MCP spec conformance: 8 requirements violated (via @hasmcp/mcp-spec-test) — spec 2026-07-28

Comienza con weather-server-python/weather.py y reproduce el informe usando @hasmcp/mcp-spec-test para la revisión de la especificación 2026-07-28. Compara el comportamiento compatible del ejemplo con los fallos indicados de server/discover, version-negotiation y tools/list, y confirma si este ejemplo está dirigido a esa revisión. Se considera terminado cuando se hayan resuelto los fallos de conformidad aplicables y la suite no informe de ninguna infracción relevante.

Running the black-box @hasmcp/mcp-spec-test conformance suite against the weather-server-python example in this repo (spec revision 2026-07-28), the server fails 8 conformance checks. The biggest cluster is that server/discover is not implemented at all (returns Method not found), which cascades into 22 other checks being skipped because the suite can't determine server capabilities without it. Separately, a version-less tools/list request is refused instead of being served on the default revision, and a stock official-SDK client gets an "invalid result" error trying to list tools. This may simply reflect that server/discover and strict version-negotiation are newer parts of the 2026-07-28 revision that this example server predates — flagging in case it's useful, and happy to have this closed if it's not applicable.

checked and conformant

server/discover

• the suite is reading a schema that matches the features it selected

Result envelope

• schema sanity: the envelope fields match the features selected

Official SDK interop

• the official SDK does not yet implement the newest revision
• a stock official-SDK client completes the handshake
• the handshake settles on a revision inside the supported window

subscriptions/listen

• schema sanity: SubscriptionsListenResult requires _meta and resultType

How to reproduce

With Docker:

docker pull hasmcp/mcp-spec-test:latest
docker run --rm hasmcp/mcp-spec-test -c "sh -c '[ -d /tmp/qr ] || git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/quickstart-resources /tmp/qr; cd /tmp/qr/weather-server-python && uv run weather.py'" --spec-version 2026-07-28

Without Docker (npx):

npx @hasmcp/mcp-spec-test@latest -c "sh -c '[ -d /tmp/qr ] || git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/quickstart-resources /tmp/qr; cd /tmp/qr/weather-server-python && uv run weather.py'" --spec-version 2026-07-28
