🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Authentication failed" errors:

# Solution: Check your service account credentials npx @mendeel/mcp-mixpanel --username your_username --password your_password --project-id your_project_id

"Command not found" errors:

# Solution: Install Node.js 18+ and ensure npx is available node --version # Should be 18+ npx --version # Should work

"Project not found" errors:

# Check your project ID in Mixpanel Project Settings # Make sure the service account has access to the project

Network/proxy issues:

# Set proxy if needed export HTTP_PROXY=http://your-proxy:8080 export HTTPS_PROXY=http://your-proxy:8080 npx mcp-mixpanel

Editor not recognizing MCP server:

# Verify the server is running npx @mendeel/mcp-mixpanel --help # Check your editor's MCP configuration # Ensure the command and args are correct

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging:

# Set debug environment variable DEBUG=* npx @mendeel/mcp-mixpanel --username your_username --password your_password --project-id your_project_id
