Found in base branch: master
MCP Ruby SDK is the official Ruby SDK for Model Context Protocol servers and clients. Prior to 0.23.0, MCP::Server::Transports::StreamableHTTPTransport in the mcp gem does not expire sessions by default, so repeated initialize requests retain unbounded ServerSession objects and can exhaust process memory. This issue is fixed in version 0.23.0.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with Gemfile.lock and the vendored mcp-0.9.0.gem, then inspect the dependency declarations that bring mcp in through RuboCop. Upgrade mcp to at least 0.23.0, refresh the lockfile and vendor cache as needed, and run the project's existing checks to confirm the dependency resolves cleanly.
