Description

Implements SEP-2484 for the MCP Spec 2026-07-28 release.

Tracked by umbrella #339.

Spec summary

Before any Standards Track SEP touching observable protocol behavior moves Accepted → Final, a tagged conformance scenario must be merged in the modelcontextprotocol/conformance repo with a sep-NNNN.yaml traceability file mapping each MUST/MUST NOT requirement.

PHP SDK changes

  • No direct code change, but materially affects how the SDK tracks SEP adoption. The conformance suite at tests/Conformance/ (Docker-based) becomes the ground truth for "feature implemented."
  • Use SEP traceability YAMLs to drive PHP coverage: each newly-Final SEP maps to a set of conformance scenarios that should pass against the PHP SDK before claiming support.
  • Build on commits f12ea0a (conformance score calculation) and 3e45b1f (README badges): surface per-SEP pass rates next to the overall score.
  • CI gate: when conformance suite adds a sep-NNNN.yaml, surface failures distinctly so adoption can be tracked SEP-by-SEP.

Research direction

Start with tests/Conformance/ and the Docker-based conformance runner, then review commits f12ea0a and 3e45b1f for the existing score calculation and README badges. Trace how sep-NNNN.yaml files from the conformance repository could provide per-SEP results. Done means per-SEP pass rates are surfaced and CI distinguishes failures when a new traceability file is added.
