MCP Node.js SDK updates to v2, removing sessions and streamlining updates

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has released a significant update to its Node.js TypeScript SDK, moving to version 2. This new version aligns with the 2026-07-28 MCP specification, introducing major changes such as the removal of protocol-level sessions and the introduction of a single stream for updates. The SDK has been modularized into separate packages for server, client, and adapters, requiring Node.js 20+ and Zod 4. Developers can utilize a codemod to assist with the migration from v1 to v2, which involves replacing `server.tool()` with `registerTool()` and using `createMcpHandler()` or `serveStdio()` to ensure compatibility with both older and newer clients.
