Troubleshooting

1. Check that your API credentials are correct
2. Ensure the server is properly configured in your MCP client
3. Look for error messages in the logs located ad ~/.promptz/logs/mcp-server.log
4. Use the MCP Inspector for debugging:

# Run with environment variables
PROMPTZ_API_URL="your-api-url" PROMPTZ_API_KEY="your-api-key" npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
