When does this happen?

IF Node.js throws ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED when importing @modelcontextprotocol/sdk in an ESM project.

How others solved it

THEN Update the SDK's package.json to include explicit "exports" fields that map entry points for both ESM and CJS consumers. Define separate exports for ESM (e.g., using a .mjs extension) and CJS (e.g., .cjs or index.js) to satisfy modern Node.js module resolution. Ensure the main entry point is listed under "exports".

"exports": {
  ".": {
    "import": "./dist/esm/index.js",
    "require": "./dist/cjs/index.js"
  }
}
