Recommended action: Upgrade clients to set Mcp-Method/Mcp-Name (non-ASCII names use the =?base64?...?= sentinel); ensure proxies forward them; add Mcp-Method, Mcp-Name and Mcp-Param-* to Access-Control-Allow-Headers.
Option: Send and allow the 2026-07-28 standard headers [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Clients, gateways and servers on Streamable HTTP 2026-07-28
Steps:
1. Client: set Mcp-Method=<method> on every POST and Mcp-Name=<params.name or params.uri> for tools/call, resources/read, prompts/get
2. Proxies: forward these headers unchanged
3. Server CORS: add Mcp-Method, Mcp-Name, Mcp-Param-* (and MCP-Protocol-Version) to Access-Control-Allow-Headers
Expected: No -32020; browser preflight passes
