Intentional. The MCP checks should all be local checks without any network
tests, so there is very little genuine reason for it to time out. If you
are using MCP to stop critical business information leaving your site to
anyone, the last thing you want is all your information leaking out just
because the server went a bit wrong and timed out.

with MCP. Does my reason above make sense to you?
