In `@gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/api/management/mcp_spec_versions.go`:
- Around line 29-30: Update EffectiveSpecVersions to return SpecVersions
whenever its pointer is non-nil, including when the list is empty, and only fall
back to specVersion when the pointer is absent. Update the helper test to expect
an empty list and keep the transformer case invalid or verify validation rejects
it.
In `@gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/resolver/mcp_ambiguity.go`:
- Around line 60-71: The ambiguity check around foldsOntoOneName must also
inspect params._meta and nested clientInfo objects before unmarshalling. Extend
the existing duplicate and case-folding validation to protocol/clientInfo keys,
including clientInfo.name and clientInfo.version, while preserving the current
behavior for unrelated members.
In `@gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/resolver/mcp.go`:
- Around line 273-284: Update the body-processing flow around trimLeadingSpace
and AttrMCPBodyPresent to validate JSON syntax with json.Unmarshal before
classifying the top-level value. Preserve the existing body-present attribute
for any non-empty raw body, including invalid JSON, and keep whitespace-only
input distinct from a bodyless request while retaining the existing downstream
classification for valid JSON.
In `@gateway/system-policies/analytics/analytics_test.go`:
- Around line 868-870: Update the stability assertion around hashRequestState to
compare a second hash of the same non-empty input with the previously stored
result got, rather than hashing two empty strings inline. Preserve the existing
failure message and test intent.
In `@gateway/system-policies/analytics/analytics.go`:
- Line 2024: Update the ServerInfo emission predicate to also check
serverInfo.ProtocolVersion, while preserving the existing Name, Version, and
SupportedVersions checks, so a protocol version is retained in props.ServerInfo
when those other fields are empty.

telemetry field is invalid. Decode telemetry independently so its type errors do
not prevent governed-member validation, and add coverage for a wrong-typed

Purpose
This PR extends the Gateway to support the MCP
2026-07-28specification and MCP proxies that declare multiple specification versions.It also introduces MCP request resolution so that the JSON-RPC request body is parsed once before policy execution and the resolved MCP metadata is made available to downstream policies through the shared context. This avoids individual MCP policies repeatedly parsing the same request body.
Goals
2026-07-28specification.specVersions.specVersionconfiguration.Approach
MCP Request Resolution
The existing resolver framework is extended with an MCP resolver for the multiplexed
POST /mcproute.The resolver parses the JSON-RPC body once before the policy chain executes and publishes MCP request information such as:
These values are exposed as
mcp.body.*resolution attributes so that downstream policies, including request-header-phase policies, can consume them without parsing the request body again.Malformed or ambiguous bodies are reported through
mcp.body.unusableinstead of failing resolution, allowing MCP policies to generate the appropriate JSON-RPC error response.Multiple MCP Spec Versions
The MCP proxy configuration now supports:
The existing
specVersionfield remains supported for backward compatibility but is deprecated. Configurations specifying bothspecVersionandspecVersionsare rejected to avoid conflicting definitions.This allows the Gateway to represent legacy-only, modern-only, and dual-era MCP servers.
MCP 2026-07-28 Support
2026-07-28is added as a supported MCP specification version, allowing proxies using the new stateless MCP protocol revision to be deployed through the Gateway.Gateway route generation is also updated to consider all declared MCP specification versions when determining version-specific routes.
Analytics
MCP analytics is updated to consume resolver-provided request metadata where available and capture additional information introduced by the new MCP revision, including result type, server information, and request-state-related metadata.
Backward Compatibility
Existing MCP proxies using:
continue to work without configuration changes.
Proxies that do not explicitly specify a version continue to use the existing default MCP version.
Existing MCP policies can also continue parsing the body as a fallback when resolver-provided attributes are unavailable.
