The `extract_file_data` step was timing out after 30 seconds when processing larger or more complex files, causing an McpError. This change increases the BasicMCPClient timeout to 120 seconds, providing a more stable window for the server to complete its work

This PR addresses the recurring timeout error where processing larger documents fails after 30 seconds. The error

The Fix
This is a quick-fix that increases the timeout for the
BasicMCPClientfrom 30 seconds to 120 seconds. This provides a more generous and stable window for the server to complete its work, preventing the premature timeout and improving the user experience.Future Work
While this hot fix immediately resolves the issue for users, a more robust long-term solution can still be explored. Potential improvements include:
extract_file_dataworkflow to reduce processing time.I'll start working on this, but in the meantime, this hot-fix should resolve our current issues.
