When does this happen?
IF MCP server errors (e.g., missing required environment variables) are not captured by the client, leading to confusion.
How others solved it
THEN Configure the MCP client to handle server-side logging messages by setting a notification handler for LoggingMessageNotificationSchema. On the server side, use server.sendLoggingMessage to send error details. This allows the client to display or log server errors for debugging.
// Server-side
server.sendLoggingMessage({ level: "error", data: "Missing required environment variable" });
// Client-side
client.setNotificationHandler(LoggingMessageNotificationSchema, (notification) => {
console.error(notification);
