fix(mcp): add onprogress callback so resetTimeoutOnProgress actually works

[techtoboggan]

Problem

convertMcpTool passes resetTimeoutOnProgress: true to client.callTool(), but the TypeScript MCP SDK (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.27.1) only injects _meta.progressToken into the outgoing JSON-RPC request when an onprogress callback is provided — not when resetTimeoutOnProgress alone is set:

// sdk/src/shared/protocol.tsif(options?.onprogress){// ← ONLY path that injects progressTokenthis._progressHandlers.set(messageId,options.onprogress);jsonrpcRequest.params={ ...,_meta: {progressToken: messageId}};}this._setupTimeout(messageId,timeout, ...,options?.resetTimeoutOnProgress);

Without progressToken in the request, MCP servers cannot match their notifications/progress responses to the pending call. The SDK's _onprogress handler matches by params.progressToken → messageId — no token means no match, means _resetTimeout is never called, and the 60-second DEFAULT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MSEC fires regardless of how often the server sends progress pings.

Symptom: long-running HITL tools (tools that open a browser window and wait for a human) time out with -32001 after exactly 60 seconds even though the server is actively sending progress notifications.

Related SDK issue: modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#245

Fix

Pass a no-op onprogress: () => {} callback. This forces the SDK to inject progressToken into the request _meta, which allows incoming notifications/progress to be matched and _resetTimeout to fire — making resetTimeoutOnProgress: true actually do what it says.

returnclient.callTool({name: mcpTool.name,arguments: ... },CallToolResultSchema,{resetTimeoutOnProgress: true,
timeout,onprogress: ()=>{},// inject progressToken so resetTimeoutOnProgress works},)

Impact

• Long-running MCP tool calls (anything that waits for human input or external events) will no longer timeout at 60s when the server sends progress pings.
• Zero behavior change for tools that complete quickly — onprogress: () => {} is a no-op callback that doesn't affect anything else.

Longer-term

A proper fix in the SDK itself would be to inject progressToken whenever resetTimeoutOnProgress: true is set, not only when onprogress is provided. A PR for that is open at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk — but this 1-line fix works today without waiting on upstream.

Potential Duplicate Found:

PR #14501: "fix: add onprogress callback to MCP tool calls for timeout renewal"
#14501

Why it's related: This PR appears to address the exact same issue — adding an onprogress callback to MCP tool calls to enable the resetTimeoutOnProgress functionality. Both PRs tackle the problem of MCP timeouts not working properly without a progress callback.

You should check PR #14501's status (merged, closed, or still open) to determine if this is truly a duplicate or if it needs to be closed in favor of #21701.
