Recommended action: Raise startup_timeout_sec for the server in config.toml (mcp_servers.<name>.startup_timeout_sec), pre-install npx packages; ensure tool schemas are object-typed.
Option: Raise startup_timeout_sec for the server in config.toml (mcp_servers.<name>.startup_timeout_sec), pre-install npx packages; ensure tool schemas are object-typed. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Starting slow MCP servers or calling MCP tools with non-object arguments
Steps:
1. Set mcp_servers.<name>.startup_timeout_sec = 60
2. Pre-install the server package to avoid npx download delay
3. Make the tool inputSchema type object
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
