Description

The streamable HTTP client can exceed its per-request SSE reconnection budget when each reconnect opens successfully, emits only an id-bearing priming event, and then reaches EOF without a JSON-RPC response.

In that case _handle_reconnection() currently recurses with attempt=0 after the clean EOF path. The exception path increments the counter, but the normal EOF-without-response path resets it, so a no-timeout request such as subscriptions/listen can keep reconnecting instead of resolving the waiter with CONNECTION_CLOSED after MAX_RECONNECTION_ATTEMPTS.

Reproduction

Drive StreamableHTTPTransport._handle_reconnection() with a mock HTTP transport that returns these per-request SSE responses:

  1. Reconnect 1: id: evt-1 with empty data, then EOF.
  2. Reconnect 2: id: evt-2 with empty data, then EOF.
  3. Reconnect 3: a JSON-RPC success response.

Starting from Last-Event-ID: evt-0 and retry_interval_ms=0, current main makes the third HTTP request and delivers the success response. I expected the client to stop after the two configured reconnect attempts, emit a JSONRPCError for the original request with CONNECTION_CLOSED, and only send Last-Event-ID: evt-0 and Last-Event-ID: evt-1.

Expected Behavior

Each per-request reconnect that reaches EOF without delivering a JSON-RPC response should consume the reconnect budget. That keeps request-scoped SSE drops consistent whether they end by transport exception or by clean EOF, and prevents no-timeout callers from staying parked forever when a server repeatedly closes resumable streams without producing the response.

Local Verification

I have a local regression test that fails on current main because the third reconnect response is accepted, then passes when the clean EOF path recurses with attempt + 1.

Commands run locally:

  • uv run --frozen pytest tests/client/test_streamable_http.py::test_empty_resumable_sse_reconnects_count_toward_the_request_budget -q
  • uv run --frozen pytest tests/client/test_streamable_http.py -q
  • uv run --frozen ruff check src/mcp/client/streamable_http.py tests/client/test_streamable_http.py
  • uv run --frozen ruff format --check src/mcp/client/streamable_http.py tests/client/test_streamable_http.py
  • uv run --frozen pyright src/mcp/client/streamable_http.py tests/client/test_streamable_http.py
  • UV_FROZEN=1 uv run --frozen strict-no-cover

Disclosure: I used AI assistance to help prepare this report and a local patch; I reviewed the reproduction, root cause, and test results.

Línea de trabajo

Comienza con StreamableHTTPTransport._handle_reconnection() en src/mcp/client/streamable_http.py y después lee test_empty_resumable_sse_reconnects_count_toward_the_request_budget en tests/client/test_streamable_http.py. Ejecuta primero esa prueba de regresión y el archivo de pruebas completo de streamable HTTP. Se considera terminado cuando los EOF limpios sin una respuesta JSON-RPC consumen el presupuesto de reconexión de la solicitud y resuelven el waiter con CONNECTION_CLOSED.
