The MCP protocol specification includes a _meta parameter that allows clients to pass request-specific metadata. This commit adds automatic extraction of this parameter and makes it available to tools and prompts as a nested field within server_context. Key changes: - Extract _meta from request params in call_tool and get_prompt methods - Pass _meta as a nested field in server_context (server_context[:_meta]) - Only create context when there's either server_context or _meta present - Add comprehensive tests for _meta extraction and nesting - Update documentation with _meta usage examples and link to spec This maintains compatibility with TypeScript and Python SDKs which also nest _meta within the context rather than merging it at the top level.

Summary
This PR adds native support for the MCP protocol's
_metaparameter, eliminating the need for manual extraction in controllers.Background
The MCP specification defines a
_metafield that allows clients to pass request-specific metadata. Previously, Ruby SDK users had to manually extract this field from request parameters.Changes

Breaking Changes
None - this is backwards compatible. Tools that don't use
server_contextor don't access_metawill continue to work unchanged.Notes
While implementing this feature, we discovered that the README incorrectly states that server_context is passed to exception and instrumentation callbacks, though the actual implementation only passes contextual error information to these callbacks.
