500 error in L5

Short Course Q&A MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic
1

I am using the cloud hosted setup. I am able to bring up the MCP client fine, and it lists the right tools. But putting any query in the chatbot gives error 500. Here are the messages from the terminal:

(mcp_project) jovyan@ip-172-29-95-38:~/work/L5/mcp_project$ uv run mcp_chatbot.py
Anthropic: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN are both set. Using ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
Processing request of type ListToolsRequest

Connected to server with tools: [‘search_papers’, ‘extract_info’]
