- Around line 45-64: Authenticate all /mcp requests before MCP protocol
dispatch, not only calls reaching _key() through tool handlers: add middleware
or an equivalent MCP authentication layer that validates the Bearer API key,
returns HTTP 401 for missing or invalid credentials, and preserves valid
requests for discovery, resources, prompts, and tools. Configure the MCP
transport_security settings for the public Caddy host and origin so valid public
requests are not rejected with 421.

Python MCP SDK MCPServer streamable_http_app stateless_http authentication middleware Context headers tools/list resources/list prompts/list HTTP 401
💡 Result:
In the Python MCP SDK, the streamable-http transport provides a production-ready HTTP server for MCP, while stateless_http serves as a configuration flag to control session behavior [1][2]. Streamable HTTP and Stateless Configuration The streamable_http_app() method returns a Starlette ASGI application that can be run as a standalone server or mounted into an existing web framework [3]. The stateless_http=True option disables session tracking [1]. As of the 2026-07-28 specification, the modern MCP path is stateless by construction [2][4]. The stateless_http flag primarily acts as a legacy-compatibility knob; modern requests are routed and answered before this flag is evaluated [2]. Authentication and Middleware Authentication is handled via HTTP middleware available on streamable-http transports [5][6]. - Middleware: The SDK includes bearer_auth middleware that validates Authorization headers [7][8]. - Mechanism: When a request lacks a valid token, the server returns an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response, including a WWW-Authenticate header [5][6]. This header provides a resource_metadata URL, enabling automated discovery of OAuth 2.1 protected resource metadata (RFC 9728) [5][6]. - Usage: AuthSettings and a TokenVerifier are configured together [5]. Once authenticated, the middleware stores user context in a request-scoped variable, which is accessible to tool, resource, and prompt handlers [5][6]. Accessing Context and Headers To access raw HTTP request headers within your MCP tool or handler logic: 1. When using streamable-http, the request context is accessible via the Context object provided to your handlers [9]. 2. You can retrieve headers using context.request_context.request.headers [9]. 3. For authorization-specific data, the SDK provides get_access_token() to retrieve authenticated user information directly from the request state [5][9]. If you are building a custom ASGI wrapper, ensure the host app's lifespan enters mcp.session_manager.run() to avoid request failures [3]. Additionally, when using browser-based clients, you must wrap your app with CORSMiddleware and expose the Mcp-Session-Id header (if using legacy sessions) [10][3].

Authenticate /mcp before protocol dispatch.
_key() runs only through tool handlers. Discovery and resource or prompt requests bypass API-key validation. An invalid key also becomes an MCP error after the gateway returns 401; /mcp does not return 401. Add an ASGI or MCP authentication layer that verifies the key before dispatch and returns 401 for missing or invalid keys.
Configure transport_security for the public Caddy host. The SDK defaults to localhost-only host and origin checks, which can reject public requests with 421.

- Around line 53-57: Update build_mcp and its get_started onboarding
configuration so remote deployments require settings.public_base_url instead of
falling back to the local base_url; when that setting is unset, return only
explicitly local-only configuration and do not advertise
http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp as a remotely usable endpoint.

- Around line 61-82: Change the MCP authentication boundary around _key and _gw
so invalid or missing credentials produce an actual HTTP 401 response for
tools/list, prompts, resources, and credentialed tools/call requests, while
keeping get_started keyless. Do not rely on ValueError from tool handlers, since
the SDK converts it to an is_error result; validate credentials at the protocol
or HTTP layer and verify behavior with an invalid-key tools/call probe against
mcp==2.0.0.

Reject the stale client.on_message( decorator.
The stale-pattern list omits the removed @client.on_message API. A future setup guide could retain that decorator and still pass this test. Add "client.on_message(" to the rejected patterns.

- Around line 207-221: Update the event pagination in the inbox flow to always
reach the newest message.received events, avoiding the fixed 20-page cutoff that

otherwise continue pagination through the final page rather than silently

…idance, host allowlist, dup import
Adds an MCP server to the gateway so agents in Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP clients can use Caspian by URL alone - no package install. Stage 1 of the MCP rollout.

Each tool is a thin in-process call to the gateway's own /v1 REST routes with the caller's key, so auth, rate limits, and provider logic are reused, not duplicated.
