Why this happens

GitHub Issue #2610 on modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk (updated 2026-05-18). RequestResponder.__exit__ leaks CancelledError killing stdio receive loop. Affects mcp 1.26.0 and 1.27.1 confirmed with FastMCP 3.1.x and Claude Code as host. This is a critical reliability issue for anyone using Claude Code or custom MCP integrations in production workflows. Exact root cause and fix identified. High commercial impact because MCP/AI coding tool failure directly blocks development.
