Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Remove the EnableLegacySse setting or disable stateless mode. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk/c40ee044fd415c70da5176c749cb5ef02f2b59f6/src/ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore/McpEndpointRouteBuilderExtensions.cs (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): MapMcp throws this InvalidOperationException when SessionMode is Stateless and EnableLegacySse is set. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk/c40ee044fd415c70da5176c749cb5ef02f2b59f6/docs/concepts/stateless/stateless.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Legacy /sse and /message are disabled by default; upgrading the server without updating clients breaks SSE connections; transition: EnableLegacySse=true with Stateful.
