Troubleshooting

Common Issues

MCP Server Not Connecting

Symptoms: Server shows disconnected status, Tool calls fail, Timeout errors

Cause: Invalid configuration or server not accessible

Solution:

• Verify MCP server URL or command is correct
• For STDIO servers, ensure Node.js and npx are installed
• Check firewall settings allow connections
• Review server logs in Toolbox dashboard
• Test server independently outside Msty

Local Model Performance Issues

Symptoms: Slow response times, High memory usage, System freezes

Cause: Model size exceeds hardware capabilities

Solution:

• Use smaller model variants (e.g., Llama 3 8B instead of 70B)
• Enable quantization for reduced memory footprint
• Close other applications to free resources
• Consider using cloud models for complex tasks
• Check system requirements for selected model

Privacy Mode Not Working

Symptoms: Data appears to be sent externally, Telemetry detected, Unexpected network activity

Cause: Cloud models or online MCP servers configured

Solution:

• Ensure using only local models (Llama.cpp-based)
• Configure STDIO MCP servers instead of HTTP/SSE
• Disable internet connection to verify offline capability
• Review Insights dashboard for token usage (should be zero for local)
• Check Privacy settings are configured correctly

Turnstile Workflow Failures

Symptoms: Workflow stops mid-execution, Steps not triggering, Incorrect branching

Cause: Logic errors or MCP server issues

Solution:

• Test each workflow step individually
• Verify all MCP servers in workflow are connected
• Review workflow logic and conditions
• Check Turnstile logs for execution errors
• Simplify complex workflows for debugging

Cross-Device Sync Problems

Symptoms: Settings not syncing, Conversations missing, Inconsistent state

Cause: Sync service issues or Aurum plan not active

Solution:

• Verify Aurum plan is active and current
• Check internet connection on all devices
• Manually trigger sync from settings
• Review sync logs for errors
• Contact support if issues persist

Aiven not appearing in Msty Studio

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check Aiven installation
• Restart Msty Studio
• Check logs for error messages
