+## Server API changes
+
+### `McpStatelessSyncServer#closeGracefully` returns `void`
+
+In 1.x, `McpStatelessSyncServer.closeGracefully()` accidentally leaked the reactive signature from the underlying async server and returned `Mono<Void>`. The sync API is intentionally blocking, so returning a `Mono` was an oversight — callers had to call `.block()` themselves to get any actual shutdown behaviour.
+
+In 2.0 the return type is corrected to `void`; the blocking call is performed internally.
+
+**Action:** Remove any `.block()` (or `.subscribe()`) call you had appended to `closeGracefully()`. The method now blocks until the server has shut down and returns normally.
+

 ## New features
 
 These are additive and backward-compatible.
