3. Add AgentBay server with appropriate settings
4. Save and restart if needed

Examples

Once configured, you can use AgentBay in MCPOmni-Connect:

Open Browser Session

Launch browser and navigate to specific website

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Open browser with wuying-agentbay and access wuying.aliyun.com"

Expected Result: Browser session started with navigation to specified URL and screen streaming enabled

Development Environment Setup

Create isolated development environment for coding project

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Set up a Python development environment with required packages for data analysis"

Expected Result: Linux environment created with Python, pip, and data analysis libraries installed

File Processing Workflow

Upload, process, and download files using cloud resources

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Upload my dataset.csv, run data processing script, and download the results"

Expected Result: File uploaded, processing completed in cloud environment, results available for download

Multi-Agent Deployment

Deploy multiple AI agents for parallel processing

Ask MCPOmni-Connect: "Deploy 5 AI agents for parallel image processing tasks with load balancing"

Expected Result: Multiple agent instances deployed, work distributed, and results aggregated

Testing Your Setup

1. Launch MCPOmni-Connect
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

Command Not Found

Symptoms: mcpomni-connect: command not found, CLI not accessible

Cause: Package not installed or not in PATH

Solution:

• Verify installation: pip show mcpomni-connect
• Ensure Python scripts directory is in PATH
• Try running with python -m: python -m mcpomni_connect
• Reinstall: pip install --upgrade mcpomni-connect

Configuration File Not Found

Symptoms: FileNotFoundError: mcp_config.yaml, Config not loading

Cause: Config file missing or incorrect path

Solution:

• Verify config file exists at specified path
• Use absolute path: --config /full/path/to/mcp_config.yaml
• Check file name is exactly mcp_config.yaml (case-sensitive)
• Validate YAML syntax with yamllint or online validator

MCP Server Connection Failures

Symptoms: Server not responding, Connection timeout, Transport error

Cause: Invalid server configuration or transport issues

Solution:

• Verify transport type matches server capabilities (stdio, sse, http, docker, npx)
• For stdio: ensure command and args are correct
• For SSE/HTTP: verify URL is accessible and server is running
• For Docker: ensure Docker daemon is running and image exists
• Check environment variables are set (e.g., GITHUB_TOKEN)
• Test server manually outside MCPOmni-Connect

Agent Mode Not Working

Symptoms: Agent fails to execute task, Reasoning loop errors, Tool calls failing

Cause: Insufficient LLM configuration or tool access issues

Solution:

• Ensure LLM API key is configured (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Verify agent has access to necessary MCP server tools
• Check task description is clear and actionable
• Review agent logs for detailed error messages
• Try simpler task first to verify agent functionality

Orchestrator Mode Failures

Symptoms: Plan execution fails, Step coordination errors, Agent communication issues

Cause: Invalid plan structure or agent dependencies

Solution:

• Verify plan steps are clearly defined and sequential
• Ensure each step can be completed with available tools
• Check inter-agent communication is working
• Review orchestrator logs for step-by-step execution details
• Test individual plan steps in agent mode first

Docker Transport Errors

Symptoms: Container not starting, Docker connection refused, Port binding errors

Cause: Docker configuration or runtime issues

Solution:

• Verify Docker is installed and running: docker ps
• Check Docker image exists: docker images
• Ensure ports are not already in use
• Review container logs: docker logs <container_name>
• Verify network configuration allows container communication

FastAPI Integration Issues

Symptoms: Import errors, Async execution failures, Endpoint not responding

Cause: Incorrect async configuration or FastAPI version mismatch

Solution:

• Use run_agent_async() for async FastAPI endpoints
• Ensure FastAPI version is compatible (0.100.0+)
• Verify MCPOmniClient is initialized outside request handlers
• Check async event loop configuration
• Review FastAPI logs for detailed error messages

AgentBay not appearing in MCPOmni-Connect

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check AgentBay installation
• Restart MCPOmni-Connect
• Check logs for error messages
