  2. Verify Azure Wiki Search is available in the tools list
  3. Test basic Azure Wiki Search functionality

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Authentication Failed

Symptoms: Access denied to wiki, Unauthorized errors, PAT token rejected

Cause: Missing or invalid Azure DevOps Personal Access Token

Solution:

  • Generate PAT in Azure DevOps with Wiki read permissions
  • Set AZURE_DEVOPS_PAT environment variable
  • Verify PAT has access to specified organization/project
  • Check PAT expiration date

Organization/Project Not Found

Symptoms: Project not found errors, Organization does not exist

Cause: Invalid ORG or PROJECT configuration

Solution:

  • Verify organization name matches Azure DevOps URL
  • Confirm project exists and is accessible
  • Check spelling and case sensitivity
  • Use --org and --project parameters to override defaults

Wiki Content Not Found

Symptoms: No search results, Wiki path not found, Empty responses

Cause: Wiki not configured or content not available

Solution:

  • Verify project has Wiki enabled
  • Check wiki content exists in specified project
  • Confirm search terms match available content
  • Try broader search queries initially

uv Environment Issues

Symptoms: Command not found, Package installation fails, Virtual env errors

Cause: uv not installed or virtual environment not activated

Solution:

  • Install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
  • Activate virtual environment before running
  • Ensure Python 3.10+ is available
  • Reinstall dependencies if corruption occurred

MCP Server Creation Fails

Symptoms: Server generation errors, Deployment failures, Tool discovery issues

Cause: Insufficient context or invalid server specifications

Solution:

  • Provide more specific details about server requirements
  • Check that API credentials are correctly configured
  • Review Memex logs in Control Center for detailed error messages
  • Use existing templates as starting points for complex servers
  • Ensure local development environment has necessary dependencies

Template Detection Not Working

Symptoms: .memex/rules.md not loaded, Generic responses instead of specialized behavior

Cause: Repository not properly cloned or rules file missing

Solution:

  • Verify template was fully cloned from GitHub
  • Check that .memex/rules.md exists in project root
  • Re-invoke template through Memex interface
  • Restart Memex to refresh project context

Installed MCP Servers Not Responding

Symptoms: Server appears in list but tools unavailable, Connection timeouts, Empty tool lists

Cause: Server not properly started or configuration issues

Solution:

  • Check server status in Control Center
  • Verify server endpoints are accessible
  • Reinstall server from MCP Directory
  • Review server logs for startup errors
  • Ensure required environment variables are set

High Token Usage

Symptoms: Rapid credit consumption, Context length warnings, Slow responses

Cause: Too many MCP servers active or inefficient prompting

Solution:

  • Use templates to reduce token usage by 10x
  • Disable unused MCP servers in Control Center
  • Leverage project-specific rules for focused context
  • Break complex tasks into smaller conversations

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Symptoms: Server works on desktop but not web, Platform-specific errors

Cause: Different capabilities between desktop and web versions

Solution:

  • Use desktop app for full MCP server creation capabilities
  • Web version (beta) has limited server building features
  • Contact [email protected] for web platform support
  • Consider Streamable HTTP servers for better web compatibility

Azure Wiki Search not appearing in Memex

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

  • Verify configuration syntax
  • Check Azure Wiki Search installation
  • Restart Memex
  • Check logs for error messages
