+  Arbitrary experimental capabilities to advertise in the MCP `initialize` response. Use this to declare cross-server interop conventions or draft extensions that follow the MCP spec's `experimental` field. Keys are capability names; values are free-form dicts. FastMCP's built-in derived capabilities (`tools`, `resources`, etc.) are unaffected — this only populates `capabilities.experimental`
