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

MCP Server Connection Failed

Symptoms: Connection test fails, Server unreachable error, Timeout during setup

Cause: Invalid server URL or server not accessible from cloud

Solution:

• Verify MCP server URL is correct and publicly accessible
• Check server is running and responding to requests
• Ensure server supports Streamable HTTP or SSE transport (STDIO not supported)
• Test server URL in browser or with curl to confirm accessibility
• Review server logs for connection errors

MCP Tools Not Available to Agent

Symptoms: Agent cannot access MCP tools, Tool calls fail, Tools not appearing in capabilities

Cause: MCP server not properly configured or tools not discovered

Solution:

• Verify MCP server connection shows "Connected" status
• Check that MCP server provides Tools (not just Resources or Prompts)
• Refresh agent settings to rediscover tools
• Test MCP server independently to ensure it is functioning
• Review MCP server documentation for proper tool implementation

Agent Not Understanding MCP Tool Usage

Symptoms: Agent does not use MCP tools when appropriate, Tool selection errors, Incorrect tool parameters

Cause: Ambiguous instructions or insufficient agent training

Solution:

• Provide more explicit instructions about when to use MCP tools
• Train agent with examples of correct MCP tool usage
• Add context about available MCP capabilities to agent knowledge
• Use specific tool names in prompts if agent is not selecting correctly

Workflow Automation Not Triggering

Symptoms: Multi-agent workflows not executing, Checkpoints not firing, Agent handoffs failing

Cause: Workflow configuration errors or trigger conditions not met

Solution:

• Verify workflow trigger conditions are properly set
• Check that all agents in workflow are active and configured
• Review workflow logs for execution errors
• Test each workflow step individually before combining
• Ensure MCP tools are accessible to all agents in workflow

High Usage or Rate Limiting

Symptoms: Plan limits exceeded warning, MCP calls being throttled, Tasks failing due to quota

Cause: Excessive automation or inefficient workflows

Solution:

• Review plan limits and current usage in account dashboard
• Optimize workflows to reduce unnecessary MCP calls
• Implement caching for frequently accessed data
• Add delays between automated tasks if hitting rate limits
• Upgrade plan if automation needs exceed current tier

1Panel not appearing in MindPal

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check 1Panel installation
• Restart MindPal
• Check logs for error messages
