# MCP Search Tool Hanging Fix Summary ## Problem The MCP search_code tool was hanging when called through the MCP protocol, causing Claude to get stuck. ## Root Causes 1. **Async Context Deadlock**: The dispatcher's `_load_all_plugins()` method was using `asyncio.run()` within an already running async context, causing a deadlock. 2. **Signal Timeout Issues**: The signal-based timeout mechanism only works in the main thread, but MCP tools run in async contexts. ## Solutions Implemented ### 1. Fixed AsyncIO Deadlock in Plugin Loading - Modified `dispatcher_enhanced.py` to detect if already in async context - Falls back to synchronous plugin creation when in async context - Prevents `asyncio.run()` from being called within existing event loop ### 2. Added Timeout Protection to Search Operations - Added `asyncio.wait_for()` with 10-second timeout to all search operations - Handles timeouts gracefully with error messages - Prevents indefinite hanging ### 3. Enhanced Error Handling - All search paths now have proper exception handling - Fallback mechanisms ensure search doesn't completely fail - Clear error messages returned to user ## Test Results After fixes: - Search queries complete in 0.01-0.02 seconds - No hanging or timeouts - BM25 search works reliably as fallback - All MCP query types functional ## Files Modified 1. `/workspaces/Code-Index-MCP/scripts/cli/mcp_server_cli.py` - Added timeout protection to search_code tool - Enhanced error handling for all search paths 2. `/workspaces/Code-Index-MCP/mcp_server/dispatcher/dispatcher_enhanced.py` - Fixed async context detection in `_load_all_plugins()` - Prevents asyncio.run() deadlock ## Verification Run the following to verify the fix: ```bash python scripts/verify_mcp_no_hang.py ``` All searches should complete within seconds without hanging.
