Solving “Too Many Tokens” in Streamlit-Based MCP Servers: A Deep Dive When you’re building a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server using Streamlit, you may encounter the notorious error: “Too many tokens”. This occurs when the input passed to a large language model (LLM) exceeds the maximum token limit allowed by the API (e.g., OpenAI’s GPT-4, Claude, etc.). It’s a common bottleneck in systems that continuously build up context over time.
