Troubleshooting

Fix connection and authentication issues with the Kernel MCP server

  • Cursor clean reset: ⌘/Ctrl Shift P → run Cursor: Clear All MCP Tokens (resets all MCP servers and auth; re-enable Kernel and re-authenticate).
  • Clear saved auth and retry: rm -rf ~/.mcp-auth
  • Node.js version: Ensure a recent Node.js version when using npx mcp-remote.
  • Strict networks: If behind strict networks, try stdio via mcp-remote, or explicitly set the transport your client supports.
