Description
Please do a quick search on GitHub issues first, there might be already a duplicate issue for the one you are about to create.
If the bug is trivial, just go ahead and create the issue. Otherwise, please take a few moments and fill in the following sections:
Bug description
Unable to initialize client for Streamable Http with no Auth. Made a change to avoid redirects for the init call. Update DEFAULT_SSE_ENDPOINT to /mcp/ in HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport
Environment
Please provide as many details as possible: Spring MCP version, Java version, which vector store you use if any, etc
java version:
openjdk version "21.0.4" 2024-07-16 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Corretto-21.0.4.7.1 (build 21.0.4+7-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Corretto-21.0.4.7.1 (build 21.0.4+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)
Steps to reproduce
The following snippent :
HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport streamableHttpTransport = HttpClientStreamableHttpTransport
.builder("https://some remote server url")
.build();
McpSyncClient client = McpClient.sync(streamableHttpTransport)
.requestTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
.capabilities(McpSchema.ClientCapabilities.builder()
.roots(true) // Enable roots capability
.sampling() // Enable sampling capability
.build())
.build();
// Initialize connection
client.initialize();
// List available tools
McpSchema.ListToolsResult tools = client.listTools();
logs :

3. tools/list
Now we can make the actual request
curl -v --location 'some remote server url' \
--header 'Accept: text/event-stream, application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'mcp-session-id: 47a6649435954960b524022a7f0079db' \
--data '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "tools/list",
"params": {
"protocolVersion": "2024-06-18",
"capabilities": {},
"clientInfo": {
"name": "Java SDK MCP Client",
"version": "1.0.0"
}
}
}'
And you get the list of tools in the response
