MCP TypeScript SDK: Experimental tasks were not tied to the session that created them

Summary

In affected versions, the experimental tasks feature (taskStore) did not check which session created a task. Clients sharing one InMemoryTaskStore could list, read and cancel each other's tasks.

Experimental tasks are deprecated. The 2026-07-28 specification replaced them with a redesigned extension. The best course of action is to stop using them.

Am I affected?

Only if your HTTP server passes taskStore to McpServer or Server. If grep -ri taskstore --exclude-dir=node_modules . finds nothing, you are not affected.

Affected versions: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.24.0 through 1.31.0. The 2.x packages are not affected.

Fix

Upgrade to @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.32.0 or later. Each task is now tied to the session that created it, so a client that starts a new session can no longer reach its earlier tasks.

If you cannot upgrade yet, remove taskStore, or create one InMemoryTaskStore per session.
