Build and Deployment Errors
ERR_BUILD_FAILED
The sandbox environment failed to build your project.
- Cause: This typically occurs due to missing dependencies, syntax errors in your code, or an incompatible Node.js/Go/Python version.
- Resolution: Check the deployment logs in the Karada dashboard. Ensure your
package.json,go.mod, orrequirements.txtcorrectly lists all required libraries.
ERR_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT
The deployment timed out while waiting for your server to start.
- Cause: Your server did not bind to the expected port within the initialization time limit, or it crashed immediately upon startup.
- Resolution: Ensure your server listens on the port specified by the
PORTenvironment variable. Review the startup logs for immediate runtime crashes.
Auto-MCP Errors
ERR_INVALID_OPENAPI
Karada could not parse the provided API specification.
- Cause: The
openapi.jsonorswagger.yamlfile is malformed, invalid JSON/YAML, or uses an unsupported OpenAPI version (v1). - Resolution: Validate your specification using a tool like Swagger Editor. Karada supports OpenAPI v3 and Swagger v2.
ERR_MISSING_TOOL_DESCRIPTION
The generated MCP server failed to register a tool properly.
- Cause: One of the paths in your OpenAPI spec is missing a
descriptionorsummaryfield. MCP relies on these fields to instruct the LLM on how to use the tool. - Resolution: Add descriptive
summaryanddescriptionfields to all endpoints in your OpenAPI specification and re-import the file.
Connection & Proxy Errors
ERR_AUTH_REJECTED
The target API rejected the request proxied by the Karada MCP server.
- Cause: Missing or invalid authentication credentials.
- Resolution: Ensure you have configured the necessary environment variables (e.g.,
API_KEY,BEARER_TOKEN) in the Karada dashboard’s Settings > Environment Variables section for your deployment.
ERR_MCP_PROTOCOL_VIOLATION
The AI client (e.g., Claude) could not communicate with the Karada server.
- Cause: The connection was established, but the JSON-RPC messages were malformed, or the server returned an invalid response schema.
- Resolution: This is often a network issue or an internal Karada parsing issue. If you are using SSE (Server-Sent Events), ensure your client configuration URL ends with
/sse.
