Reasoning behind the issue
dotnet runcommand outputslaunchSettings.jsonusage messages to stdout, which the MCP server reads as incoming messages.RunCommand.csprintsReporter.Output.WriteLineunconditionally to stdout; the user can’t easily redirect this viadotnet runwithout code changes.The
TryGetLaunchProfileSettingsIfNeededmethod prints a message like:directly via:
If the project logs are being sent to stdout, VS Code (or any LSP client) can interpret that as a protocol message. MCP servers expect JSON-RPC messages on stdout, so any other output (like this “Using launch settings from …”) is considered a malformed message, triggering:
This is only a warning — the server still works, but the message pollutes the LSP/JSON-RPC stream.
