Bump ModelContextProtocol from 0.5.0-preview.1 to 1.2.0

[dependabot]

Updated ModelContextProtocol from 0.5.0-preview.1 to 1.2.0.

Release notes

Sourced from ModelContextProtocol's releases.

1.2.0

This release improves stateless HTTP transport defaults and documentation with a breaking behavioral change that we are considering as a server reliability fix and therefore not bumping the major version with this release. Legacy SSE endpoints are now disabled by default with a new HttpServerTransportOptions.EnableLegacySse property available to opt back into responding to the SSE endpoints; the property is marked as an [Obsolete] warning as we expect to remove this property in a future major version.

A warning-level [Obsolete] attribute is also applied to the RequestContext(McpServer, JsonRpcRequest) constructor, and the RequestContext(McpServer, JsonRpcRequest, TParams) overload should be used instead. This change contributes to fixes including DI scope lifetime in task-augmented tools, meta/progress combination failures, and outgoing message filter routing. We plan to remove the obsolete overload in a future major version.

Breaking Changes

Refer to the C# SDK Versioning documentation for details on versioning and breaking change policies.

1. Disable legacy SSE by default #​1468

MapMcp() no longer maps /sse and /message endpoints by default. Servers whose clients connect via SSE will find those endpoints removed.

Migrating from legacy SSE

If your clients connect to a /sse endpoint (e.g., https://my-server.example.com/sse), they were using the legacy SSE transport--if not running in Stateless mode. The /sse and /message endpoints are now disabled by default (EnableLegacySse is false and marked [Obsolete] with diagnostic MCP9004). Upgrading the server SDK without updating clients will break SSE connections.

Client-side migration. Change the client Endpoint from the /sse path to the root MCP endpoint — the same URL your server passes to MapMcp(). For example:

// Before (legacy SSE):
Endpoint = new Uri("https://my-server.example.com/sse")

// After (Streamable HTTP):
Endpoint = new Uri("https://my-server.example.com/")

With the default HttpTransportMode.AutoDetect transport mode, the client automatically tries Streamable HTTP first. You can also set TransportMode = HttpTransportMode.StreamableHttp explicitly if you know the server supports it.

Server-side migration. If you previously relied on /sse being mapped automatically, you now need EnableLegacySse = true (suppressing the MCP9004 warning) to keep serving those endpoints. The recommended path is to migrate all clients to Streamable HTTP and then remove EnableLegacySse.

Transition period. If some clients still need SSE while others have already migrated to Streamable HTTP, set EnableLegacySse = true with Stateless = false. Both transports are served simultaneously by MapMcp() — Streamable HTTP on the root endpoint and SSE on /sse and /message. Once all clients have migrated, remove EnableLegacySse and optionally switch to Stateless = true.

SSE (legacy — opt-in only)

Legacy SSE endpoints are now disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled via HttpServerTransportOptions.EnableLegacySse. This is the primary reason they are disabled — the SSE transport has no built-in HTTP-level backpressure.

The legacy SSE transport separates the request and response channels: clients POST JSON-RPC messages to /message and receive responses through a long-lived GET SSE stream on /sse. The POST endpoint returns 202 Accepted immediately after queuing the message — it does not wait for the handler to complete. This means there is no HTTP-level backpressure on handler concurrency, because each POST frees its connection immediately regardless of how long the handler runs.

Internally, handlers are dispatched with a fire-and-forget pattern. A client can send unlimited POST requests to /message while keeping the GET stream open, and each one spawns a concurrent handler with no built-in limit.

The GET stream does provide session lifetime bounds: handler cancellation tokens are linked to the GET request's HttpContext.RequestAborted, so when the client disconnects the SSE stream, all in-flight handlers are cancelled. This is similar to SignalR's connection-bound lifetime model — but unlike SignalR, there is no per-client concurrency limit like MaximumParallelInvocationsPerClient. The GET stream provides cleanup on disconnect, not rate-limiting during the connection.

2. Obsolete 2-arg RequestContext constructor #​1462

The RequestContext(McpServer, JsonRpcRequest) constructor is now [Obsolete] with diagnostic MCP9003, producing build warnings. The Params property is also changed from TParams? to TParams.

Migration: Use the new 3-arg constructor: new RequestContext(server, request, parameters).

0.9.0-preview.2

This release focuses on API surface consistency and correctness ahead of 1.0.0. Public collection properties are now typed as IList<T> instead of concrete List<T> or T[], and Root.Meta is aligned with the rest of the protocol DTOs by using JsonObject?. Other improvements include new experimental Extensions support for capabilities, missing ResourceLinkBlock properties, improved mimeType handling, and several documentation and test reliability fixes.

We plan to release the stable 1.0.0 release early in the week of February 23, 2026.

Breaking Changes

Refer to the C# SDK Versioning documentation for details on versioning and breaking change policies.

1. Replace concrete collection types with interfaces in public API surface #​1326

   • List<T> and T[] properties on ProtectedResourceMetadata, ToolResultContentBlock, ListTasksResult, and DynamicClientRegistrationResponse changed to IList<T>. Replace .Length with .Count and cast to List<T> if List<T>-specific members are needed.

2. Fix Root.Meta to use JsonObject instead of JsonElement #​1341

   • Root.Meta changed from JsonElement? to JsonObject?. Replace meta.Value.GetProperty("key").GetString() with (string?)meta["key"].

3. Make UrlElicitationRequiredErrorData.Elicitations consistent with other Protocol DTOs #​1335

   • Elicitations changed from IReadOnlyList<ElicitRequestParams> with init to IList<ElicitRequestParams> with set. Code using List<T> is unaffected since it implements both interfaces.

0.9.0-preview.1

The 0.9.0-preview.1 release includes multiple breaking changes focused on quality, extensibility, usability, and API consistency as we continue refining the SDK in preparation for a stable 1.0.0 release.

We plan to release the stable 1.0.0 release early in the week of February 23, 2026.

Breaking Changes

Refer to the C# SDK Versioning documentation for details on versioning and breaking change policies.

1. Use ReadOnlyMemory<byte> for binary data to eliminate UTF-16 transcoding #​1070

   • ImageContentBlock.Data, AudioContentBlock.Data, and BlobResourceContents.Blob changed from string to ReadOnlyMemory<byte>; FromImage/FromAudio renamed to FromBytes; BlobResourceContents.Data renamed to DecodedData
   • Migration: Use DecodedData for decoded bytes and FromBytes(...) factory methods

2. Split configuration of request and message filters #​1308

   • Migration: Wrap existing filter registration inside the new callback methods

3. Don't treat McpServerHandlers as an independent options type #​1313

   • McpServerHandlers no longer resolved via IOptions<McpServerHandlers>; handlers set directly on McpServerOptions.Handlers
   • Migration: Configure handlers through McpServerOptions directly

4. Add ISessionMigrationHandler #​1270

   • Stateful Streamable HTTP POST requests without a session ID are now rejected with 400 unless the message is an initialize request
