Dear MCP Team,

Hi there! I'm a university student from China, currently exploring the integration of Node.js with MCP, OpenAI, and DeepSeek. First of all, thank you so much for creating such a promising and elegant protocol—it's been a joy learning and experimenting with it! ✨

While following the Node.js Quickstart guide, I noticed a couple of small issues in the Server Connection Management example that might benefit from a quick review.

In the code snippet, the object uses a property named , but based on actual tool objects and testing, it appears that the correct name should be using camelCase. This mismatch may cause subtle bugs for developers copying the sample code directly from the docs.toolinput_schemainputSchema

Additionally, I observed that the line is used without . Since is declared as an async function, and is awaited immediately after, this could potentially lead to a race condition if is asynchronous under the hood. If that's the case, it might be safer to write , or perhaps a short clarification in the documentation could help readers better understand the connection flow.this.mcp.connect(this.transport);awaitconnectToServerthis.mcp.listTools()connect()await this.mcp.connect(this.transport);

These are relatively small details, but smoothing them out could greatly improve the developer experience—especially for those who are still getting used to async/await and working with AI toolchains.

Thank you again for your amazing work on MCP. I'm excited to see how the protocol evolves and grows in the community!

Warm regards,
小雨
