Troubleshooting
- I clicked "Add to Cursor" or "Install in VS Code" but nothing happened. Your browser may be blocking the deep link from opening an external app. Try clicking again.
- My terminal says "command not found: npx" when I try to set up MCP. You need Node.js installed (version 18 or later).
- I set everything up but my AI client doesn't show any Keyword Tool tools. Each client surfaces MCP tools differently...
- A browser window opened asking me to log in, but the connection still shows as disconnected. This is the OAuth authorization flow...
- I'm seeing "connection refused", "timeout", or "HTTP 400" errors. Check the endpoint URL has no typos...
