HTTP 500
mcp_handler_error

MCP request failed

The MCP server could not complete the protocol request.

Resolution

Retry with backoff and provide the request ID if the problem persists.

Response handling

Keep the response's request_id for diagnostics. Retry only transient rate limits and 503 responses, respecting Retry-After with bounded exponential backoff and jitter. For monthly_quota_exceeded, stop polling until RateLimit-Reset or upgrade. Correct 400, 401, 403, and 406 requests before retrying.
