The status indicator next to Stitch is stuck in an endless **“Refreshing…”** loop, and it never finishes loading or responds to interactions. I have already tried restarting the editor, but the issue persists. - **Environment:** Antigravity IDE / VS Code-based environment - **Affected Feature:** MCP (Stitch) Extension - **Symptom:** Constant infinite loading (“Refreshing…”) on the extension panel. Could anyone advise on how to resolve this or if there’s a workaround (e.g., clearing cache, checking specific logs)? Thank you!I am facing a persistent issue in Antigravity IDE where **any MCP server installation or refresh gets stuck in an infinite “Refreshing…” loop**. It’s not just isolated to a specific extension like Stitch; trying to install or sync any other MCP results in the exact same endless loading state, and nothing can be installed. - **Environment:** Antigravity IDE / VS Code-based environment - **Symptom:** Infinite “Refreshing…” loop occurs on _any_ MCP extension/server interaction. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix this global MCP loading issue? Any help would be appreciated. ---

**I tried a solution suggested on another forum, but the issue persists.** **Since I couldn’t find any PayPal-related string in `extensions.json`, I renamed the file itself to `extensions_backup.json` and restarted Antigravity IDE. However, the MCP server is still stuck in the infinite “Refreshing…” loop.** **Is there any other workaround or fix I can try?** ---

Hello @Painting To help investigate this - - Can you confirm your operating system and version, as well as the Antigravity IDE version currently in use? - Does this issue occur only with the Stitch MCP server, or does it happen with other MCP servers as well? - Does the “Refreshing…” state appear immediately after clicking Install or after saving the configuration? - Can you check the Developer Tools Console (Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console) while reproducing the issue and share any errors shown there? Additionally, please utilize the in-app “Provide Feedback” option immediately to securely package your local system logs and hardware profile for the developers. ---

Here is the information you requested: - **System Information:** - **MCP Servers:** This issue occurs not only with the Stitch MCP server but with other MCP servers as well. - **Timing of the Issue:** The “Refreshing…” state appears _after_ saving the configuration. - **Developer Tools Console:** Because it is stuck in a continuous refreshing loop, there is no response at all even when I try to install other MCPs, and no error messages appear in the console. - **Provide Feedback:** Regarding the “Provide Feedback” option, it was already set to the default options, as you can see in the attached screenshot. Please let me know if there is anything else I can try.
