Root cause

An MCP server is slow to respond (cold start, heavy query) and exceeds the default tool timeout.

How to reproduce

Call a tool from a slow MCP server (e.g. a DB query) and it times out.

#1Applies to 1.0.9

Warm up the MCP server before use, or reduce the work per call (smaller queries, pagination) so it answers within the timeout.

Check the server's own logs — a crash or unhandled promise often surfaces as a client-side timeout.
