Troubleshooting

Common Issues

MCP Server Connection Failed

Symptoms: Connection timeout, Server unreachable, Test connection fails

Cause: Invalid server URL or server not accessible

Solution:

• Verify MCP server URL is correct and publicly accessible
• Check server supports HTTP or SSE transport protocol
• Ensure server is running and responding to health checks
• Test server URL in browser or with curl
• Review server logs for connection errors

OAuth Authentication Failing

Symptoms: OAuth redirect errors, Token refresh failures, Permission denied

Cause: Invalid OAuth credentials or misconfigured redirect URLs

Solution:

• Verify OAuth client ID and secret are correct
• Check redirect URL in OAuth provider matches MooPoint configuration
• Ensure all required scopes are configured
• Complete OAuth authorization flow fully
• Check OAuth provider allows the application

Tool Calling Not Working

Symptoms: Tools not appearing, Tool execution fails, LLM cannot access tools

Cause: MCP server not providing tools correctly or model limitations

Solution:

• Verify MCP server exposes tools in correct format
• Check that selected LLM model supports function calling
• Review tool definitions for correct parameter schemas
• Test MCP server independently to ensure tools work
• Try different LLM model that supports tool calling

API Key Errors

Symptoms: Invalid API key, Authentication failed, Rate limit errors

Cause: Incorrect or expired API keys for LLM providers

Solution:

• Verify API keys are correctly entered in Settings
• Check API key has not expired or been revoked
• Ensure API key has sufficient permissions
• Verify you have not exceeded rate limits or quotas
• Regenerate API key if issues persist

Model Switching Issues

Symptoms: Model not loading, Conversation context lost, Inconsistent behavior

Cause: Model compatibility or configuration issues

Solution:

• Ensure API key for selected model is configured
• Start new conversation when switching models
• Verify model supports required features (tool calling, etc.)
• Check model availability and status
• Review model-specific limitations and requirements

Alibaba Cloud DataWorks not appearing in MooPoint

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check Alibaba Cloud DataWorks installation
