Troubleshooting

Connection Issues:

# Check Zero-Vector v2 server health
curl http://localhost:3000/health

# Check Zero-Vector v3 server health
curl http://localhost:3001/health

# Test MCP server connection
cd MCP && npm run test:connection

Workflow Issues:

# Check workflow status
cd MCP && node -e "console.log('Check workflow metrics via MCP tools')"

# Review workflow logs
tail -f zero-vector-3/server/logs/combined.log

Common Issues:

• Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed
• Verify API key configuration in MCP .env file
• Check both Zero-Vector servers are running before starting MCP server
• Ensure sufficient memory allocation (4GB+ recommended for v3.0)
• Verify PostgreSQL and Redis are running for v3 workflows
