Setup

MCP server was configured via Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add telerik-reporting /opt/homebrew/bin/npx @progress/telerik-reporting-mcp --env TELERIK_LICENSE_PATH=/Users/bentodd/telerik-license.txt

The server connects successfully and appears in /mcp status.

Issues Observed

Issue 1: "Form Elicitation" Error with General Area

Query:

reportingArea: "General"
query: "What is a Telerik Report Viewer?"

Error:

Client does not support form elicitation.

Expected: A response about Telerik Report Viewers

Issue 2: Connection Reset Errors

Query:

reportingArea: "HTML5"
query: "How do I configure the HTML5 Report Viewer to connect to a REST service?"

Error:

Error: An error occurred while calling the service. Please try again later.
Error Message: 14 UNAVAILABLE: read ECONNRESET

Issue 3: Empty Responses (No Error, No Content)

Queries that returned empty:

reportingArea: "AngularWrapper"
query: "Show me an example of configuring the Angular Report Viewer"

reportingArea: "WinForms"
query: "How do I create a Table item with grouped columns in a TRDX report definition file?"

reportingArea: "RESTServiceCore"
query: "What is the XML structure for creating a Crosstab with ColumnGroups and ChildGroups in a Telerik Report .trdx file?"

Result: Tool returns "Tool ran without output or errors" but no actual content

Expected: Relevant documentation or code examples

License Verification

License JWT was decoded and verified:

{
  "code": "REPORTING",
  "type": "perpetual",
  "expiration": 1772548627,
  "userId": "92a7b4e0-8089-4742-98ea-7629455719ee",
  "licenseId": "cc83e05d-6dd1-4c8f-8b1a-b02cbb1efa2f"
}

• Expiration: 2026-03-03 (valid)
• Type: perpetual

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Node.js and the MCP package: npm install @progress/telerik-reporting-mcp
2. Configure MCP server in Claude Code with valid license path
3. Restart Claude Code
4. Verify server is running via /mcp command
5. Attempt any query using the mcp__telerik-reporting__telerik-reporting-assistant tool

Additional Notes

• The MCP server does connect successfully (shows in /mcp status)
• The license is valid and not expired
• Multiple reportingArea values were tested with similar results
• Network connection is stable (other web requests work fine)

Desired Outcome

The MCP server should return helpful documentation and code examples for Telerik Reporting queries, enabling AI-assisted report development.
