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)
