List Change Notifications + +**Purpose**: Automatic updates when server capabilities change +**Critical Feature**: Keeps clients synchronized with dynamic server capabilities + +#### How List Change Notifications Work: + +**1. Capability Declaration (Server):** + +```json +{ + "capabilities": { + "tools": { + "listChanged": true // Server will notify when tools change + }, + "resources": { + "listChanged": true // Server will notify when resources change + }, + "prompts": { + "listChanged": true // Server will notify when prompts change + } + } +} +``` + +**2. Capability Declaration (Client):** + +```json +{ + "capabilities": { + "notifications": { + "supported": true // REQUIRED: Client can handle notifications + } + } +} +``` + +**3. Notification Types:** + +##### Tools List Changes: + +```json +// Sent when tools are added, removed, or modified +{ + "method": "notifications/tools/list_changed", + "params": {} +} +``` + +##### Resources List Changes: + +```json +// Sent when resources are added, removed, or modified +{ + "method": "notifications/resources/list_changed", + "params": {} +} +``` + +##### Prompts List Changes: + +```json +// Sent when prompts are added, removed, or modified +{ + "method": "notifications/prompts/list_changed", + "params": {} +} +``` + +**4. Client Response Pattern:** + +```json +// Client automatically refreshes when notified +{ + "method": "tools/list", // or resources/list, prompts/list + "id": "refresh-after-change" +} +``` + +#### Use Cases for List Change Notifications: + +- **Dynamic Tool Loading**: Server adds new tools based on user actions +- **Permission Changes**: User gains/loses access to certain capabilities +- **Plugin Management**: Server loads/unloads plugins dynamically +- **Resource Discovery**: New files/databases become available +- **Template Updates**: Prompt templates are modified or added + +#### Implementation Example: + +```javascript +// Server-side: Dynamic capability management +class DynamicMCPServer { + async addTool(toolDefinition) { + this.tools.set(toolDefinition.name, toolDefinition); + + // Automatically notify all clients + await this.notifyClients("notifications/tools/list_changed", {}); + } + + async addResource(resourceDefinition) { + this.resources.set(resourceDefinition.uri, resourceDefinition); + + // Automatically notify all clients + await this.notifyClients("notifications/resources/list_changed", {}); + } +} + +// Client-side: Automatic refresh handling +client.onNotification("notifications/tools/list_changed", async () => { + const updatedTools = await client.request({ method: "tools/list" }); + updateUI(updatedTools.tools); +}); +``` + +### 5. Subscriptions + +**Purpose**: Enable real-time updates from server to client for specific events +**Requires**: Bidirectional communication capability + +#### Subscription Flow: + +```json +// 1. Client subscribes +{ + "method": "notifications/subscribe", + "params": { + "method": "resources/updated" + } +} + +// 2. Server acknowledges +{ + "result": {"subscribed": true} +} + +// 3. Server sends updates (when events occur) +{ + "method": "notifications/resources/updated", + "params": { + "uri": "file://./documents/readme.md", + "type": "modified" + } +} +``` + +### 6. Progress Notifications + +**Purpose**: Track long-running operations with real-time updates +**Transport Consideration**: Streamable HTTP can upgrade to SSE for streaming + +#### Progress Flow: + +```json +// Long-running tool call triggers progress +{ + "method": "notifications/progress", + "params": { + "progressToken": "operation_123", + "progress": 0.75, + "total": 100, + "message": "Processing files 75 of 100..." + } +} +``` + +### 7. Completion Support + +**Purpose**: Help users complete arguments and parameters + +#### Completion Flow: + +```json +// Client requests completion +{ + "method": "completion/complete", + "params": { + "ref": { + "type": "ref/tool", + "name": "file_read" + }, + "argument": { + "name": "path", + "value": "/home/user/doc" + } + } +} + +// Server provides suggestions +{ + "result": { + "completion": { + "values": [ + "/home/user/documents/", + "/home/user/docs/" + ], + "total": 2, + "hasMore": false + } + } +} +``` + +### 8. Elicitation + +**Purpose**: Progressive disclosure of information to reduce cognitive load +**How it works**: Servers provide minimal initial responses with options to request more detail + +#### Elicitation Pattern: + +Elicitation enables servers to provide concise initial responses while offering users the ability to request additional information on demand. This reduces information overload and improves user experience. + +#### Initial Response with Elicitation: + +```json +{ + "method": "resources/list", + "result": { + "resources": [ + { + "uri": "collection://large-dataset", + "name": "Customer Database", + "description": "Contains 50,000 customer records" + } + ], + "_meta": { + "elicitation": { + "available": true, + "methods": ["expand", "filter", "search", "sample"] + } + } + } +} +``` + +#### Client Elicitation Request: + +```json +{ + "method": "resources/elicit", + "params": { + "uri": "collection://large-dataset", + "elicitationMethod": "expand", + "context": { + "maxItems": 100, + "filter": "status:active", + "sortBy": "lastActivity" + } + } +} +``` + +#### Elicited Response: + +```json +{ + "result": { + "resources": [ + { + "uri": "customer://001", + "name": "Alice Johnson", + "description": "Premium customer, last active today", + "mimeType": "application/json" + }, + { + "uri": "customer://002", + "name": "Bob Smith", + "description": "Enterprise customer, last active yesterday", + "mimeType": "application/json" + } + // ... up to 100 items as requested + ], + "_meta": { + "elicitation": { + "totalAvailable": 50000, + "filtered": 12500, + "returned": 100, + "hasMore": true, + "nextElicitation": { + "methods": ["expand", "nextPage", "refine"] + } + } + } + } +} +``` + +#### Elicitation Use Cases: + +1. **Large Dataset Preview**: Show summary first, expand on request +2. **Contextual Filtering**: Apply user-specific filters to reduce noise +3. **Progressive Detail**: Start with overview, drill down as needed +4. **Interactive Exploration**: Guide users through complex data structures + +#### Elicitation Flow Diagram: + +``` +β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β” β”Œβ”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β”€β” +β”‚ Client β”‚ β”‚ Server β”‚ +β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”¬β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ β””β”€β”€β”€β”€β”¬β”€β”€β”€β”€β”˜ + β”‚ β”‚ + β”‚ 1.
