Troubleshooting

Common Issues

API Key Invalid

Symptoms: Authentication errors, Access denied messages, Server connection failures

Cause: Invalid or expired API key

Solution:

  • Generate new API key from 21st.dev Magic Console
  • Update API_KEY in IDE configuration
  • Restart IDE to reload configuration

IDE Not Detecting MCP Server

Symptoms: MCP commands not available, Server not listed in IDE

Cause: Incorrect configuration file or location

Solution:

  • Verify config file is in correct location for your IDE
  • Check JSON syntax in configuration file
  • Restart IDE after configuration changes
  • Use CLI installation for automatic setup

Component Generation Fails

Symptoms: Empty responses, Error messages during generation

Cause: Network issues or service limitations

Solution:

  • Check internet connectivity
  • Verify API key has sufficient quota
  • Try simpler prompts initially
  • Contact support if issues persist

TypeScript Errors in Generated Code

Symptoms: Type errors, Compilation failures

Cause: Missing dependencies or type definitions

Solution:

  • Install required TypeScript dependencies
  • Update @types packages
  • Configure TypeScript strict mode properly
  • Import necessary type definitions

MCP Server Connection Failed

Symptoms: Connection refused errors, Timeout connecting to MCP server, URL not responding

Cause: MCP server not running or incorrect URL configuration

Solution:

  • Verify MCP server is running and accessible
  • Check URL in configuration matches server endpoint
  • Ensure network/firewall allows connection to server port
  • Test connection with curl or browser before agent integration

Tool Schema Validation Errors

Symptoms: Invalid input format errors, Schema mismatch warnings, Type validation failures

Cause: Input data does not match MCP tool schema

Solution:

  • Use CLI to inspect tool schema: aiq info mcp --url <url> --tool <name>
  • Validate input data matches expected types and required fields
  • Check JSON schema definitions in MCP server documentation
  • Convert inputs to proper format (dict, JSON string, or schema instance)

Framework Integration Issues

Symptoms: Import errors, Framework not found, Incompatible versions

Cause: Missing or incompatible framework dependencies

Solution:

  • Ensure target framework (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.) is installed
  • Check version compatibility between AIQ toolkit and framework
  • Install framework-specific dependencies as needed
  • Refer to documentation for framework-specific configuration

Performance Bottlenecks

Symptoms: Slow agent responses, High token usage, Workflow timeouts

Cause: Inefficient tool usage or workflow design

Solution:

  • Enable observability to identify bottlenecks
  • Use profiling features to analyze tool and agent performance
  • Review token tracking metrics to optimize LLM calls
  • Consider hyperparameter tuning for agent optimization

OpenTelemetry Integration Errors

Symptoms: Observability data not appearing, Telemetry export failures, Missing metrics

Cause: OpenTelemetry not properly configured

Solution:

  • Verify OpenTelemetry collector is running
  • Check observability configuration in AIQ settings
  • Ensure proper instrumentation of agent workflows
  • Review OpenTelemetry export settings and endpoints

21st.dev Magic not appearing in NVIDIA Agent Intelligence Toolkit

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

  • Verify configuration syntax
  • Check 21st.dev Magic installation
  • Restart NVIDIA Agent Intelligence Toolkit
  • Check logs for error messages
