Closes modelcontextprotocol#2626. Real-world MCP servers occasionally return structured_content that does not match their advertised outputSchema. The client currently raises a RuntimeError and drops the result, leaving the caller no escape hatch. This adds a validate_structured_output keyword on ClientSession and Client (default True, so existing behavior is preserved) that lets callers opt out of strict validation when interoperating with non-conformant servers. When validation is disabled, the client logs a debug message and returns the result unchanged. Tests cover both the default-on and opt-out modes.

Thanks for the PR. Per our CONTRIBUTING.md we ask that PRs start from a linked, triaged issue with maintainer buy-in, which this one doesn't have yet. Closing this as part of a wider backlog cleanup around the v2 release. If it's still relevant, feel free to reopen. |

Closes #2626.
Real-world MCP servers occasionally return structured_content that does not match their advertised outputSchema. The client currently raises a RuntimeError and drops the result, leaving the caller no escape hatch. This adds a
validate_structured_outputkeyword onClientSessionandClient(defaultTrue, so existing behavior is preserved) that lets callers opt out of strict validation when interoperating with non-conformant servers.When validation is disabled, the client logs a debug message and returns the result unchanged. The motivating case in the issue is a server whose output schema lists a closed set of string literals but is missing one of the values it actually emits; the structured content is otherwise usable and is better surfaced to the caller than dropped.
Tests cover both the default-on path (still raises) and the opt-out path (returns the invalid structured_content and emits a debug log).
