2025-07-25T16:13:22.027Z [mcp-nova] [info] Server transport closed unexpectedly, this is likely due to the process exiting early. If you are developing this MCP server you can add output to stderr (i.e. console.error('...') in JavaScript, print('...', file=sys.stderr) in python) and it will appear in this log. { metadata: undefined }
