I think @anthropic.com's Model Context Protocol is fascinating. I've been re-implementing the stdio and sse protocols to understand the inner workings and am at the MVP stage. I'm exposing a custom weather tool that always responds with `"sunny with a chance of meatballs"` 🤣. Claude is onto me.

Would it be considered invalid for a server to receive a request other than initialize before completing the initial handshake?

I kinda wish there were some stronger guarantees than "should not" Requests during the initial handshake. IMHO, this shifts complexity from the Client to the Server in a way that seems at odds with the spec's goals. I could be willing to make an exception for "ping" but even there, why?
