AddedUpdateidentified#7
Before: not present
After: Starburst Galaxy's MCP server is returning an error for every tool call from MCP clients using the newest protocol revision, 2026-07-28. Sign-in, discovery and tool listing are unaffected, and clients on revision 2025-11-25 are not affected. Workaround: pin your MCP client to protocol revision 2025-11-25, which has been confirmed to restore tool calls. We are investigating and will post an update as soon as we have one.
AddedUpdateidentified#8
Before: not present
After: We've identified an issue causing MCP tool calls to fail with a protocol error for Galaxy MCP users (both mcp-starburst and mcp-starburst-public, all auth methods). A fix is in progress. Workaround (Claude Code users): setting "MCP_PROTOCOL_NEGOTIATION": "legacy" in ~/.claude/settings.json mitigates the issue. Other MCP clients (Gemini CLI, Cursor, Continue.dev, Cline) aren't currently affected, since they default to an older protocol revision.

Before: not present
After: This incident is now resolved. All impacted MCP calls should now be operating as expected.
