This mirrors the 2026-07-28 spec guidance (GET/DELETE → 405, ignore Mcp-Session-Id/Last-Event-ID). Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Treating 405 on GET as a proxy misconfiguration — it is the SDK's intended response. - Assuming the 202 on legacy notifications means they were processed — strict endpoints drop them. Other error fragments: - Unsupported protocol version: 2025-06-18 - Bad Request: JSON-RPC batches are not supported by this endpoint - Bad Request: JSON-RPC responses cannot be posted to this endpoint - Bad Request: JSON-RPC batches may not contain requests for protocol revision 2026-07-28 or later Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/docs/serving/legacy-clients.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Default legacy:'stateless' answers legacy GET and DELETE with 405 Method not allowed.; legacy:'reject' returns 400 -32022 'Unsupported protocol version: 2025-06-18' with supported ['2026-07-28']; notifications 202 then dropped. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/7f7a94c22017e121a960e071bb50ec75e34450bd/packages/core-internal/src/shared/inboundClassification.ts (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): Source strings: 'Method not allowed.'
