Why it matters
Live read-only negotiation proves that discovered MCP metadata maps to a usable protocol endpoint.
How to fix it
Make sure that the MCP endpoint answers initialize and tools/list.
-
Serve the Streamable HTTP transport at the endpoint in the server card.
-
Answer initialize and tools/list without auth for public tools.
Verify
Run a new scan for this checkpoint:
