From 6df97a9dcf129778ea930cf41e10a25f742cd7f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Claude4=CE=9Elope?= Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2025 21:49:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix Claude Desktop timeout issue in server mode MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The server was hanging on initialize requests because: 1. It was calling browser.initialize() at startup which tried to connect to upstream servers 2. It was using blocking stdin.read(4096) instead of line-based reading Fixed by: - Removing premature initialization in server mode (let it happen lazily) - Switching to readline() for proper line-based JSON-RPC handling - Adding proper error responses for malformed JSON This resolves the 60-second timeout error when Claude Desktop tries to connect. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- mcp_browser/__main__.py | 172 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 119 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) diff --git a/mcp_browser/__main__.py b/mcp_browser/__main__.py index a23a9f7..ff8fb08 100644 --- a/mcp_browser/__main__.py +++ b/mcp_browser/__main__.py @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ import yaml from .proxy import MCPBrowser from .config import ConfigLoader from .default_configs import ConfigManager -from .daemon import MCPBrowserDaemon, MCPBrowserClient, get_socket_path, is_daemon_running +from .daemon import MCPBrowserDaemon, MCPBrowserClient, get_socket_path, is_daemon_running, kill_daemon_with_children from .logging_config import setup_logging, get_logger @@ -362,8 +362,14 @@ async def start_daemon_background(args): socket_path = get_socket_path(args.server) if is_daemon_running(socket_path): -
