## 🔍 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 '@niondigital/moco-mcp'
```
- Ensure you have internet connection
- Try: `npx --yes @niondigital/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
