Archon v3 setup on MAC - 2 minor fixes MCP TIMEOUT

Hi, I’ve just completed my setup for running Archon v3 in my roo code MCP extension. Two things i needed to fix in the MCP config:

  1. The auto-created mcp-config.json uses “…/venv/bin/python.exe” in the path for “command” - on mac this should be only “…/venv/bin/python”.
  2. I’m running “deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-32b-mlx” as my reasoner - which is slightly slow so my mcp-client was giving me ‘time out requests’. I had to adjust the “timeout”: 3600 in the mcp-config.json like this:

{
“mcpServers”: {
“archon”: {
“command”: “…archon/iterations/v3-mcp-support/venv/bin/python”,
“args”: [
“…archon/iterations/v3-mcp-support/mcp_server.py”
],
“timeout”: 3600
}
}
}

Thank you so much for this feedback! Glad you got it working especially because I don’t have a Mac so I can’t test the pathing myself.

I’ll be sure to update these things for V4!
