DEFAULT_NEGOTIATED_VERSION module-attribute

DEFAULT_NEGOTIATED_VERSION = '2025-03-26'

The default negotiated version of the Model Context Protocol when no version is specified.

We need this to satisfy the MCP specification, which requires the server to assume a specific version if none is provided by the client.

See the "Protocol Version Header" at https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-11-25/basic/transports#protocol-version-header.

LATEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION module-attribute

LATEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION = '2025-11-25'

The latest version of the Model Context Protocol.
