Fix status: released_fix (fixed in go-sdk v1.8.0 (PR #1193, merged 2026-08-25)) Workaround (not a fix): For clients that have not shipped the fix, bridge the remote server through a stdio proxy (ha-mcp docs use fastmcp-remote), or have the server not advertise list-changed/subscription support. Misleading approaches: - Treating it as an auth/session expiry problem on the server — the server is stateless and never issued a session ID - Manual curl initialize/tools/list succeeds, which makes the server look healthy Limitations: - Clients embedding older go-sdk (Antigravity per ha-mcp docs) remain affected until they ship the upgrade Unknowns: - Exact Crush release that picked up go-sdk 1.8.0 Other error fragments: - sending "subscriptions/listen": failed to connect (session ID: ): session not found Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk/pull/1193 (github_issue, 2026-08-25, released_fix): PR 'mcp: tolerate 404 on subscriptions/listen in stateless mode' makes checkResponse return ErrSessionMissing only when a session ID exists and wraps listen failures with ErrRejected so the transport survives. - https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/issues/3129 (github_issue, 2026-08-20, reported_symptom): Crush 0.88.1-0.90.0 fail against the Copilot-hosted GitHub MCP server with the subscriptions/listen session-not-found error while curl initialize/tools/list works. - https://github.com/homeassistant-ai/ha-mcp/pull/2549 (github_issue, unknown, documented_workaround): ha-mcp docs note Antigravity's bundled Go client (pre go-sdk v1.8.0) sends subscriptions/listen despite server/discover advertising no list-changed support and misreads the spec 404/-32601 as lost session; recommends fastmcp-remote stdio bridge.
