📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe server now supports the 2026-07-28 per-request MCP protocol through a modern adapter. It preserves legacy session handling and supports OAuth or OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel modes. Tests cover registration, metadata, progress, resources, authentication, and routing. ChangesModern MCP protocol support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Secure-tunnel mode may expose workspace tools directly without local authentication. Shutdown cleanup and workspace identity concerns also remain unresolved, so the PR should not merge without explicit resolution or acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Greptile SummaryThe PR adds MCP 2026-07-28 per-request support alongside the existing sessionful protocol on the authenticated
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge, with no concrete blocking or independently actionable non-blocking issue established by the changed code. The new routing and compatibility adapter preserve the existing registration surface and shared state, while the added tests directly cover modern request behavior and legacy coexistence.
|
| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| src/server.ts | Adds authenticated protocol classification, modern request dispatch, shared registration, and modern-handler cleanup while preserving the existing session transport. |
| src/mcp-modern-server.ts | Introduces a focused compatibility adapter that registers the existing tool and resource surface and forwards request context into legacy-shaped handlers. |
| src/mcp-modern-server.test.ts | Covers modern discovery, tool registration, request metadata, progress notifications, and resource reads through the adapter. |
| src/server.test.ts | Adds end-to-end coverage showing modern tool access and legacy initialization coexist on the authenticated endpoint. |
| package.json | Adds the MCP v2 server and Node packages and includes the modern adapter suite in the test command. |
| package-lock.json | Locks the new MCP v2 packages and their core dependency. |
| README.md | Documents that /mcp supports both sessionful clients and the 2026-07-28 per-request protocol. |

Enforce a local boundary for secure-tunnel mode.
When oauthRequired is false, /mcp skips all local bearer-token and resource validation. Because server.host is configurable, secure-tunnel mode can listen on a non-loopback interface and expose the MCP tools to direct unauthenticated requests.
Reject non-loopback bindings in this mode, or require an explicit network or proxy control that blocks direct access.

DevSpace currently serves the existing sessionful Streamable HTTP flow on /mcp. This adds support for the MCP 2026-07-28 per-request protocol on the same endpoint while preserving existing sessionful clients.
The modern path uses the official @modelcontextprotocol/server and @modelcontextprotocol/node packages. A small adapter reuses the existing DevSpace tool and resource registration instead of duplicating the tool surface, and request metadata continues through to existing handlers.
Verified with npm run typecheck, npm test, npm run build, and git diff --check. I also exercised the branch from a real ChatGPT MCP connection through the public endpoint: tool discovery, open_workspace/read/exec_command, repeated workspace reuse via request metadata, process-session polling/stdin, and tool-error recovery all succeeded. Legacy initialize/session coexistence is covered by the HTTP integration test.
