Recommended action: Pre-install the server (global npm install / uv tool install) so startup is fast, point command at the installed binary, and read the appended stderr for the real failure.
Option: Pre-install the server (global npm install / uv tool install) so startup is fast, point command at the installed binary, and read the appended stderr for the real failure. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Starting a stdio MCP server (command/args) from mcp.json or inline config
Steps:
1. Run the command manually and time the startup.
2. Pre-install dependencies to avoid first-run downloads.
3. Make sure nothing but JSON-RPC goes to stdout.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
