Troubleshooting and FAQ

Troubleshooting steps and solutions for common MCP server configuration and invocation issues.

Q1: "JSON Parse Error" when saving?

  • Cause: Invalid JSON format.
  • Fix: Check for trailing commas or Chinese quotes. Click Format JSON to auto-fix simple errors.

Q2: Assistant tool call keeps loading or errors?

  • Cause: Missing runtime dependencies on the server.
  • Fix:
    1. Ensure Node.js (for npx, download: https://nodejs.org/ ) or Python (for uvx, download: https://www.python.org/downloads/ ) is installed on the host running Cherry Studio.
    2. Check network connectivity. The first run of npx may download packages from npm, and timeouts can cause failures.

Q3: How to verify MCP is working?

  • Verification:
    1. Go to Assistant Management and bind this MCP server to a test assistant.
    2. In the chat, issue a tool command (e.g., "Read test.txt under the desktop directory").
