Responses API MCP Timeouts
OpenAI Developer Community
February 20, 2026
Hey @Archer & or4, this isn’t ideal, agreed.
Did you get a chance to look at the developer doc Guide to Using the Responses API's MCP Tool? It includes some points on avoiding ballooning payloads and improving response times, which apply to long-running calls like this.
Let us know if that helps.
