Problem

Clients that speak only MCP 2026-07-28 cannot use T3's /mcp. They open with server/discover, and T3 answers HTTP 400, so they get none of T3's tools. #16067 reports this for Codex 0.160, and its comments report the same for Claude Code. I hit it with Broods, which pins 2026-07-28 with no fallback. The transport offers only McpProtocol.v2025_06_18.

Change

Offer McpProtocol.v2026_07_28 alongside v2025_06_18 in layerMcpTransport. Effect 4.0.5 already ships the adapter. v2025_06_18 stays first, and Effect uses the first protocol as the fallback for unknown initialize versions, so existing clients keep exactly their current behavior. Auth is unchanged: the bearer middleware runs before negotiation, and T3's caller sessionId is the OAuth grant, not an MCP session, so the stateless revision needs nothing else.

Scope and approval

Fixes #16067. That issue has no triage label yet, so I'm submitting this under the small, focused fix exception: one protocol list entry using an adapter the pinned Effect already includes, with no change to tools, auth or access. It does not cover the stdio ACP bridge (AcpMcpStdioBridge.ts), which also pins 2025-06-18. That is a separate path. It also overlaps #18490, which adds 2025-11-25 and leaves 2026-07-28 out of scope. The two compose.

Verification

  • New test in McpHttpServer.test.ts: on main, server/discover with mcp-protocol-version: 2026-07-28 returns 400. With the fix it returns 200, and supportedVersions includes 2026-07-28 and 2025-06-18. An initialize offering an unknown version still negotiates 2025-06-18.
  • vp test run src/mcp/McpHttpServer.test.ts: 29 passed.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages) and tests (2 files) pass.
  • Runtime check: I ran node src/bin.ts serve on an isolated --base-dir, signed in through /oauth/mcp (register, pairing code, read-only approval, token exchange), then connected with @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.4.0 pinned to 2026-07-28.
    • Before: UnsupportedProtocolVersionError: Unsupported protocol version '2026-07-28', data: { supported: [ '2025-06-18' ] }.
    • After: negotiated 2026-07-28, tools/list returned 68 tools, and tools/call orchestrator_capabilities returned isError = false.
  • Not checked: Codex 0.160 itself, subscriptions under 2026-07-28 (allowSubscriptions is left at its default), desktop and mobile surfaces. Those are unaffected, since this is server-only.

Walkthrough

The HTTP MCP transport now advertises protocol versions 2025-06-18 and 2026-07-28. A test checks discovery and verifies that initialization with an unsupported version falls back to 2025-06-18.

Changes: MCP protocol negotiation

Layer / File(s)Summary
Protocol advertisement and negotiation test
apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.test.ts		The transport advertises both protocol versions, with 2025-06-18 first. The test checks discovery, tool listing, and fallback to 2025-06-18 for an unsupported version.

Explanation

Only one active direct linked issue applies: #16067 (open bug). Its coding requirement is that /mcp answers server/discover for MCP 2026-07-28 without HTTP 400, so Codex can connect to t3-code and call its tools. The whole-PR diff (merge base to head) changes one production line in apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.ts. layerMcpTransport now lists [McpProtocol.v2025_06_18, McpProtocol.v2026_07_28], with v2025_06_18 first as the fallback. This removes the single-protocol restriction that caused the 400. The whole-PR test diff adds one test, answers 2026-07-28 discovery and keeps 2025-06-18 as the initialize fallback, in McpHttpServer.test.ts. The test expects server/discover with 2026-07-28 to return 200 with supportedVersions containing both versions. It also expects tools/list to return the registered probe tool, and an initialize with 2099-01-01 to negotiate 2025-06-18. The author reports this test passing with the fix and returning 400 on main. This review did not re-run the test. It also did not inspect the installed Effect source for the v2026_07_28 adapter. Adapter presence rests on the test assertion and the author's runtime check with @modelcontextprotocol/client 2.4.0. Codex 0.160 was not run here, so the end-to-end Codex result is not verified. The server-side requirement is met by the code and test. Note: the incremental diff from the previous reviewed head shows many unrelated changes. These come from the merged base, not from this PR. The whole-PR diff governs and shows only the protocol change and the new test.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff (merge base 61c3794 to head 6aaf91a) contains two changed files. The production change in apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.ts edits only the protocols array and adds a one-line comment that explains the fallback order. The test change in apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.test.ts adds one test that covers this protocol change. The whole-PR diff does not change tools, auth middleware, access rules, or the stdio ACP bridge (AcpMcpStdioBridge.ts). The PR excludes that bridge explicitly, and it is not modified. The incremental diff from the previous reviewed head includes auth, registration, and layer changes. The whole-PR diff shows those changes already exist on the merge base. They are not changes introduced by this PR, so they are not out of scope for it. No unrelated change in the whole-PR diff was found.

Add a successful 2026 tool request to the discovery test.

The new test checks server/discover and the 2025-06-18 initialize fallback. It never sends a 2026 tools/list or tools/call. The existing tool-request tests use 2025-06-18 initialization and session headers, so no test exercises the 2026 tool path this PR enables. A regression that accepts 2026 discovery but rejects 2026 tool requests would pass the suite.

Add a stateless 2026 tools/list request after the discovery assertions, in the same test. Send it through the existing httpClient, which applies the bearer token. Use mcp-protocol-version: 2026-07-28 and the same _meta protocol metadata that the discovery request sends. Do not send initialize or mcp-session-id with this request.

Then assert:

  • the response status is 200;
  • the JSON-RPC body has no error member;
  • result.tools contains a known tool name.

A status check alone does not show success. A JSON-RPC error can arrive in a response body with HTTP 200, and the current assertions would not detect it.

merge fixup at 6aaf91a5cb

merged current main (61c3794c32) without rebasing. resolved the transport conflict by keeping main's registration API and the 2026 adapter with the legacy fallback first. updated the existing discovery test for that API and added stateless authenticated 2026 tool listing, including protocol metadata and a known-tool assertion, addressing the review coverage finding. production scope remains the same protocol-array change.

current-head verification: 30 focused mcp tests passed through blacksmith. vp run check:changed 61c3794c32b0eeebfac09add43e403618c65d2d7 passed formatting, lint, knip, graphql, typechecks for 3 packages, and 31 tests. oauth-authenticated runtime checks against the merged dev server passed: 2026 discovery advertises both versions; stateless tools/list returns 68 tools; orchestrator_capabilities returns http 200 without a protocol or tool error; unknown initialize versions fall back to 2025-06-18; missing and invalid credentials return 401. both independent code reviewers approved this head. the earlier full client/provider evidence below belongs to the original head and was not rerun in this fixup.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at 18e5ac6a326ad40f98b79f7c5222f527ba7c0a67 on a disposable linux vm. no code changes.

  • reproduced on github/main (e6e2ab05cc) in a separate worktree: authenticated server/discover with 2026-07-28 returns http 400, error -32022, supported versions ["2025-06-18"].
  • installed each checkout with vp i and ran one background dev server at a time. drove the actual web app with the repository's playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome. added real checkout projects through the ui and started real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns.
  • on the pr, completed oauth dynamic registration, browser read-only approval, and pkce token exchange. stateless 2026 discovery returns http 200 and both supported versions. tools/list returns 68 tools. orchestrator_capabilities and t3_project_list return http 200, no json-rpc error, and isError=false; the latter returns the project created through the app. requests include the required method/name headers and protocol metadata, with no initialize or mcp session id.
  • the real codex turn called both tools successfully and rendered their results in the web client. the proxy returned upstream 429 responses during this turn; provider recovery retried twice and the turn completed. codex also completed an mcp call on main, so this turn is a compatibility check, not proof that codex selected the new protocol.
  • nearby behavior: legacy initialization and tool listing still work; an unknown initialize version still selects 2025-06-18; missing and invalid credentials return 401; the read-only 2026 oauth grant rejects a project update with capability_denied.
  • blacksmith: 29 focused mcp tests passed. vp run check:changed 82b10d546c1041d8eff40425f076d61f608d518f passed format, lint, knip, graphql checks, typechecks for 3 packages, and 30 tests. existing github checks are green.
