storeEvent in EventStore Receives Hardcoded `streamId`

[CahidArda]

Describe the bug

I'm writing an EventStore using Redis. There can be several users, whose data must be seperate. But since streamId is sometimes hardcoded as _GET_stream, I can't distinguish the users in storeEvent. If I do something like the one in InMemoryEventStore, I think all users will be able to read the same stream (_GET_stream)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a console.log to storeEvent method of InMemoryEventStore

async storeEvent(streamId: string, message: JSONRPCMessage): Promise<string> {
  const eventId = this.generateEventId(streamId);
  console.log(streamId, eventId);
  
  this.events.set(eventId, { streamId, message });
  return eventId;
}

2. Start server at src/examples/server/simpleStreamableHttp.ts
3. Start client at src/examples/client/simpleStreamableHttp.ts
4. In the client, run multi-greet hey
5. Check the logs of the server:

_GET_stream _GET_stream_1759497356533_y5aw8vh7
_GET_stream _GET_stream_1759497357535_3hvrf2jx
_GET_stream _GET_stream_1759497358537_5pb6ci89

streamId is _GET_stream in each one. Yes, eventId makes it possible to differenciate them. In replayEventsAfter, these events are sorted and returned after the lastEventId. But now imagine that this is in production and this.events is a list or stream on Redis. All users get the same streamId in storeEvent. There is no way to differentiate their streams.

Expected behavior

There should be a way to differentiate users in storeEvent, instead of getting the same streamId.

Could you clarify why combining the streamId with sessionId or user context in your EventStore implementation wouldn't work for your use case? That seems like the intended pattern for user isolation.

confirmed bug. _standaloneSseStreamId is hardcoded to '_GET_stream' for every transport instance (streamableHttp.ts:234), so all sessions write GET SSE events to the same key in any shared EventStore — making per-session isolation impossible for backends like Redis.

workaround: implement getStreamIdForEventId in your EventStore and use the eventId (which does contain a unique token) as the lookup key, but this doesn't solve the streamId partitioning problem directly.

repro, output, and code path

repro script (repro.mjs at repo root):

import { WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport as StreamableHTTPServerTransport } from "./packages/server/dist/index.mjs";

class TrackingEventStore {
  calls = [];
  counter = 0;
  async storeEvent(streamId, message) {
    this.calls.push({ streamId, message });
    return `evt_${++this.counter}`;
  }
  async replayEventsAfter() { return "_GET_stream"; }
  async getStreamIdForEventId() { return undefined; }
}

const store = new TrackingEventStore();
const transport1 = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({ sessionIdGenerator: () => "session-AAA", eventStore: store });
const transport2 = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({ sessionIdGenerator: () => "session-BBB", eventStore: store });

const id1 = transport1["_standaloneSseStreamId"];
const id2 = transport2["_standaloneSseStreamId"];
console.log("transport1._standaloneSseStreamId:", id1);
console.log("transport2._standaloneSseStreamId:", id2);
console.log("Both share same hardcoded streamId:", id1 === id2);

await store.storeEvent(id1, { jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notifications/message", params: { data: "msg from session A" } });
await store.storeEvent(id2, { jsonrpc: "2.0", method: "notifications/message", params: { data: "msg from session B" } });

for (const call of store.calls) {
  console.log(`streamId="${call.streamId}"  data="${call.message.params.data}"`);
}

command and output:

$ node repro.mjs
transport1._standaloneSseStreamId: _GET_stream
transport2._standaloneSseStreamId: _GET_stream
Both share same hardcoded streamId: true

streamId="_GET_stream"  data="notification for session A"
streamId="_GET_stream"  data="notification for session B"

Bug: both sessions produce streamId = _GET_stream

code path:

• packages/server/src/server/streamableHttp.ts:234 — field initialised unconditionally: private _standaloneSseStreamId: string = '_GET_stream';
• sessionId is only assigned later at line 678 during the first POST (initialize request)
• line 964 — eventId = await this._eventStore.storeEvent(this._standaloneSseStreamId, message); — always passes '_GET_stream'
• _streamMapping also keyed on this constant (lines 433, 449, 465, 469, 937, 967) so the getter approach covers all uses cleanly

branch status: present on both main and origin/v1.x (v1.x file: src/server/webStandardStreamableHttp.ts:219 / storeEvent call at line 952) — backport needed.

suggested fix

// packages/server/src/server/streamableHttp.ts
-    private _standaloneSseStreamId: string = '_GET_stream';
+    private get _standaloneSseStreamId(): string {
+        return this.sessionId ? `_GET_stream_${this.sessionId}` : '_GET_stream';
+    }

the same one-line change is needed on origin/v1.x at src/server/webStandardStreamableHttp.ts:219.

test to verify: two transports with separate event stores are both initialized, then each calls transport.send(notification) without a relatedRequestId; the streamId passed to eventStore.storeEvent must differ between the two transports and must not equal the bare '_GET_stream'.
