Properties

Completions

Gets or sets a server's completions capability for supporting argument auto-completion suggestions.

[JsonPropertyName("completions")]
public CompletionsCapability? Completions { get; set; }

Property Value

CompletionsCapability

Experimental

Gets or sets experimental, non-standard capabilities that the server supports.

[JsonPropertyName("experimental")]
public IDictionary<string, object>? Experimental { get; set; }

Property Value

IDictionary<string, object>

Remarks

The Experimental dictionary allows servers to advertise support for features that are not yet standardized in the Model Context Protocol specification. This extension mechanism enables future protocol enhancements while maintaining backward compatibility.

Values in this dictionary are implementation-specific and should be coordinated between client and server implementations. Clients should not assume the presence of any experimental capability without checking for it first.
