Description

The nexlayer_deploy MCP tool consistently times out when attempting to deploy an application. The tool call never returns a response — it just hangs until the MCP client hits its timeout limit.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Authenticate via mcp__nexlayer-mcp__authenticate (works fine)
  2. Call mcp__nexlayer-mcp__nexlayer_deploy with a valid nexlayer.yaml containing 4 pods (web, api, postgres, redis)
  3. Tool hangs and returns: The operation timed out.

YAML used: Standard 4-pod setup — Next.js web frontend, Node.js API, Postgres 16, Redis 7 — all using pre-built images on registry.nexlayer.io.

Expected: Deployment kicks off and returns a status/URL.
Actual: Timeout on every attempt (tried twice).

Note: There is also no Nexlayer CLI available via npm (nexlayer-cli installs but is not a real CLI), so there is no fallback path for users hitting this timeout issue.
