What is the Delay Time from Publishing Custom Components to Their Inclusion in the MCP List Tool Call on the Hosted MCP Server?

is the delay on the hosted MCP server from [publish custom components] → [MCP list tool call includes the new components] on the order of, say, seconds/minutes?

I see this, just thinking through some potential issues while developing

Custom actions that you publish are automatically exposed as tools in the Pipedream MCP server for the relevant app.

Well it would take the time for the LLM + network requests + third party API endpoint to respond, so it’s highly variable

What are you seeing?

I haven’t tried it yet, just would like to avoid a situation where we build a custom component but it’s not usable for a few hours

will follow up as I learn more!

or I would like to have alternatives - like switching our integration to the API directly, or self-hosting the MCP server, for faster iteration/testing when adding the new component

Gotcha

Shouldn’t take too long, definitely in the order of seconds/minutes
