feat: add MCP elicitation support (form + URL modes)

[datashaman]

Summary

• Implements the MCP 2025-11-25 elicitation specification, allowing servers to request additional information from users mid-tool-execution
• Adds injectable Elicitation service with form() (structured JSON Schema data collection) and url() (external redirects for OAuth/payments) modes
• Includes fluent schema builders for all MCP-specified field types (string, number, integer, boolean, enum, multi-select enum), client capability detection, UrlElicitationRequiredException (-32042), completion notifications, and full testing assertions

Usage

// In a Tool's handle() method — type-hint Elicitation to inject it
public function handle(Request $request, Elicitation $elicitation): Response
{
    $result = $elicitation->form('Please provide your details', function (ElicitSchema $schema) {
        return [
            'name'  => $schema->string('Your Name')->required(),
            'email' => $schema->string('Email')->format('email'),
            'plan'  => $schema->enum('Plan', ['free', 'pro', 'enterprise'])->default('free'),
        ];
    });

    if ($result->accepted()) {
        return Response::text('Hello, '.$result->get('name').'!');
    }

    return Response::text('No details provided.');
}

// URL mode for OAuth/payments
$result = $elicitation->url('Please authorize access', 'https://myapp.com/oauth/authorize');

if ($result->accepted()) {
    $elicitation->notifyComplete($result->elicitationId());
}

// Testing
MyServer::elicitation(['action' => 'accept', 'content' => ['name' => 'Taylor']])
    ->tool(MyTool::class)
    ->assertElicited()
    ->assertElicitedForm('Please provide your details')
    ->assertSee('Hello, Taylor!');

Hi before I start the review, could you confirm you’ve tested this locally and it works? The entire PR looks AI-generated and as this is a very large PR I don’t just want to jump in and review it. Could you please double-check?

[datashaman]

I've tested that elicitation works with STDIO mode in Claude Code.
I struggled to find clients that implement elicitations in HTTP streaming mode, so that's not tested.

[datashaman]

Hmm, I have not given it a runthrough via MCP Inspector. Please hold off on reviewing this until I get back to you. That will support everything.

[datashaman]

The MCP Inspector does not support HTTP elicitations.
Neither does Claude Code.
:(

Can you point me to relevant issue ? i can see the elicitation support in mcp isnpetor fr http server/
