Closing: superseded by the v2 release.
Thank you for reporting this, and apologies for the long wait for a response.
Since this was filed, the reference servers have been rebuilt for the 2026-07-28 MCP specification (#4857) and released as v2 (2.0.0 on npm for the TypeScript servers, 2026.10.19 on PyPI for the Python servers). Each server now runs on v2 of its SDK, and the behavior described here has either been fixed or no longer exists in the same form. A stdio MCP server prints nothing while it waits for a client, so no output is expected; this was a setup report against a pre-refactor release with no defect identified in current code.
This is not a judgment on whether the problem was real; it's a consequence of the code it describes having been replaced. This is happening as part of the backlog triage in #4875.
If this still happens on the v2 release, we'd genuinely like to know. Please open a fresh issue with the version you're running and steps to reproduce, and we'll look at it. Note that this repository accepts contributions as issues rather than pull requests; see
CONTRIBUTING.md.Thanks for taking the time to report it.
