2. Verify AgentBay is available in the tools list
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

Plugin Not Loading or Command Not Found

Symptoms: :MCPHub command not recognized, Plugin not appearing in :PlugStatus, No errors but plugin inactive

Cause: Plugin not properly installed or configuration error

Solution:

• Verify plugin is added to plugin manager configuration
• Run plugin manager install command (:PackerInstall, :PlugInstall, or Lazy auto-install)
• Check for errors in :messages after sourcing config
• Ensure dependencies (plenary.nvim, nui.nvim) are installed
• Restart Neovim completely

MCP Server Won't Start

Symptoms: Server status shows "Error", Red indicator on server, Server immediately stops after starting

Cause: Invalid server configuration or missing dependencies

Solution:

• Verify npx is installed and in PATH: npx --version
• Check MCP server package exists: npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem --help
• Review server configuration in setup() - verify command and args
• Check server logs in MCPHub interface for detailed error messages
• Ensure required environment variables are set (e.g., GITHUB_TOKEN)
• Test server manually in terminal: npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /path

UI Not Displaying Correctly

Symptoms: Blank window, Garbled text, Layout issues, Missing borders

Cause: Terminal or Neovim rendering issues

Solution:

• Verify Neovim version is 0.9 or higher: nvim --version
• Try different border style in ui.border config ("single", "double", "rounded")
• Check terminal supports Unicode and 256 colors
• Update nui.nvim dependency to latest version
• Test with different colorscheme to rule out theme conflicts

Integration with Avante/CodeCompanion Not Working

Symptoms: AI assistant not seeing MCP tools, Tool calls failing, Integration not recognized

Cause: Integration not enabled or incompatible versions

Solution:

• Verify integration is enabled in config: integrations.avante = true
• Ensure Avante.nvim/CodeCompanion.nvim is installed and loaded
• Check versions are compatible - update both plugins to latest
• Restart Neovim after enabling integration
• Check :checkhealth for integration-specific warnings

Marketplace Not Loading

Symptoms: :MCPHubMarketplace shows empty list, Network error in marketplace, Timeout loading servers

Cause: Network connectivity issues or marketplace service unavailable

Solution:

• Verify internet connectivity
• Check firewall allows HTTPS connections
• Try again later if marketplace service is temporarily down
• Review proxy settings if behind corporate firewall
• Check :messages for detailed network error messages

Project-Local Config Not Loading

Symptoms: .mcphub.json ignored, Project servers not appearing, Only global config loaded

Cause: Config file location or format issues

Solution:

• Verify .mcphub.json is in project root (same directory as .git)
• Check JSON syntax is valid using jsonlint or similar tool
• Ensure file name is exactly .mcphub.json (case-sensitive)
• Restart Neovim after creating/modifying project config
• Check file permissions are readable

AgentBay not appearing in MCPHub (mcp.nvim)

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check AgentBay installation
• Restart MCPHub (mcp.nvim)
• Check logs for error messages
