描述
StdioClientTransport starts and manages a child MCP server process. During graceful shutdown, the SDK transport currently calls process.destroy() and waits for process.onExit().
That works when the child process responds to SIGTERM, but it can hang indefinitely if the child process ignores termination or becomes stuck. Downstream, we had to implement a custom McpClientTransport to ensure proxied MCP server processes are always cleaned up when the parent shuts down.
Current behavior
The current shutdown flow is effectively:
if (this.process != null) {
this.process.destroy();
return Mono.fromFuture(process.onExit());
}
There is no configurable timeout and no fallback to destroyForcibly().
Expected behavior
StdioClientTransport.closeGracefully() should support bounded process termination:
- Stop accepting new messages.
- Complete the transport sinks.
- Send graceful termination with
process.destroy(). - Wait up to a configurable timeout.
- If the process is still alive, call
process.destroyForcibly(). - Dispose the transport schedulers.
This guarantees that child MCP server processes do not survive parent shutdown indefinitely.
Proposed fix
Add a configurable process termination timeout to StdioClientTransport, with a sensible default.
Conceptually:
process.destroy();
return Mono.fromFuture(process.onExit())
.timeout(processTerminationTimeout, Mono.defer(() -> {
if (process.isAlive()) {
process.destroyForcibly();
}
return Mono.fromFuture(process.onExit());
}));
This could be exposed through the existing ServerParameters builder or a dedicated StdioClientTransport constructor/builder option.
Suggested regression test
Add a test with a child process that ignores SIGTERM or does not exit promptly.
The test should verify that:
closeGracefully()completes within the configured timeout plus a small buffer.- The child process is no longer alive after
closeGracefully()completes. - The transport schedulers and sinks are cleaned up.

调研方向
从 StdioClientTransport.closeGracefully() 开始,检查 ServerParameters 如何配置 transport,以及如何等待 process.onExit()。添加可配置的 termination timeout,然后使用忽略 SIGTERM 的 child process 运行或添加建议的 regression test。完成的标准是 shutdown 在 timeout buffer 内完成,强制终止仍存活的 child,并清理 schedulers 和 sinks。
