   This should be resolved in beta.5, this was a late breaking spec change in modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#3002

   Closing: fixed in #2513, released in 2.0.0-beta.5

   Thanks for the report! This came from a late-breaking spec change — modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol#3002 demoted the request envelope's io.modelcontextprotocol/clientInfo from required to SHOULD — and the server-side rejection you hit was fixed in #2513 (merged 2026-07-20), which makes clientInfo optional in the _meta envelope exactly as the final 2026-07-28 revision requires. That fix shipped in 2.0.0-beta.5 (released 2026-07-21) and is included in the stable 2.0.0 release; the report was against 2.0.0-beta.4, which predates it. Upgrading to 2.0.0 (or any release from beta.5 onward) resolves the error — if you still see it there, please open a new issue.

   This comment and close were reviewed and approved by maintainer @felixweinberger — it is a human-approved action, not an unattended automated one.
