From e4d49d9b8a093f993f5c5dac116b3f53f1cb495b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jerome Date: Wed, 14 May 2025 22:12:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: implement pagination support for list_tools in client MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add cursor-based pagination support to the list_tools method in the client session, along with comprehensive tests. This enables clients to handle large tool lists efficiently by fetching them in pages. - Update list_tools method to accept and handle cursor parameter - Properly propagate cursor from server response - Add test_list_tools_cursor.py with complete test coverage - Test pagination flow, empty results, and edge cases 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/mcp/client/session.py | 3 +- tests/client/test_list_tools_cursor.py | 101 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 103 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 tests/client/test_list_tools_cursor.py diff --git a/src/mcp/client/session.py b/src/mcp/client/session.py index 1e8ab2042..ee56f683c 100644 --- a/src/mcp/client/session.py +++ b/src/mcp/client/session.py @@ -322,12 +322,13 @@ async def complete( types.CompleteResult, ) -
