MCP servers that flood the connection are cut off instead of endlessly eating memory.

What

Two new errors cut off a misbehaving MCP server: one for an oversized HTTP response body, one for a server that writes logs to stdout instead of stderr and so never produces a message boundary. Before this, that output accumulated without limit.

Details
  • The stdio transport records the overflow error and closes the connection on the next tick rather than mid-read.
  • The stdout error message names the likely cause directly, so the fix is to move server logging to stderr.
Evidence

without a JSON-RPC message boundary. The server is likely writing logs or other non-protocol data to stdout instead of stderr.

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