Troubleshooting
Common Issues
API Key Authentication Failed
Symptoms: Access denied errors, Invalid API key messages, 401 Unauthorized
Cause: Invalid or expired API key
Solution:
- Verify API key is correct and active in AgentBay Console
- Check API key permissions and quotas
- Regenerate API key if expired or compromised
- Ensure API key is properly URL-encoded in SSE endpoint
Concurrent Instance Limit Exceeded
Symptoms: Resource allocation errors, Instance creation failures
Cause: Public beta limit of 10 concurrent instances reached
Solution:
- Wait for existing instances to complete or terminate them
- Optimize workflows to use fewer concurrent instances
- Consider upgrading to production plan for higher limits
- Monitor instance usage and implement resource pooling
Environment Session Lost
Symptoms: Session disconnection, State not persisted, Data loss
Cause: Network connectivity issues or session timeout
Solution:
- Use EXTERNALID parameter for persistent sessions
- Implement session restoration mechanisms
- Save work frequently to persistent storage
- Check network stability and connection quality
Screen Streaming Performance Issues
Symptoms: Lag in browser streaming, Poor video quality, Connection drops
Cause: Network bandwidth limitations or high latency
Solution:
- Check internet connection speed and stability
- Use lower quality settings for better performance
- Choose nearest edge location for better latency
- Optimize browser usage for streaming performance
Connection Failed
Symptoms: Cannot connect to server, Timeout errors
Cause: Server configuration or network connectivity issues
Solution:
- Verify server URL is correct and accessible
- Check if server supports chosen transport method (SSE/HTTP)
- Ensure server is running and accepting connections
- Check firewall and network settings
Tools Not Discovered
Symptoms: Empty tools list, Server connected but no capabilities
Cause: Server not properly implementing MCP protocol
Solution:
- Verify server implements MCP protocol correctly
- Check server logs for tool registration issues
- Ensure server is properly configured and initialized
- Test with known working MCP server for comparison
Tool Execution Fails
Symptoms: Tools available but not responding, Error messages during execution
Cause: Server-side errors or parameter issues
Solution:
- Check tool parameter requirements and formats
- Review server logs for execution errors
- Verify required environment variables are set
- Test with simpler tool calls first
AgentBay not appearing in Apify MCP Tester
Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available
Cause: Configuration or installation issue
Solution:
- Verify configuration syntax
- Check AgentBay installation
- Restart Apify MCP Tester
- Check logs for error messages
