A stateful handler rejects such requests; since 1.8.0 it answers with CodeUnsupportedProtocolVersion (-32022) advertising only versions < 2026-07-28 so the client can renegotiate down, and logs a warning. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Treating the plaintext 400 as a proxy/body-format bug — it is a deliberate stateful-mode rejection. Other error fragments: - is only supported on stateless HTTP servers (set StreamableHTTPOptions.Stateless = true) - this server is stateful; set StreamableHTTPOptions.Stateless = true to accept it Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/e07f0c9d5abf509ac1e47abf27cfa539eeda64a5/mcp/streamable.go (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): Stateful handler rejects requests with 2026-07-28 metadata; logs the stateful warning and writes -32022 with legacy supported versions, or plaintext 400 when plaintextstatefulrejection=1. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/e07f0c9d5abf509ac1e47abf27cfa539eeda64a5/docs/mcpgodebug.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): 1.8.0 changed the stateful rejection from plaintext http.Error 400 to JSON-RPC -32022 with UnsupportedProtocolVersionData so client renegotiation can recover; MCPGODEBUG plaintextstatefulrejection=1 restores old behavior.
