MCP: Overflow Protection for Misbehaving Servers

Entry
JSON All of v2.1.218
EntryKind: in v2.1.218,
ImprovementsSection of the release

New safeguards automatically disconnect MCP servers that produce excessive non-protocol data, preventing unbounded memory growth:

  • HttpBodyOverflowError: An HTTP SSE transport disconnects when a response body exceeds the size limit without an SSE event boundary. The server is likely returning logs or non-protocol data in the response stream.
  • StdoutOverflowError: A stdio transport disconnects when the server writes too much to stdout without a JSON-RPC message boundary. This catches servers writing debug logs to stdout instead of stderr.

Both errors produce a clear diagnostic message including the size at which disconnection occurred.

Evidence

New error classes (search for "without an SSE event boundary" and "without a JSON-RPC message boundary")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
