3. Test basic AgentBay functionality

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

Installation Failed

Symptoms: Download errors, Installation not completing

Cause: macOS security settings or corrupted download

Solution:

• Check macOS security preferences allow app installation
• Re-download installer from official website
• Try installing via Homebrew as alternative
• Ensure sufficient disk space and admin permissions

MCP Server Not Found

Symptoms: Server command not found, Path errors

Cause: Server not installed or not in PATH

Solution:

• Verify MCP server installation using Terminal
• Use absolute path to server executable
• Check server executable permissions (chmod +x)
• Test server command from Terminal first

Connection Fails

Symptoms: Server status shows disconnected, Connection timeout

Cause: Server configuration or environment issues

Solution:

• Check server configuration parameters
• Verify environment variables are set correctly
• Restart BoltAI after configuration changes
• Check macOS firewall and security settings

Tools Not Available in Conversation

Symptoms: Server connected but tools not accessible, Limited functionality

Cause: Tool registration or permission issues

Solution:

• Verify server implements MCP protocol correctly
• Check BoltAI permissions for tool access
• Restart conversation or create new chat session
• Review server logs for tool registration errors

AgentBay not appearing in BoltAI

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check AgentBay installation
• Restart BoltAI
• Check logs for error messages
