get_file_contents fails to parse the response

[asaf-shohet-ma]

Describe the bug

get_file_contents returns (today) this format:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":7,"result":{"content":[{"type":"text","text":"successfully downloaded text file"},{"type":"resource","resource":{"uri":"repo://MY_ORG/MY_REPO/contents/logic/index.js","mimeType":"text/plain; charset=utf-8","text":"module.exports = require('./src/tasks-service');\n"}}]}}

When using get_file_contents, and getting such response, cursor continues with an error:
"content type 'resource' not supported"

Affected version

Taken from docker logs:
GitHub MCP Server running on stdio
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{"logging":{},"resources":{"subscribe":true,"listChanged":true},"tools":{"listChanged":true}},"serverInfo":{"name":"github-mcp-server","version":"v0.5.0"}}}

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Ask to summarize readme in some repo.
eg https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server

Expected vs actual behavior

readme summarized.

Actual:

"content type 'resource' not supported"

Previously (from memory) github used to return response in base64... so perhaps something had changed in the response

Logs

Paste any available logs. Redact if needed.

It appears that this needs to be fixed in Cursor, and not in the mcp, so closing the issue.
