Description

For a streamable HTTP connection, there's currently not a OPTIONS handler so it falls under 405 Method Not Allowed. My use case was to use a frontend mcp client, so this breaks that scenario since we can't make any requests from the frontend because the missing preflight request causes CORS issues on the frontend.

Could we directly add one to StreamableHTTPServerTransport.handle_request ?

It could be something like this:

async def _handle_options_request(self, request: Request, send: Send) -> None:
    """Handle OPTIONS requests for CORS preflight."""

    headers = {
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Content-Type, Authorization",
    }

    response = Response(
        content=None,
        status_code=HTTPStatus.NO_CONTENT,
        headers=headers,
    )
    await response(request.scope, request.receive, send)
