Fixes #1143

Supersedes #1142, following the maintainer’s request to track the problem in an issue before opening a replacement PR. The code is unchanged from the previously tested head a2f8133b.

Description

Preserve escaped segments in protected resource metadata paths. For example, a resource ending in /tenant/acme%2Fcorp/mcp currently produces a metadata path ending in /tenant/acme/corp/mcp. A space can make a custom http.ServeMux reject the pattern, and escaped braces can become a wildcard.

Use the resource's escaped path and compare request paths after decoding each segment once. This keeps equivalent escape spellings working without turning an encoded slash into a segment boundary. Apply this matching to the Streamable HTTP and SSE metadata routes.

The regression test exercises 11 cases through real HTTP requests against Streamable HTTP, SSE, and a custom ServeMux, including root and ordinary paths, spaces, Unicode, percent signs, equivalent escapes, encoded slashes, and literal braces.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
  • MCP spec compatibility implementation
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update
  • Code refactoring (no functional changes)
  • Performance improvement
  • Tests only (no functional changes)
  • Other (please describe):

Checklist

  • My code follows the code style of this project
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly

Additional Information

  • Regression-only baseline at bd754396: the new regression fails; the otel suite and code generation check pass.
  • Fixed head at a2f8133b: go test ./... -race passes in both the root and otel modules, and generated code verification passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Protected-resource metadata endpoints now resolve correctly for paths containing encoded characters, including slashes, spaces, Unicode, and percent signs.
    • Matching distinguishes path segments and case variants consistently across streamable HTTP, SSE, and custom HTTP routing.
    • Empty, invalid, relative, hostless, and pathless resource URLs continue to use the base metadata path.

Walkthrough

Protected-resource metadata paths now preserve escaped resource path segments. Streamable HTTP and SSE routing use escaped request paths, with tests covering equivalent escape spellings, encoded slashes, and other special path characters.

Changes

Escaped metadata paths

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generate and compare escaped metadata paths
server/protected_resource.go
ProtectedResourceMetadataPath uses the escaped resource path. A new matcher compares corresponding segments after unescaping them.
Route requests and test escaped paths
server/streamable_http.go, server/sse.go, server/protected_resource_escaped_path_test.go
Streamable HTTP and SSE routing use escaped request paths. Tests cover metadata path generation and requests across both transports and a custom ServeMux.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~12 minutes

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: escaped protected resource metadata paths are now preserved. It matches the summarized changes to ProtectedResourceMetadataPath, the new matching helper, and the routing updates in the SSE and Streamable HTTP servers. The title uses the conventional commit form and is concise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has a description section that explains the escaped-path bug, the matching approach, and the 11-case regression test. It links the issue (Fixes #1143) and marks the type of change as a bug fix. It also marks the code style and test checklist items. The description covers the required content. Two gaps remain: the self-review item and the documentation item are unchecked without explanation, and the MCP Spec Compliance section is left in template form, which is acceptable because the template says to remove it when not applicable. The spec compliance section is not removed.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1143 requires escaped resource-path segments to remain intact, including encoded slashes, spaces, and braces. ProtectedResourceMetadataPath now uses URL.EscapedPath(). matchProtectedResourceMetadataPath compares corresponding escaped segments after one unescape and preserves segment boundaries. Streamable HTTP and SSE use this matcher. The added regression test covers the required path cases through both transports and a custom http.ServeMux.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are limited to protected-resource metadata path generation, metadata route matching in Streamable HTTP and SSE, and regression tests for issue #1143. No unrelated production behavior or unrelated tests are changed.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
