MCP Elicitation Timeout Issue

[mattpodwysocki]

Describe the bug

1. Connect Goose to the Mapbox MCP DevKit Server from the Elicitation PR
2. Call preview_style_tool without providing an accessToken parameter such as the following:

   preview_style_tool({ styleId: "cmi18a1ss00lk01sceud4419b" })
   

3. Observe that:
   • No elicitation form appears immediately
   • Tool appears to hang/wait indefinitely
   • After timeout period, tool fails or falls back
   • Then the elicitation form appears in the UI
   • Form is non-interactive/too late to provide input

---

Expected behavior
The elicitation form should:

1. Appear immediately when server.elicitInput() is called
2. Block tool execution until user provides input or cancels
3. Allow user to interact with the form before any timeout
4. Return user input to the tool for processing

This works fine in Cursor, VS Code and other environments today.

I'll look into this

Elicitation appears to be working normally/instantly for me with the everything test MCP server

https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/everything

goose version 1.23.2

I suspect @blackgirlbytes's fix from recently address this.

@mattpodwysocki re-open with specifics if anything still isn't working for you
