Problem
I encountered request timeout errors on macOS when using Context7 MCP with Claude Desktop (Codex CLI). The issue occurs when Context7 needs to be re-downloaded due to version changes or updates, and the download time exceeds Codex's default timeout settings.
Root Cause
Solution
Similar to the existing Windows solution, the fix involves specifying the full paths to both Node.js and the installed Context7 package in the configuration. This bypasses the initialization timeout by directly pointing to the already-installed resources.
