Troubleshooting

Common Issues

MCP Server Connection Failed

Symptoms: Connection test fails, Server unreachable error, Timeout during setup

Cause: Invalid server URL or server not accessible from cloud

Solution:

• Verify MCP server URL is correct and publicly accessible
• Check server is running and responding to requests
• Ensure server supports Streamable HTTP or SSE transport (STDIO not supported)
• Test server URL in browser or with curl to confirm accessibility
• Review server logs for connection errors

MCP Tools Not Available to Agent

Symptoms: Agent cannot access MCP tools, Tool calls fail, Tools not appearing in capabilities

Cause: MCP server not properly configured or tools not discovered

Solution:

• Verify MCP server connection shows "Connected" status
• Check that MCP server provides Tools (not just Resources or Prompts)
• Refresh agent settings to rediscover tools
• Test MCP server independently to ensure it is functioning
• Review MCP server documentation for proper tool implementation

Agent Not Understanding MCP Tool Usage

Symptoms: Agent does not use MCP tools when appropriate, Tool selection errors, Incorrect tool parameters

Cause: Ambiguous instructions or insufficient agent training

Solution:

• Provide more explicit instructions about when to use MCP tools
• Train agent with examples of correct MCP tool usage
• Add context about available MCP capabilities to agent knowledge
• Use specific tool names in prompts if agent is not selecting correctly

Workflow Automation Not Triggering

Symptoms: Multi-agent workflows not executing, Checkpoints not firing, Agent handoffs failing

Cause: Workflow configuration errors or trigger conditions not met

Solution:

• Verify workflow trigger conditions are properly set
• Check that all agents in workflow are active and configured
• Review workflow logs for execution errors
• Test each workflow step individually before combining
• Ensure MCP tools are accessible to all agents in workflow

High Usage or Rate Limiting

Symptoms: Plan limits exceeded warning, MCP calls being throttled, Tasks failing due to quota

Cause: Excessive automation or inefficient workflows

Solution:

• Review plan limits and current usage in account dashboard
• Optimize workflows to reduce unnecessary MCP calls
• Implement caching for frequently accessed data
• Add delays between automated tasks if hitting rate limits
• Upgrade plan if automation needs exceed current tier

Azure not appearing in MindPal

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

• Verify configuration syntax
• Check Azure installation
• Restart MindPal
• Check logs for error messages
