When does this happen?

IF Using the MCP Python SDK to handle notifications from the 'everything' server results in Pydantic validation errors because the server sends a non-standard 'notifications/stderr' notification type that is not in the SDK's ServerNotification union.

How others solved it

THEN Update the 'everything' server to a version that includes the fix from PR #2469, which eliminates the 'notifications/stderr' notification. Alternatively, if you cannot update the server, patch the Python SDK's message handler to silently ignore or custom-handle unknown notification types.
