MCP Server Name Length Limit

Some MCP clients (like Cursor AI) have a 60-characterlimit for the combined MCP server name + tool namelength. If you use a longer server name in yourconfiguration (e.g.,ga4-mcp-server-your-additional-long-name), some toolsmay be filtered out. To avoid this issue:

• Use shorter server names in your MCP configuration (eg., ga4-mcp-server)

Clearing MCP Cache

mcp-remote stores all the credential information inside ~/.mcp-auth(or wherever your MCP_REMOTE_CONFIG_DIR points to). Ifyou're having persistent issues, try running: You can run rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth to clear any locallystored state and tokens.

rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth

to clear any locally stored state and tokens. rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth Then restarting your MCP client.
