feat(mcp): expose server capabilities to client #173
Conversation
This change introduces a new method, `ServerCapabilities()`, on the `ClientSession`. This allows a client to inspect the capabilities of the connected server after the initialization handshake. Previously, the capability-related structs were unexported, and the client session did not provide a way to access them. This change exports the `ServerCapabilities` type and related structs, making them part of the public API. The `ServerCapabilities()` method returns a deep copy of the capabilities to prevent accidental modification of the session's internal state. In addition, this commit also introduces a `.gitignore` file to prevent tracking of unwanted local files, such as generated files and IDE-specific configurations.

I filed an issue (#166) earlier, and wanted to create a PR that could serve as a possible implementation, if the feature from the issue gets approved to be implemented |

I wonder if we can just use an exported field. The doc will say not to modify it, but even if someone does, they're only hurting themselves, as far as I can tell.
Or if we're not sure, let's use the function, but not bother copying until we discover a case where it could matter. But really I think the field suffices.

I agree with not copying right now.
I think we should go with the cs.ServerCapabilities() function because cs.InitializeResult.Capabilities is a bit cumbersome/less obvious to use. Plus, like you said, we can add copying to ServerCapabilities later.

We say "is" or "are" instead of represents.
Change throughout.

@jba @samthanawalla @findleyr I've opened a new PR to address the comments and expose the entire initialized result rather than just the server capabilities via a |

Can we close this PR, since #228 is a replacement? |
