Code Review
The pull request introduces a new MCP server for Google's LiteRT-LM, enabling text generation inference via a CLI wrapper. The implementation includes necessary error handling for unsupported multimodal inputs and cross-platform fixes for Windows asyncio loop policy. The README.md provides good instructions for setup and usage. However, there are a few areas for improvement regarding consistency between documentation and implementation, error handling specifics, and robustness of the stdio communication on Windows.
| * `image_path` (string, optional): Path to an image file for multimodal inference. | ||
| * `audio_path` (string, optional): Path to an audio file for multimodal inference. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The README.md lists image_path and audio_path as optional arguments. However, the server.py explicitly returns an error if these are provided, stating that multimodal input is not yet supported via the CLI wrapper. To avoid confusion, please update the README to clearly state this limitation or remove these arguments from the documentation until they are supported.

Raising a generic Exception for unknown methods is not ideal. JSON-RPC defines specific error codes for such scenarios (e.g., -32601 for 'Method not found'). Consider returning a JSON-RPC error response with a more appropriate error code and message for better client-side error handling.

This try-except block is empty and serves no functional purpose, making the comment "Check if binary exists (simple check)" misleading. The FileNotFoundError is caught later, but this block adds unnecessary code. Please remove this block or implement a proper check for the binary's existence using shutil.which or os.path.exists if an early check is desired.

The comment "Windows fallback (simplified, might not work perfectly with async stdio without extra loop config)" indicates a potential reliability issue for Windows users. While asyncio.set_event_loop_policy is set, relying on print as a fallback might not guarantee consistent JSON-RPC communication. It would be beneficial to ensure a robust stdio communication mechanism for all supported platforms.

Silently passing AttributeError and BrokenPipeError can hide underlying issues. While BrokenPipeError might be expected on client disconnect, AttributeError could indicate a programming error. It's generally good practice to at least log these exceptions, even if they are handled, to aid in debugging and understanding unexpected behavior.

This try-except block contains only a pass statement and serves no purpose. The comment suggests checking if the binary exists, but no actual validation is performed. Consider removing this dead code or implementing actual binary validation using shutil.which.

Inconsistent indentation: this return statement and the error message use extra leading space. Python code should use consistent 4-space indentation. The same issue appears on lines 217-218.

Missing input validation for the required prompt parameter. The prompt is retrieved but never validated to ensure it's not None or empty before being passed to the command line. This could lead to unclear error messages from the lit binary.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The example demonstrates multimodal inference with an image_path, but the documentation and implementation both state that multimodal inputs are not currently supported. This creates confusion. Either remove the image_path from the example or provide a text-only example that matches the current capabilities.

Potential command injection vulnerability: user-provided inputs (prompt, model_path, backend) are passed directly to subprocess without validation or sanitization. While asyncio.create_subprocess_exec with separate arguments is safer than shell=True, the prompt could still contain special characters that might cause issues. Consider validating the backend parameter against the allowed enum values and sanitizing the prompt string.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The Windows fallback has an empty pass statement and leaves writer as None. While this is handled later in the code with a print() fallback, it's inconsistent with other MCP servers in the codebase. The cloudflare_server.py (line 195), code_analysis_server.py (line 215), and video_agent_server.py (line 232) all have explicit print() fallback logic without the extra try-except. Consider following the same pattern for consistency.

| image_path = args.get("image_path") | ||
| audio_path = args.get("audio_path") | ||
| backend = args.get("backend", "cpu") |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The backend parameter validation only happens at the JSON schema level but not in the code. Since the inputSchema defines an enum with valid values ["cpu", "gpu", "npu"], you should validate that the backend parameter actually matches one of these values before passing it to the command line. This prevents potential issues if invalid backend values are passed.
| backend = args.get("backend", "cpu") | |
| backend = args.get("backend", "cpu") | |
| valid_backends = {"cpu", "gpu", "npu"} | |
| if backend not in valid_backends: | |
| return { | |

Bug: The print() fallback for sending responses adds an extra newline because response_str already contains one, resulting in a double newline that violates the MCP specification.
Severity: MEDIUM
Suggested Fix
Modify the print calls on lines 282 and 284 to print(response_str, end='', flush=True). This will prevent print() from appending its default newline, ensuring that only the single newline already present in response_str is sent.
Prompt for AI Agent
Review the code at the location below. A potential bug has been identified by an AI
agent.
Verify if this is a real issue. If it is, propose a fix; if not, explain why it's not
valid.
Location: mcp-servers/litert-mcp/server.py#L282
Potential issue: The code constructs `response_str` with a trailing newline. When this
string is passed to `print()` on lines 282 and 284, `print()` adds its own default
newline, resulting in a double newline (`\n\n`) being sent. This occurs on Windows
(where the `print()` path is always used) and when the `writer.drain()` operation fails.
This behavior violates the Model Context Protocol specification, which mandates exactly
one newline per message. While some clients might strip whitespace and tolerate this, it
is a protocol violation that can cause issues with stricter parsers.
