Hello there. I’m having intermittent (mostly failing) MCP connection issues across a broad number of AI clients (MCP Inspector, Claude) as well as on our MCP security gateway (barndoor.ai). I tracked it down to OAuth flow taking too long. 

  • Metadata discover (fast)
  • Dynamic client registration (1.5s)
  • Auth - granting permission (15.5s+)
  • Token request/exchange (12.5s+)

Those last two steps are likely causing the timeouts we’re seeing on AI clients as well as on the gateway.
