Walkthrough

This change updates the streamable HTTP server by adding a sessionRequestIDs map to track the last request ID per session. It modifies the heartbeat ping messages to include a unique, incrementing id field generated per session, and removes the session's request ID entry upon session termination.

Changes

Files/Paths Change Summary
server/streamable_http.go Added sessionRequestIDs sync.Map to StreamableHTTPServer; heartbeat ping messages now include unique incrementing id; added nextRequestID method; removed session entry on delete

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Ensure ping requests in streamable HTTP include a non-null, incrementing id field (Issue #351)
Update streamable HTTP session to track and increment request IDs for heartbeat messages (Issue #351)
Conform ping messages to JSON-RPC 2.0 format with explicit id field for compatibility with TypeScript clients (#351)

requestID will always be 1, because handleGet will always create a new session. for the same sessionID, the requestID should be unique.

From specification: The session ID SHOULD be globally unique ...

therefore, we consider sessions with the same sessionID to be the same session.

message := mcp.JSONRPCRequest{
JSONRPC: "2.0",
ID: mcp.NewRequestId(session.requestID.Add(1)),

sorry for my mistake, I have updated it to make requestID unique and monotonically increasing within each session. What do you think of this change ?

Hey, thank you for the quick fix on this issue. I have verified that it makes the clients I tested on happy.

However I am not sure this implementation is per the spec. In the spec they state:

If present, the ID MUST be globally unique across all streams within that session—or all streams with that specific client, if session management is not in use.

In the current implementation the ID is unique for ping requests but doesn't account for other requests happening in the session like tool lists or calls, resulting in multiple requests with the same ID happening for a given session.

Got it. The problem is that the ID of the result returned by our handlePost function uses the value of RequestID from the client request. And I think we should change the ID value instead of using RequestID directly.

In other words, these event IDs should be assigned by servers on a per-stream basis, to act as a cursor within that particular stream.
