Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Schema Introspection Failed

Symptoms: Schema not accessible, GraphQL endpoint errors, Authentication failures

Cause: Invalid GraphQL endpoint URL or authentication token

Solution:

• Verify Adobe Commerce GraphQL endpoint is accessible
• Check admin integration token has proper permissions
• Test endpoint manually with GraphQL client
• Ensure Adobe Commerce instance is running and configured

NPM Package Installation Error

Symptoms: Package not found, Installation timeouts, Version conflicts

Cause: Network issues, package registry problems, or dependency conflicts

Solution:

• Clear npm cache: npm cache clean --force
• Try alternative registry: npm install --registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
• Check network connectivity and proxy settings
• Update npm to latest version: npm install -g npm@latest

GraphQL Operation Syntax Error

Symptoms: Syntax validation errors, Malformed query messages, Parser errors

Cause: Invalid GraphQL syntax or schema incompatibility

Solution:

• Validate GraphQL syntax with online validator
• Check field names match schema definitions
• Ensure proper query structure and formatting
• Use introspect_admin_schema to verify available fields

Windows Command Execution Error

Symptoms: Command not recognized, Execution policy errors, Path issues

Cause: Windows-specific command execution or security policy restrictions

Solution:

• Use cmd configuration: "command": "cmd", "args": ["/c", "npx", ...]
• Check PowerShell execution policy: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
• Verify Node.js and npm are in system PATH
• Run terminal as administrator if needed

MCP Server Not Connecting

Symptoms: Server status shows disconnected, Tools not appearing in chat, Connection timeout

Cause: Server configuration incorrect or server not starting

Solution:

• Verify server command is correct and executable
• Check environment variables are set properly
• View MCP logs: Help > Show Log in Explorer > mcp folder
• Test server command in terminal manually

Remote Server Not Supported

Symptoms: HTTP server not connecting, SSE transport errors

Cause: AI Assistant only supports stdio transport for client connections

Solution:

• Use mcp-remote proxy for remote servers
• Configuration: npx -y mcp-remote@latest https://server-url/endpoint
• This wraps HTTP/SSE in stdio transport

Import from Claude Not Working

Symptoms: No servers imported, Configuration empty after import

Cause: Claude Desktop config file not found or in unexpected location

Solution:

• Verify Claude Desktop is installed
• Check config exists at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS)

• Manually copy configuration if auto-import fails

External Client Cannot Connect to IDE Server

Symptoms: Client shows MCP server unavailable, Connection refused

Cause: IDE MCP server not enabled or client not configured

Solution:

• Enable MCP Server in Settings > Tools > MCP Server
• Use Auto-Configure for supported clients
• Restart both IDE and external client
