Cowork workspace times out on startup when MCP server is present in config (Windows 11 Home)
증상
- I have searched existing issues and this hasn’t been reported yet
원인
OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.
해결법
Remove the MCP entry from config — but this means choosing between Cowork and MCP in Chat. No way to have both.
Additional context This is similar to issues #24918, #25206, and #27801. The MCP server runs successfully standalone and works in Chat mode — the timeout appears specific to Cowork’s VM attempting to reach or initialise host-side MCP servers on startup.
