What happened?
When I use an MCP server, along with JSON output, you get messages being printed to stdout before the json output, thus making it impossible to pipe-parse the output from gemini-cli with jq, eg:
gemini --yolo --prompt "${INPUT_COMMAND}" --output-format json 2> "${TEMP_STDERR}" 1> "${TEMP_STDOUT}"
On stdout you get:
Prompts updated for server: githubResources updated for server: githubTools updated for server: github{
"session_id": "504f1f1c-fe88-42c0-8aa1-8c2237db8937",
"response": "WHAT IS 5+5? IT'S 10!",
"stats": {
This appears to be coming from the MCP client
|
`Resources updated for server: ${this.serverName}`, |
What did you expect to happen?
informational messages like this should really go to stdout.
if stdout is also expected to be json however in output-mode=json, i'm not sure what to suggest.
