From 23ec461c74bb0c7b130f3c652654cc0adf4d5457 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dcherrera Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 22:06:16 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 01/23] Fix: Move receive() outside repeat loop to fix stream consumption The Client was calling connection.receive() inside a repeat loop, which meant it was trying to iterate the same stream multiple times. Async streams can only be iterated once. This fix moves the receive() call outside the loop so the stream is obtained once and iterated continuously. This fixes the issue where ProcessTransport (and potentially other transports) would yield messages but the Client would not consume them. --- Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift | 61 +++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 33 deletions(-) diff --git a/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift b/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift index 696ffd14..37794393 100644 --- a/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift +++ b/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift @@ -179,43 +179,38 @@ public actor Client { // Start message handling loop task = Task { guard let connection = self.connection else { return } - repeat { - // Check for cancellation before starting the iteration - if Task.isCancelled { break } - do { - let stream = await connection.receive() - for try await data in stream { - if Task.isCancelled { break } // Check inside loop too - - // Attempt to decode data - // Try decoding as a batch response first - if let batchResponse = try? decoder.decode([AnyResponse].self, from: data) { - await handleBatchResponse(batchResponse) - } else if let response = try? decoder.decode(AnyResponse.self, from: data) { - await handleResponse(response) - } else if let message = try? decoder.decode(AnyMessage.self, from: data) { - await handleMessage(message) - } else { - var metadata: Logger.Metadata = [:] - if let string = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { - metadata["message"] = .string(string) - } - await logger?.warning( - "Unexpected message received by client (not single/batch response or notification)", - metadata: metadata - ) + // Get stream once - don't call receive() repeatedly + let stream = await connection.receive() + + do { + for try await data in stream { + if Task.isCancelled { break } + + // Attempt to decode data + // Try decoding as a batch response first + if let batchResponse = try? decoder.decode([AnyResponse].self, from: data) { + await handleBatchResponse(batchResponse) + } else if let response = try? decoder.decode(AnyResponse.self, from: data) { + await handleResponse(response) + } else if let message = try? decoder.decode(AnyMessage.self, from: data) { + await handleMessage(message) + } else { + var metadata: Logger.Metadata = [:] + if let string = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { + metadata["message"] = .string(string) } + await logger?.warning( + "Unexpected message received by client (not single/batch response or notification)", + metadata: metadata + ) } - } catch let error where MCPError.isResourceTemporarilyUnavailable(error) { - try? await Task.sleep(for: .milliseconds(10)) - continue - } catch { - await logger?.error( - "Error in message handling loop", metadata: ["error": "\(error)"]) - break } - } while true + } catch { + await logger?.error( + "Error in message handling loop", metadata: ["error": "\(error)"]) + } + await self.logger?.debug("Client message handling loop task is terminating.") } From 21f93c990a27f9e50aaabc17bbb9413758d6b431 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dcherrera Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 22:27:59 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 02/23] Add debug logging to track stream consumption --- Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift b/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift index 37794393..ba57b5bf 100644 --- a/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift +++ b/Sources/MCP/Client/Client.swift @@ -181,10 +181,13 @@ public actor Client { guard let connection = self.connection else { return } // Get stream once - don't call receive() repeatedly + await logger?.debug("CLIENT: Getting stream from connection.receive()") let stream = await connection.receive() + await logger?.debug("CLIENT: Got stream, starting for-await loop") do { for try await data in stream { + await logger?.debug("CLIENT: Received data in loop", metadata: ["size": "\(data.count)"]) if Task.isCancelled { break } // Attempt to decode data From e3e9973c4b381d7e00b8eba4d4cd8b0547d92b49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dcherrera Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 22:33:01 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 03/23] Fix deadlock: Yield control before initialize MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CRITICAL BUG FIX: The message handling Task was created but never started executing because connect() immediately called initialize() which blocked waiting for a response.
