will be removed in the 1.6.0 version of the SDK.
-
jsonescapingadded. If set to1, JSON marshaling will preserve the previous behavior of escaping HTML characters in JSON strings. The default behavior was changed to not escape HTML characters, to be consistent with other SDKs. -
disablelocalhostprotectionadded. If set to1, newly added DNS rebinding protection will be disabled. The default behavior was changed to enable DNS rebinding protection. The protection can also be disabled by setting theDisableLocalhostProtectionfield in theStreamableHTTPOptionsorSSEOptionsstruct totrue, which is the recommended way to disable the protection long term. Removal of this option was postponed until 1.8.0.
