868### A tool is missing from an SDK MCP server
869
870In the TypeScript SDK, when a tool's input schema can't be converted to JSON Schema, the server you created with [`createSdkMcpServer()`](/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript#createsdkmcpserver) leaves that tool out when it lists its tools. The SDK emits a warning at that point. Under Node.js the warning is a process warning with code `CLAUDE_SDK_MCP_TOOL_SCHEMA_UNCONVERTIBLE`, and it starts with this text:
871
872```text theme={null}
873Tool "<name>" on SDK MCP server "<server>" was left out of the server's tool list, because its input schema cannot be converted to JSON Schema
874```
875
876The rest of the warning gives the conversion error's message when it has one, then says what to check and change.
877
878Before TypeScript Agent SDK v0.3.286, one unconvertible schema made the server's whole tool listing fail without this warning, so none of that server's tools reached Claude.

868880### Connection timeouts
869881
870882MCP server connections time out after 30 seconds by default. To change how long a running tool call may take, set [`MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT`](/docs/en/env-vars). If your server takes longer to start, the connection fails. Raise the connection limit with the [`MCP_TIMEOUT`](/docs/en/env-vars) environment variable, in milliseconds. For servers that need more startup time, also consider:
No line in this hunk matches that.
