Troubleshooting

Common Issues

API Authentication Failed

Symptoms: 401 Unauthorized errors, Invalid API key message

Cause: Missing or incorrect API key

Solution:

• Verify API key is correctly copied from klavis.ai dashboard
• Check API key is set in environment variable or code
• Ensure API key has not expired
• Regenerate API key if necessary

OAuth Authorization Errors

Symptoms: OAuth redirect failures, Authentication loop, Token refresh errors

Cause: OAuth credentials not configured or expired

Solution:

• Complete OAuth authorization flow for required services
• Check redirect URLs are correctly configured
• Verify OAuth app credentials in service provider settings
• Contact Klavis support for OAuth troubleshooting

Tool Call Failures

Symptoms: Tool not found errors, Execution timeouts, Rate limit errors

Cause: Tool not properly configured or service rate limits exceeded

Solution:

• Verify tool name matches available tools list
• Check service-specific rate limits and quotas
• Ensure required parameters are provided correctly
• Review Klavis API logs for detailed error messages

Context Window Overload

Symptoms: Too many tools error, Context length exceeded, Slow responses

Cause: Too many tools exposed to AI agent at once

Solution:

• Use Strata Progressive Discovery to expose tools hierarchically
• Reduce number of simultaneous MCP servers in Strata configuration
• Filter tools based on current task context
• Enable intelligent tool filtering in Strata settings

Docker Deployment Issues

Symptoms: Container fails to start, Port conflicts, Connection refused

Cause: Docker configuration or port binding errors

Solution:

• Ensure Docker is installed and running
• Check port 5000 is not already in use (or change port mapping)
• Verify Docker image pulled successfully
• Check container logs: docker logs <container-id>

Aiven not appearing in Klavis AI

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check Aiven installation
• Restart Klavis AI
• Check logs for error messages
