Closes #2
Adds
define_custom_method
to Server to allow definition of custom methods (outside the MCP spec). Method blocks that returnnil
become custom notifications.Motivation and Context
MCP supports both servers and clients to send notifications. And notifications are not limited to what's defined by the spec.
This PR adds flexibility for servers to receive custom method calls and notifications from clients/hosts.
Servers can implement cutting-edge MCP methods before this gem implements them.
Custom notifications from host to server allow use cases like diagnostic logging, capturing of multimodal LLM transcripts, etc. by piggybacking on MCP instead of implementing custom endpoints.
