Error: MCP server connection timeout
Solution: Implement connection pooling and retry logic
Error: Tool returned malformed response
Solution: Validate response structure against MCP schema
Error: Tool not appearing in IDE
Solution: Check MCPB manifest and IDE-specific requirements
Issue: Server becoming unresponsive
Solution: Implement async patterns, connection limits, monitoring
