From 5ccb9241be15bb6a19b99fbbfb27ff3356ba157b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kaoru0822 <208281322+kaoru0822-kitauji@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 02:31:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf(mcp): advertise each tool JSON Schema once per target (#1059) The MCP SDK reconverts every registered Zod schema on each tools/list. With 139 tools that is ~45 ms of Zod JSON Schema work per listing, for a catalog that cannot change after registration. Memoize the advertised input and output projections per target on the registration clones. Listings are byte-identical; repeated tools/list drops from ~62 ms to ~18 ms on the stdio server.
