Server uses wrong protocol version to send response #186

Description

Describe the bug

I'm trying to use protocol version 2025-03-26, setting up the server as follows:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::API
  def mcp2
    configuration = MCP::Configuration.new(protocol_version: "2025-03-26")

    server = MCP::Server.new(
      name: "rails-mcp",
      version: "1.0.0",
      tools: [VerySecretNumberTool],
      configuration: configuration
    )
    render(json: server.handle_json(request.body.read))
  end
end

Server then receives a request with the same protocol version but responds with protocol version 2025-06-18.
