November 2025 (2025-11) monthly summary for apache/dubbo. Focused on reliability, robustness, and configurability of HTTP SSE and message handling. Key fixes include ensuring Server-Side Events (SSE) uses the correct content type (text/event-stream) and honors the configured MCP message path, preventing misrouted events; memory leak prevention by destroying HttpPostRequestDecoder to ensure proper resource management; and introducing a configurable maximum message size with validation to guard against oversized payloads. All changes were accompanied by tests, code-quality improvements, and CI hygiene updates to improve stability and maintainability.

2025-10 Monthly Summary – Apache Dubbo (apache/dubbo): Delivered Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration into the Dubbo framework, enabling dynamic service registration and enhanced exposure with new service control annotations, improved logging, and configurable MCP/SSE options. Implemented the MCP integration by moving the MCP SDK into the Dubbo plugin, added configuration options for MCP, switches, and SSE ports, and optimized port selection when configurations are not provided. Enhanced error handling with explicit errorCode, updated sessions to ExpiringCache, and added unit tests. Introduced @DubboService for service control, and added @McpTool and @McpToolParam to support customized exposure of MCP services. Enabled dynamic MCP tool registration and correct URL-based configuration parsing. Extended support for streamable services (SSE) and fixed associated logging/formatting issues.
