feat(ai, ai-mcp): send request-scoped _meta with MCP requests - #2116
You can now send per-request context (tenant ID, user ID, trace ID) to MCP servers as the MCP request _meta. It works on every transport, also stdio, and with a pool that is created once at module load. Add requestMeta to chat({ mcp }), or pass meta on a direct client call.
_meta goes with every MCP request that a chat run makes:
tools/call when the model calls an MCP tool.
resources/read for the ui:// widget of an MCP Apps tool.
tools/call from a widget, through createMcpAppCallHandler.
What is new:
@tanstack/ai:chat({ mcp: { requestMeta } }) and the MCPRequestMeta / MCPRequestMetaInput types. The hook gets method, serverId, and toolName + args or uri. It runs once per request, when the request runs.
@tanstack/ai-mcp client:callTool, readResource and getPrompt take options.meta. tools({ requestMeta }) gives tools that call the hook before each call.
Reserved keys: before send, the client drops progressToken and every key whose prefix has an mcp or modelcontextprotocol label (for example io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion). On spec 2026, SDK 2.1.0 adds its own envelope keys before the user _meta, so a user key could replace them.
Pool reads:createMCPClients().readResource(uri, { serverId, meta }) reads only from the server that owns the tool. Before, the pool tried each server, so the meta of one server could reach the others.
Call handler:handler(req, { signal, meta }) sends meta with the widget tools/call.
Not in this PR: a TanStack MCP server (createMCPServer) cannot read request _meta yet. A raw SDK server gets it in request.params._meta.
Docs: new sections in docs/tools/mcp-managed.md, docs/tools/mcp-manual.md and docs/mcp/apps.md. Changeset: minor for @tanstack/ai and @tanstack/ai-mcp.
I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.
Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing.
Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.
pnpm test:pr was not run locally. CI runs it. See Testing for the checks that ran.
🚀 Release Impact
This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).
Testing
Commands run (all pass):
vitest on the touched test files, with --maxWorkers=2: packages/ai 3 files and 54 tests, packages/ai-mcp 9 files and 194 tests.
tsc for packages/ai and packages/ai-mcp.
test:oxlint for both packages (0 errors), oxfmt --check on the changed files, and pnpm test:docs.
kiira check on the three docs pages: the code samples compile against the new types.
Left to CI: the Playwright E2E suite (including the new mcp-request-meta-wire.spec.ts), the E2E typecheck, knip, sherif, build, and coverage.
Manual test. A script ran a real HTTP MCP server with two servers in one pool (vendor first, then internal). It ran two chat() runs at the same time with different tenants. The raw _meta that reached the server:
Each run sent only its own tenant. The serverId filter kept vendor free of meta. The widget read did not go to vendor, which is first in the pool and serves the same URI.
To see it yourself:
Run pnpm --filter @tanstack/ai-e2e test:e2e -- --grep "request _meta".
Or run pnpm --dir packages/ai-mcp exec vitest run tests/tools-request-meta.test.ts tests/client-request-meta.test.ts.
How this PR makes testing easy:
packages/ai-mcp/tests/client-request-meta.test.ts: _meta on each method, reserved keys, and the spec 2025 task path.
packages/ai-mcp/tests/tools-request-meta.test.ts: both tools() paths, lazy tools, the pool, two runs at the same time, and a hook error.
packages/ai-mcp/tests/pool.test.ts, tests/apps/call-handler.test.ts and packages/ai/tests/chat-mcp-manager.test.ts: routing, the handler, and chat binding.
testing/e2e/tests/mcp-request-meta-wire.spec.ts: the client, the call handler and chat() against an HTTP MCP server.
Risk / rollback
Low risk. All new options are optional, and calls without them send the same requests as before. One behavior change: a ui:// read from chat() now goes only to the owning server, when the pool knows its serverId. To undo, revert this PR.
Add a requestMeta hook to chat({ mcp }) and tools(), and a per-call meta
option to callTool, readResource, getPrompt and the MCP Apps call handler.
Reserved MCP _meta keys are dropped before send. Pool resource reads now go
to the owning server, so one server's meta does not reach the others.
The MCP APIs now forward per-request metadata as _meta for tool calls, resource reads, and prompt retrieval. Chat and MCP Apps handlers pass metadata through their request flows. Resource reads can select a server, and tests verify metadata at the MCP wire boundary.
Adds the requestMeta hook and public types. Tool execution passes hook results to MCP calls, where reserved metadata keys are filtered. Tests cover metadata forwarding and hook behavior.
Chat passes metadata hooks to sources and UI resource readers. Resource reads accept metadata and optional server selection; a matching server is selected exclusively, while unmatched IDs fall back across clients.
The MCP Apps handler passes metadata to tools/call. New end-to-end routes record metadata from direct calls, the handler, and chat; the test checks the returned values and reserved-key filtering.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 71b18
Resolve resource ownership and run isolation before merging: affected configurations can send tenant metadata to the wrong server or use another run’s context. Cancellation must also release stalled metadata lookups. Retry metadata and concurrent wire-test recording need bounded corrections.

Explanation
The title "feat(ai, ai-mcp): send request-scoped _meta with MCP requests" matches the main change. The changeset adds per-request MCP _meta through requestMeta on chat({ mcp }) and tools(), and through meta on direct client calls. The title is specific and concise, and it uses the conventional commit scope for the two affected packages.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the required template sections. Its Changes section explains what changed and why, and it lists the affected MCP paths and new API surface. The checklist is filled in, and the changeset and docs boxes are checked, which matches the raw summary (changeset file and docs updates in docs/tools/mcp-managed.md, docs/tools/mcp-manual.md, and docs/mcp/apps.md). The Release Impact section marks the changeset as required. The description also gives testing details and a risk/rollback note. It leaves pnpm run test:pr unchecked and says that it was not run locally, with CI covering it. That is an accurate, disclosed gap, not a missing section. Two items need a closer look: the author's manual-test claim cannot be verified from the summaries, and the description does not state the test:pr checkbox result beyond the note. These gaps are minor.

- Around line 195-199: Update the resource-read routing around `owner` and
`candidates` to retain the tool’s actual owning server rather than relying on
`getInfo().prefix`, which may be empty. When an explicit `serverId` cannot be

pool-wide candidates only when no server ID was provided.

call.requestMeta so the hook runs before every wire request, including
input-response and askInput retries, rather than reusing metadata from the
initial request. Ensure each request uses its newly returned metadata to avoid
stale credentials or duplicate request IDs.
- Around line 631-636: Make the requestMeta wait in the tools/call flow respond
to ctx.abortSignal so aborting the run releases tool execution before
callMcpTool is invoked. Use the existing abort-aware mechanism and preserve the
current metadata behavior when the signal is not aborted.

- Around line 53-54: The shared mcp.readResource handler can be overwritten when
the same UI tool is discovered by multiple runs, causing reads to use another

relying on mutable shared reader state.

`meta` goes on that one request only. The client sends no `_meta` with `tools/list`, `resources/list`, or `prompts/list`.
On a `createMCPClients` pool, `readResource(uri, { serverId, meta })` reads only from the server with that config key. The other servers do not get the `_meta`.

Run requestMeta for each tools/call request.
When a modern tool requests input, its retry reuses the initial _meta without calling requestMeta again. The retry can therefore send a stale credential or duplicate request ID. Invoke the hook before each wire request, including input-response and askInput retries.

vendorfirst, theninternal). It ran twochat()runs at the same time with different tenants. The raw_metathat reached the server:Each run sent only its own tenant. The
serverIdfilter keptvendorfree of meta. The widget read did not go tovendor, which is first in the pool and serves the same URI.To see it yourself:

Low risk. All new options are optional, and calls without them send the same requests as before. One behavior change: a
ui://read fromchat()now goes only to the owning server, when the pool knows itsserverId. To undo, revert this PR.Public API change
