I am trying to add the MCP Server using npx -y @smithery/cli install cli-mcp-server --client claude after reading up the npm docs and it returns the following error

Successfully resolved cli-mcp-server
MCP client connection error: MCP error -32001: Request timed out
UV installation was declined. You can install it manually from GitHub - astral-sh/uv: An extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust.
UV is not installed. The server might fail to launch.

Please share your workflow

I have a simple AI Agent witht the MCP Tool, the ListTool node is failing with the error mentioned above.

Hello @Anurag_Pandey,

as this is not an official n8n node I can’t help you much. Seems like your server doesn’t have pre-requisite package installed(UV). Btw, we’ll be shipping MCP Server/Client in n8n soon so it might be worth to wait for a bit.
