12 PyPI Packages Recovered After MCP SDK 2 Issues

A follow-up investigation into 292 Python packages previously found to be broken by the MCP SDK 2 revealed that 12 of them have since been updated and now function correctly. These updates primarily involved adding upper bounds to dependencies, with seven packages showing recovery after such changes. Two additional packages worked at their original versions after their declared MCP extras were installed, indicating a correction in the installation process rather than a direct fix by maintainers.
