Display SDK/Inspector Version number Visually in Inspector UI

Open dhodun opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

While creating this bug https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector/issues/137, I had to load up the package version on CLI. For a lower-level debug tool like MCP Inspector, would be nice to see the verison of the tool / SDK we're working with visually somewhere, in the corner, etc.

I started looking into this a while back when debugging servers, but got stuck on the fact that MCP servers can be written in different languages and wasn't sure how to consistently get the server version. Maybe I was overthinking it.

For the SDK part, when you say SDK do you mean the MCP typescript SDK?

Looking at this one again:

I think if this gets accepted and followed consistently we could display the server version in a more universal way by just looking at the MCP server version.

Closing this as we have since added Inspector version at top left and server version is visible in the initialize response
