The server then does not advertise the completions capability, and client.complete() fails with -32601 Method not found. The reported environments are main at 8aabbdce (zod 4.3.6, Node 24.19.0) and published 2.3.0 (zod 4.6.5), with v1 1.32.0 also reported. This is an external report with no KFA reproduction. Source: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/issues/2949\n\nReported behavior: According to the issue author, completable(z.string(), cb).describe('Language') yields no completion, while completable(z.string().describe('Language'), cb) works. The author also reports the same loss with .min(1), .default('x'), .nullable() and .meta({}); only the .describe() case is given as code. The author says .optional() is the only method that works after completable(), and that order matters: completable(z.string(), cb).optional().describe('x') works, while completable(z.string(), cb).describe('x').optional() does not. Source: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/issues/2949\n\nCause status: The author's hypothesis is that completable() marks the schema instance it receives, that chained Zod methods return new instances without the mark, and that the mcp.ts lookup unwraps only one outer optional. A later commenter says they confirmed the behavior on current main. They point to completable.ts lines 51-58 and mcp.ts line 851. This is a non-maintainer source reading, not a maintainer-confirmed cause. Source: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/issues/2949#issuecomment-5982938199\n\nMaintainer and fix status: The supplied content shows no maintainer response. The issue is open, and no fix commit or release is shown. The commenter only suggests directions: re-attach the marker on chained results, or make the lookup see through wrappers. The author also notes that the migration guide advises .optional() after completable() and that the limitation is not documented. They offer a docs PR and mention #1474 as a related change that would remove the problem. Source: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/issues/2949\n\nExplicit examples in the report (reported by the issue author, not verified by KFA): working are completable(z.string().describe('Language'), cb) and completable(z.string(), cb).optional().describe('x'). Losing completion are completable(z.string(), cb).describe('Language') and completable(z.string(), cb).describe('x').optional(). The author's prose, without code, says plain .optional() on the completable() result works and that .min(1), .default('x'), .nullable() and .meta({}) lose completion. The inner-schema form was shown working only for .describe(); it was not reported for .min, .default, .nullable or .meta. No general workaround or fix is confirmed.\n\nLimitations: Everything above is external-report evidence. KFA did not reproduce it, and the versions are as stated by the reporters.
