Troubleshooting

$3

If you see authentication errors:
1. Verify your credentials at https://testingbot.com/members/user/edit
2. Ensure environment variables are set correctly
3. Check that there are no extra spaces in your credentials

$3

If the MCP server won't connect:
1. Restart your MCP client (Claude Desktop, VS Code, etc.)
2. Check the MCP client logs for errors
3. Verify Node.js version is >= 18

$3

If tools fail to execute:
1. Check the server logs for detailed error messages
2. Verify you have sufficient permissions/quota in your TestingBot account
3. Ensure all required parameters are provided

$3

To enable debug logging, set the LOG_LEVEL environment variable:

`bash
export LOG_LEVEL=debug
`

Or in your MCP client configuration:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"testingbot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@testingbot/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"TESTINGBOT_KEY": "your-api-key",
"TESTINGBOT_SECRET": "your-api-secret",
"LOG_LEVEL": "debug"
}
}
}
}
