When does this happen?
IF On Windows systems, the fetch MCP server may experience timeout issues due to character encoding problems.
How others solved it
THEN Set the environment variable PYTHONIOENCODING to 'utf-8' in the MCP server configuration. For uvx installations, add 'env': { 'PYTHONIOENCODING': 'utf-8' } to the mcpServers JSON block. For pip installations, set the same environment variable when launching the server.
"""For uvx configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fetch": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-fetch"],
"env": {
"PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"
}
}
}
}
