Troubleshooting

Common Issues

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)
• Or %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
• 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
• Check firewall allows local connections

Brave Mode Commands Not Running

Symptoms: Terminal commands require confirmation, Workflow interrupted by prompts

Cause: Brave mode not enabled

Solution:

• Enable in Settings > Tools > MCP Server
• Check "Run shell commands without confirmation (brave mode)"
• Use with caution - commands run without confirmation

Agentset not appearing in JetBrains AI Assistant

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check Agentset installation
• Restart JetBrains AI Assistant
• Check logs for error messages
