[Bug] HTTP MCP Transport Missing Required Protocol Version Header

Bug Description
---
Title: HTTP MCP transport missing required
MCP-Protocol-Version header

Description:

Claude Code's HTTP MCP transport client is not sending the
required MCP-Protocol-Version header when connecting to
MCP servers, causing connection failures with servers that
implement MCP spec 2025-06-18.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create an MCP server using mcp-server library version

0.1.0.15 (which implements MCP 2025-06-18)

1. Configure Claude Code to connect via HTTP transport
2. Attempt to connect with /mcp command

Expected Behavior:
Claude Code should send MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-06-18
header on all HTTP requests to MCP servers, as required by
the MCP 2025-06-18 specification.

Actual Behavior:

• No MCP-Protocol-Version header is sent
• Server returns 400 Bad Request: Missing required

MCP-Protocol-Version header

• Connection fails with "Failed to reconnect to agda-mcp"

Evidence from logs:
"HTTP Connection failed after 49ms: Error POSTing to
endpoint (HTTP 400): {\"error\":\"Missing required
MCP-Protocol-Version header\"}"

ezs-agda-mcp/mcp-logs-agda-mcp/

Manual verification:
# Without header (fails) - this is what Claude Code is
doing
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp -H "Content-Type:
application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","param
s":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clie
ntInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'
# Returns: {"error":"Missing required MCP-Protocol-Version
header"}

# With header (succeeds) - what Claude Code should do
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp -H "Content-Type:
application/json" \
-H "MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-06-18" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","param
s":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clie
ntInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'
# Returns: successful initialize response

Environment:

• Claude Code version: 2.0.13
• Platform: macOS (darwin)
• Node version: v24.3.0
• MCP server library: mcp-server 0.1.0.15 (Haskell)

Specification Reference:
According to the MCP 2025-06-18 spec upgrade notes, all
HTTP requests must include the MCP-Protocol-Version:
2025-06-18 header. This is a breaking change from earlier
protocol versions.

Workaround:
Use STDIO transport instead of HTTP, or use older
mcp-server versions (0.1.0.14 or earlier) that don't
enforce the header requirement.
