Description
This issue is closely related to #273 and could be considered as a follow up to that, but I decided to split it for convenience and readability.
Consider an MCP server written with this SDK and using the StreamableHttp transport. We deploy two replicas (A
and B
) of this server, with a load balancer in front.
- A new client application initiates a session by sending an
initialize
message, followed by anotifications/initialized
notifications. - Let's say that the Load Balancer routed both messages to replica
A
- As a result, replica
A
generated a new session which Id is communicated back to the client - Replica
A
now has anMcpServerSession
instance properly initialized with all the necessary client information
Problem:
- Next the client sends a
tools/list
message with the obtain sessionId, but this time the load balancer routes the message to replicaB
- Even though I believe it should be the server's responsibility to share the session id across replicas, the
McpServerSession
instance that lives in replicaB
has never received (and will never receive) the initialize message and notifications - Although it's possible to distribute all that state and
simulate
that handshake in replicaB
(I actually did it), I think this SDK should have an OOTB support for that, or at the very least, SessionFactory methods that make it easier to generate "ready to use" Sessions based on previous initializations.
