Troubleshooting
Operation Timed Out
If you encounter an "Operation timed out" error, it means the request to the AI agent service is taking longer than the server's default internal timeout. You can resolve this by increasing the timeout value in your Cline MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-agent-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@avi/mcp-ai-agent-server"],
"timeout": 300000, // 5 minutes
"env": {
"AI_AGENT_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
"AI_AGENT_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:3000"
}
}
}
}
