🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❌ Authentication Error:

API authentication failed. Please check MOCO_API_KEY.

• Verify your API key is correct and has necessary permissions
• Check if the API key is properly set in environment variables
• Ensure the key hasn't expired

❌ Subdomain Error:

MOCO_SUBDOMAIN should only contain the subdomain name

• Use only the subdomain part: company (not company.mocoapp.com)
• Remove https:// and .mocoapp.com from the subdomain

❌ Node.js Version Error:

This package requires Node.js >= 18.0.0

• Update Node.js to version 18 or higher
• Check your version: node --version

❌ npx Connection Issues:

Error: Cannot find module '@a-und-b/moco-mcp'

• Ensure you have internet connection
• Try: npx --yes @a-und-b/moco-mcp
• Clear npx cache: npx clear-npx-cache

❌ MCP Client Not Finding Tools:

• Restart your MCP client after configuration changes
• Check that environment variables are properly set
• Verify JSON configuration syntax is correct
