# RateSpot MCP Timeout Fix Update
## Issue Resolved
Fixed timeout issues where requests were failing after 15 seconds despite the TypeScript source having a 30-second timeout.
## Changes Made
### 1. Main Server Update
- **File**: `ratespot_mcp_server.ts`
- **Status**: Already had correct 30-second timeout
- **Action**: Recompiled TypeScript to ensure JavaScript is up to date
### 2. DXT Extension Update
- **File**: `dxt-extension/server/ratespot_mcp_server.js`
- **Issue**: Had hardcoded 15-second timeout
- **Fix**: Updated from `timeoutMs = 15000` to `timeoutMs = 30000`
- **Action**: Rebuilt DXT package with updated timeout
## Results
- Main server (`ratespot_mcp_server.js`): ✅ 30-second timeout
- DXT extension: ✅ 30-second timeout
- New DXT package: ✅ `ratespot-mcp-1.0.0.dxt` (5.8MB)
## Next Steps
1. **For Claude Desktop users**: Restart Claude Desktop to load the updated server
2. **For DXT installation users**: Use the new `ratespot-mcp-1.0.0.dxt` package
## Why This Happened
The RateSpot API sometimes takes 15-25 seconds to respond, especially for certain ZIP codes like those in Oregon. The 15-second timeout was too short, causing requests to fail even though the API was working correctly.
## Verification
The successful request we saw earlier took 18.14 seconds and returned 726 mortgage products. With the 30-second timeout, these requests should now complete successfully.
