Diagnosis

Pattern: DNS resolves, TCP connects, HTTP times out, all MCP feed endpoints return INTERNAL_ERROR.

This is consistent with the EP API SPARQL/ATOM feed infrastructure being down while basic DNS and TCP services remain operational. The pattern has persisted across 12+ consecutive workflow runs since April 11.

Most likely cause: Easter recess infrastructure maintenance. The EP operates reduced IT services during the 18-day Easter recess period (March 27 to April 13, 2026). Feed endpoints that depend on the SPARQL backend are affected while static REST endpoints may still respond intermittently.

Expected recovery: April 14 (Monday) — first working day post-recess. Historical patterns show EP API typically recovers within 24h of recess end.

MCP Recovery Tracking (Cross-Run)

Resolution Hints

1. Wait for post-recess recovery — April 14 is the first working day; EP IT typically restores full services
2. If persists after April 14: Check https://data.europarl.europa.eu/api/v2/ directly for status
3. If specific feeds fail: Use direct REST endpoint fallbacks with year filter instead of SPARQL feeds
4. MCP Gateway tool registration: The 0-tools-via-gateway issue is separate from EP API — may need gateway restart or MCP server re-registration
