## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Browser launch fails:**
   - Ensure sufficient system resources
   - Check if Chrome/Chromium is properly installed
   - Try setting `BROWSER_HEADLESS=false` for debugging

2. **Screenshot timeout:**
   - Increase `BROWSER_TIMEOUT` in `.env`
   - Check if the target website loads properly
   - Use appropriate `waitUntil` conditions

3. **Memory issues:**
   - Reduce `MAX_CONCURRENT_SCREENSHOTS`
   - Restart the MCP server periodically
