Enhanced Roo Code profile with MCP timeout configuration for improved reliability during long-running AI operations. The Roo profile now automatically configures a 300-second timeout for MCP server operations, preventing timeouts during complex tasks like `parse-prd`, `expand-all`, `analyze-complexity`, and `research` operations. This change also replaces static MCP configuration files with programmatic generation for better maintainability.
**What's New:**
- 300-second timeout for MCP operations (up from default 60 seconds)
- Programmatic MCP configuration generation (replaces static asset files)
- Enhanced reliability for AI-powered operations
- Consistent with other AI coding assistant profiles
**Migration:** No user action required - existing Roo Code installations will automatically receive the enhanced MCP configuration on next initialization.

- **Location:**
- For CLI usage: Create a `.env` file in your project root.
- For MCP/Cursor usage: Configure keys in the `env` section of your `.cursor/mcp.json` file.
## MCP Timeout Configuration
For MCP usage, it's important to configure appropriate timeouts for long-running AI operations:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"task-master-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "task-master-ai"],
"timeout": 300,
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
```
**Key points:**
- **Default MCP timeout**: 60 seconds (often insufficient for AI operations)
- **Recommended timeout**: 300 seconds (5 minutes)
- **Operations that benefit**: `parse_prd`, `expand_task`, `analyze_project_complexity`, `research`
- **Automatic setup**: Included when using `task-master rules add` for supported editors
- **Required API Keys (Depending on configured providers):**
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`: Your Anthropic API key.
- `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`: Your Perplexity API key.

This document provides an overview of the MCP (Machine-to-Machine Communication Protocol) interface for the Task Master application. The MCP interface is defined in the `mcp-server/` directory and exposes the application's core functionalities as a set of tools that can be called remotely.
## MCP Timeout Configuration
Long-running AI operations in Task Master can exceed the default 60-second MCP timeout. Operations like `parse_prd`, `expand_task`, `analyze_project_complexity`, and `research` may take 2-5 minutes to complete.
### Adding Timeout Configuration
Add a `timeout` parameter to your MCP configuration to extend the timeout limit:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"task-master-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "task-master-ai"],
"timeout": 300,
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-anthropic-api-key"
}
}
}
}
```
**Configuration Details:**
- **`timeout: 300`** - Sets timeout to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
- **Value range**: 1-3600 seconds (1 second to 1 hour)
- **Recommended**: 300 seconds provides sufficient time for most AI operations
- **Format**: Integer value in seconds (not milliseconds)
### Automatic Setup
When using supported AI coding assistants, the timeout configuration is automatically included when you add Task Master rules:
```bash
# Automatically includes timeout configuration
task-master rules add cursor
task-master rules add roo
task-master rules add windsurf
task-master rules add vscode
```
### Troubleshooting Timeouts
If you're still experiencing timeout errors:
1. **Verify configuration**: Check that `timeout: 300` is present in your MCP config
2. **Restart editor**: Restart your editor after making configuration changes
3. **Increase timeout**: For very complex operations, try `timeout: 600` (10 minutes)
4. **Check API keys**: Ensure required API keys are properly configured
**Expected behavior:**
- **Before fix**: Operations fail after 60 seconds with `MCP request timed out after 60000ms`
- **After fix**: Operations complete successfully within the configured timeout limit
## Core Concepts
The MCP interface is built on top of the `fastmcp` library and registers a set of tools that correspond to the core functionalities of the Task Master application. These tools are defined in the `mcp-server/src/tools/` directory and are registered with the MCP server in `mcp-server/src/tools/index.js`.

Long-running AI operations in taskmaster-ai can exceed the default 60-second MCP timeout. Operations like `parse_prd`, `expand_task`, `research`, and `analyze_project_complexity` may take 2-5 minutes to complete.
#### Adding Timeout Configuration
Add a `timeout` parameter to your MCP configuration to extend the timeout limit. The timeout configuration works identically across MCP clients including Cursor, Windsurf, and RooCode:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"task-master-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "--package=task-master-ai", "task-master-ai"],
"timeout": 300,
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-anthropic-api-key"
}
}
}
}
```

- **`timeout: 300`** - Sets timeout to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
- **Value range**: 1-3600 seconds (1 second to 1 hour)
