Installation

Step 1: Install 1Panel

Configuration

Step 2: Configure MCPOmni-Connect

1. Open MCPOmni-Connect settings
2. Navigate to MCP server configuration
3. Add 1Panel server with appropriate settings
4. Save and restart if needed

Examples

Once configured, you can use 1Panel in MCPOmni-Connect:

Get System Overview

Check 1Panel server status and system information

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Show me the dashboard information and system status"

Expected Result: Dashboard data including CPU, memory, disk usage, and running services

Create New Website

Set up a new website with domain configuration

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Create a website for domain example.com with PHP support"

Expected Result: Website created with virtual host configuration and PHP environment

Install Database Server

Install and configure MySQL server

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Install MySQL and create a database called myapp_db"

Expected Result: MySQL installed, database created, and connection details provided

SSL Certificate Setup

Generate and configure SSL certificate for website

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Create an SSL certificate for my website example.com"

Expected Result: SSL certificate generated and configured for HTTPS access

Testing Your Setup

1. Launch MCPOmni-Connect
2. Verify 1Panel is available in the tools list
3. Test basic 1Panel functionality

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Authentication Failed

Symptoms: Access denied errors, Invalid token messages, Connection refused

Cause: Invalid or missing PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN

Solution:

• Verify PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN is set correctly
• Check token validity in 1Panel admin interface
• Ensure token has sufficient permissions

Connection to 1Panel Failed

Symptoms: Connection timeout, Server unreachable, Network errors

Cause: Invalid PANEL_HOST or 1Panel server not running

Solution:

• Verify PANEL_HOST URL is correct
• Check 1Panel server is running on specified port
• Test network connectivity to 1Panel server
• Ensure firewall allows connections

SSE Mode Not Working

Symptoms: SSE endpoint not responding, Transport errors

Cause: Incorrect SSE configuration or port conflicts

Solution:

• Verify -addr parameter is accessible
• Check port is not in use by another service
• Ensure SSE transport is specified correctly
• Test SSE endpoint with curl

Binary Not Found

Symptoms: Command not found, mcp-1panel: command not found

Cause: Binary not in PATH or not properly installed

Solution:

• Verify binary is in /usr/local/bin or system PATH
• Check file permissions (executable bit)
• Re-download and reinstall binary
• Use full path to binary if needed

Command Not Found

Symptoms: mcpomni-connect: command not found, CLI not accessible

Cause: Package not installed or not in PATH

Solution:

• Verify installation: pip show mcpomni-connect
• Ensure Python scripts directory is in PATH
• Try running with python -m: python -m mcpomni_connect
• Reinstall: pip install --upgrade mcpomni-connect

Configuration File Not Found

Symptoms: FileNotFoundError: mcp_config.yaml, Config not loading

Cause: Config file missing or incorrect path

Solution:

• Verify config file exists at specified path
• Use absolute path: --config /full/path/to/mcp_config.yaml
• Check file name is exactly mcp_config.yaml (case-sensitive)
• Validate YAML syntax with yamllint or online validator

MCP Server Connection Failures

Symptoms: Server not responding, Connection timeout, Transport error

Cause: Invalid server configuration or transport issues

Solution:

• Verify transport type matches server capabilities (stdio, sse, http, docker, npx)
• For stdio: ensure command and args are correct
• For SSE/HTTP: verify URL is accessible and server is running
• For Docker: ensure Docker daemon is running and image exists
• Check environment variables are set (e.g., GITHUB_TOKEN)
• Test server manually outside MCPOmni-Connect

Agent Mode Not Working

Symptoms: Agent fails to execute task, Reasoning loop errors, Tool calls failing

Cause: Insufficient LLM configuration or tool access issues

Solution:

• Ensure LLM API key is configured (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Verify agent has access to necessary MCP server tools
• Check task description is clear and actionable
• Review agent logs for detailed error messages
• Try simpler task first to verify agent functionality

Orchestrator Mode Failures

Symptoms: Plan execution fails, Step coordination errors, Agent communication issues

Cause: Invalid plan structure or agent dependencies

Solution:

• Verify plan steps are clearly defined and sequential
• Ensure each step can be completed with available tools
• Check inter-agent communication is working
• Review orchestrator logs for step-by-step execution details
• Test individual plan steps in agent mode first

Docker Transport Errors

Symptoms: Container not starting, Docker connection refused, Port binding errors

Cause: Docker configuration or runtime issues

Solution:

• Verify Docker is installed and running: docker ps
• Check Docker image exists: docker images
• Ensure ports are not already in use
• Review container logs: docker logs <container_name>
• Verify network configuration allows container communication

FastAPI Integration Issues

Symptoms: Import errors, Async execution failures, Endpoint not responding

Cause: Incorrect async configuration or FastAPI version mismatch

Solution:

• Use run_agent_async() for async FastAPI endpoints
• Ensure FastAPI version is compatible (0.100.0+)
• Verify MCPOmniClient is initialized outside request handlers
• Check async event loop configuration
• Review FastAPI logs for detailed error messages

1Panel not appearing in MCPOmni-Connect

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check 1Panel installation
• Restart MCPOmni-Connect
• Check logs for error messages
