When does this happen?
IF MCP client initializes session via streamablehttp_client but server responds with unexpected content type (e.g., text/html) instead of MCP JSON stream.
How others solved it
THEN The client should validate the response content type before proceeding. If the content type is not 'application/json' or 'text/event-stream', raise an exception with a descriptive error message instead of silently printing a warning. This allows callers to catch and handle connection failures gracefully.
async def _validate_content_type(response):
content_type = response.headers.get('content-type', '')
if 'application/json' not in content_type and 'text/event-stream' not in content_type:
raise ValueError(f"Unexpected content type: {content_type}")Related patterns
