GAP-L1-P2-mcp-stdio-vs-http-sse-deprecation reference
MCPTransport.kind: enum<stdio,streamable-http,sse,websocket>. Coverage-checklist row says HTTP+SSE is "deprecated" and WebSocket is "community" / not-in-spec, but the schema has no status attribute on MCPTransport. Examples show status: live only for streamable-http, but the field isn't in the NodeKind definition (only in the example).

Current state
MCPTransport.kind: enum<stdio,streamable-http,sse,websocket>. Coverage-checklist row says HTTP+SSE is "deprecated" and WebSocket is "community" / not-in-spec, but the schema has no status attribute on MCPTransport. Examples show status: live only for streamable-http, but the field isn't in the NodeKind definition (only in the example).
Desired state
- Add
MCPTransport.status: enum<live,deprecated,community,draft>formally to NodeKind. - Update
http-sse.yamlexample withstatus: deprecated,deprecatedSinceRevision: 2025-03-26. - Update
websocket.yamlwithstatus: community.
Evidence
- C:/work/v6/graph/schema/examples/compute/mcp-transports/streamable-http.yaml (uses
status: livefield that isn't in the schema) - https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-03-26/basic/transports
Propagation status
- Level 1: open
- Level 2: not-started —
02-node-kinds/transport.mdundocumented attribute
Propagation chain
- Level 1: 1 attribute addition + 4 example status updates.
- Level 2: transport.md table grows by one row.
Notes
Schema-vs-example drift: examples already use a field the NodeKind doesn't declare. Internal consistency bug.
