Recommended action: Send all logs to stderr (console.error / logging to sys.stderr) or a file; remove startup banners; audit dependencies that print to stdout.
Fix: Move all logging to stderr [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Any stdio MCP server
Steps:
1. Replace console.log with console.error (Node) or log to sys.stderr (Python)
2. Remove startup banners
3. Run server manually and confirm stdout only emits JSON-RPC lines
Expected: Client parses messages; no JSON errors
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
