FAQPage Schema
How do I troubleshoot MCP server connection issues in the OpenAI Agents SDK?▼

To troubleshoot MCP server connection issues, follow a structured workflow that performs connectivity checks, authentication validation, configuration verification, and error-log examination across Hosted, HTTP, SSE, and stdio transports.

Why does my MCP server authentication fail during token validation?▼

MCP server authentication fails when tokens are expired, misconfigured, or rejected by the transport layer, requiring structured authentication validation steps to verify credentials and configuration across the server setup.

What is the best way to debug tool listing and discovery failures on an MCP server?▼

Debugging tool listing failures requires examining server communication logs and verifying transport configurations to ensure the MCP server correctly registers and exposes tools to the OpenAI Agents SDK.

Can I diagnose SSE and HTTP transport errors for my MCP server setup?▼

Yes, you can diagnose SSE and HTTP transport errors by running systematic connectivity checks and reviewing error logs to identify network disruptions or configuration mismatches within your MCP server environment.

What should I do when my stdio MCP server is not working or communicating properly?▼

When a stdio MCP server is not working, perform connectivity checks and examine error logs to identify process communication failures, standard input/output stream blockages, or configuration errors.
