Return 405 on GET when stateless_http=True

Description

When a Streamable HTTP server is configured with stateless_http=True, GET /mcp is still accepted and opens an SSE stream that has no session context and can never receive server-initiated messages — a dead-end.

The MCP Streamable HTTP spec explicitly permits returning 405 Method Not Allowed when the server does not offer an SSE stream at the endpoint
(spec):

The server MUST return HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed if an SSE stream is
not offered at the endpoint.

A stateless server cannot offer one — there is no session to push to — so GET should 405. The TypeScript SDK already behaves this way in its stateless example.

A prior PR (#2262) proposed essentially this change but was closed for lack of a corresponding issue per CONTRIBUTING.md.
Opening this issue to agree on scope so the fix can be re-submitted.

Example Code

from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP

mcp = FastMCP("my-server", stateless_http=True, json_response=True)

@mcp.tool()
def ping() -> str:
    return "pong"

app = mcp.streamable_http_app()

A couple of clarifications for triage:

Current vs expected behavior

Today (v1.27.0):

$ curl -i -X GET http://localhost:8000/mcp
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: text/event-stream
... (stream idles until platform timeout)

Expected:

$ curl -i -X GET http://localhost:8000/mcp
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Allow: POST

Concrete impact

The idle GET SSE stream holds a long-lived connection per client with no useful payload, exhausting concurrent connection limits on serverless platforms like Cloud Run. Background previously raised in #2232 / #1941.

Proposed resolution

PR #2262 already has a working implementation. Once this issue is labeled ready for work, reopening it (narrowed to GET per this issue's scope) should be sufficient — no new PR needed.

Python & MCP Python SDK

1.27.0

FastMCP.streamable_http_app() から開始し、stateless_http=True の場合に GET /mcp がどのように処理されるかを確認します。PR #2262 に、確認対象となる以前の実装があります。curl の例を使用して、GET が Allow: POST とともに 405 Method Not Allowed を返し、記載されている stateless な POST の動作には影響がないことを検証します。
