Connector Upgrade and Rescue

Move to 2026-07-28, add Client ID Metadata Documents, fix annotations, respond to a rejection.

Price
$2,500 to $5,000
Timeline
1 to 2 weeks

Problem

If your MCP server was built before the 2026-07-28 spec, it may depend on sessions or the initialize handshake, register clients dynamically, or ship tools without the annotations reviewers check.

Listings also move: legacy Console-form submissions belong in the new portal, and MCPB listings need converting.

Stainless is winding down all its hosted products after joining Anthropic (May 18, 2026), so teams that rely on hosted Stainless MCP need a migration path.

Who it's for

A good fit

  • Teams with an MCP server built before the 2026-07-28 spec
  • Teams whose submission was rejected and who need the fixes and a response
  • Teams on Stainless-hosted MCP that need to move

Not a fit

  • Teams without an MCP server yet. That is the Connector Launch Sprint.
  • Teams that want us to host the server. It runs on your infrastructure.

What we do

We audit your server, migrate it to 2026-07-28 and fix what blocks listing. The migration removes session dependence, adds server/discover and updates error codes. We add Client ID Metadata Documents, fix annotations and consolidate tools where a smaller set works better.

If a platform rejected your submission, we fix what the reviewers flagged and respond from your accounts.

Deliverables

  • A stateless 2026-07-28 migration: no session dependence, `server/discover` and updated error codes
  • Client ID Metadata Documents
  • Annotation fixes and tool consolidation
  • Legacy Console-form submissions moved to the new portal
  • MCPB listings converted
  • A response to a rejection, with the fixes it asks for
  • Migration off Stainless-hosted MCP
