Descrizione
Summary
When a client sends two JSON-RPC requests with the same id on the same Streamable HTTP session before the first response is delivered, StreamableHTTPServerTransport overwrites the per-id response stream slot without warning. The first request's caller hangs until its read times out, and the second response is delivered to whichever caller wins the race. The server logs nothing.
The MCP base protocol requires that "the request ID MUST NOT have been previously used by the requestor within the same session," so a duplicate id is a protocol violation by the client. But the server has no way to tell the client (or an operator) that the violation happened, which makes this very hard to diagnose downstream.
Where it happens
In src/mcp/server/streamable_http.py lines 534-536 at v1.27.1:
request_id = str(message.root.id)
self._request_streams[request_id] = anyio.create_memory_object_stream[EventMessage](0)
request_stream_reader = self._request_streams[request_id][1]
The assignment is unconditional. If request_id is already a key in _request_streams, the prior (send, receive) pair is dropped on the floor. The earlier request's writer eventually tries to push a response into a stream nobody is reading, and the earlier request's caller is reading a stream nobody will ever write to.
The router side at lines 1004-1033 uses the same str(id) keying to dispatch responses, so once the slot has been overwritten, response routing is undefined.
Reproduction signature
We hit this through an in-house client that was sending id: 1 for every concurrent tool call on a shared session. Under concurrent load, calls timed out and at least one caller received the wrong tool's response payload.
Proposed Behavior
When a request arrives with an id that already has an in-flight stream registered, the server should reject it with JSON-RPC -32600 Invalid Request and leave the existing in-flight request untouched. This:
- Surfaces the spec violation to the client immediately instead of timing out.
- Preserves the in-flight request that arrived first.
- Gives operators a log line to diagnose against.
A weaker variant (log-only, no error response) would still be a meaningful improvement over silent data loss.

Direzione di ricerca
Inizia in src/mcp/server/streamable_http.py alle righe 534-536, quindi esamina la logica del router alle righe 1004-1033. Traccia il modo in cui gli ID di richiesta duplicati sostituiscono le voci in _request_streams e il modo in cui vengono distribuite le risposte. Il lavoro è completato quando la richiesta esistente in corso rimane intatta, la richiesta duplicata riceve JSON-RPC -32600 Invalid Request e la violazione viene registrata.
