💡 MCP tool output is content blocks; structured data usually arrives as serialized text.
发生场景
Source(s): https://x.com/i/status/2101159762440450280 Status: reported fixed by source, not reproduced by us.
问题
Parsing the response gives a string instead of the expected object.
适用环境
Calling an MCP server directly (JSON-RPC) without an agent client.
如何确认是这个问题
result.content[0].text is a string starting with { or [.
不是这个问题时 / 边界
Content type is image/resource.
根因
Tool output comes back as content blocks; servers commonly put serialized JSON in result.content[].text, so it's JSON inside JSON.
修复步骤
- Parse the JSON-RPC response.
- Take
result.content[0].textand parse it again → expect: the structured object. - If the server provides it, read
structuredContentinstead.
