Anubis.Server.Session (anubis_mcp v1.3.0)

Per-client MCP session process.

Each Session is a GenServer that manages the lifecycle of a single MCP client connection. It handles protocol initialization, request/notification dispatch, server-initiated requests (sampling, roots), and session persistence.

Sessions are created by the transport layer (STDIO creates one at startup, HTTP transports create them dynamically via Anubis.Server.Supervisor).

Functions

auto_initialize(session)

@spec auto_initialize(GenServer.server()) :: :ok | {:error, term()}

Auto-initializes a session without a client initialize handshake.

This is used when a client sends a non-initialize request to an expired or unknown session. Instead of returning 404, the server can create a new session and auto-initialize it so the request can be processed transparently.

Uses the server's latest supported protocol version and synthetic client info (%{"name" => "auto-recovered", "version" => "unknown"}). Server implementations should not rely on this identity for client-specific decisions.

child_spec(init_arg)

Returns a specification to start this module under a supervisor.

See Supervisor.
