The MCP server rips out the initialize handshake and moves protocol negotiation into every request, breaking everything expecting the old flow.

Laravel's model context protocol implementation shipped a breaking redesign overnight [1]. The initialize handshake is gone. Clients now send protocol version and capabilities in `_meta` on every call, and the server responds with `-32601` if you try the old way [2]. This is a hard break: anyone building against MCP 2025-11-25 loses compatibility immediately [1]. The new `server/discover` method replaces both ping and initialize, returning supported versions, capabilities, and instructions in a single stateless call [3]. Meanwhile, Laravel's language server shipped a quieter but equally important fix: the Neovim config was launching laravel-lsp on every PHP project because `composer.json` and `.git` matched non-Laravel codebases [4]. The server rejects those roots and spams RPC errors. Gating on just the `artisan` file prevents that cold start entirely [5]. On the tooling front, the typos linter bumped to 1.49.0 with an updated dictionary [7]. The LSP also added Livewire component class path recognition to improve IDE support [6].

Action items

→ Update Neovim config to gate laravel-lsp on artisan only laravel/lsp [plan]
→ Review MCP 2026-07-28 spec for server/discover implementation laravel/mcp [plan]
