Notes on what I'm building and watching.

    Your MCP server didn't break. The protocol did.

    A field guide to the 2026-07-28 migration written from the wrong end: not what the changelog says changed, but what your terminal prints when it breaks. Seven methods were deleted in one revision, and each one fails in a way that looks like your fault.

    You can't test a protocol bridge on your own mocks

    I wrote a bridge that runs old MCP servers behind the new stateless protocol. My own test fixtures said it worked. They would say that — I wrote them against the same reading of the spec as the bridge. So I ran it against 79 published servers written by other people, and then deleted the ones that were padding the number.
