I installed the CLI today. I got signed in just fine, but then was getting the error
Warning: Could not fetch tools: MCP error -32001: Request timed out
On most things I ran. readwise --help would return eventually, after about 60 seconds. I tried doing everything I could with Claude to fix the problem. Watching where network traffic was going, hitting curl requests to try to check the connectability of those servers. No matter what I did, I kept getting that time out error.
I figured I'd paste in some extra details that Claude suggested.
Readwise CLI v0.5.6, readwise --help and most other commands fail with Could not fetch tools: MCP error -32001: Request timed out after consistently ~60 seconds. Confirmed:
curl -v https://mcp2.readwise.io/mcp returns in ~0.2snpx -y mcp-remote https://mcp2.readwise.io/mcp connects instantly and establishes the proxy successfully against the same URL- Fresh login (
readwise login after deleting ~/.readwise-cli.json) completes fast
readwise --refresh still times out the same way- Same result across multiple sessions/days, not a one-off
