avids2 Memorix Troubleshooting
Prefer direct CLI diagnostics first. MCP is an integration surface, not the only way to operate Memorix.
Diagnostic Router
| Symptom | Check | CLI fallback |
|---|---|---|
| MCP tools missing | host MCP config and restart | memorix setup --agent <agent> |
| Unsure project is bound | project status | memorix status and git status |
| HTTP MCP stale or unbound | background health and explicit session bind | memorix background status; then memorix session start --projectRoot <path> |
| Hooks not firing | hook status | memorix hooks status |
| Need to inspect generated files | preview | memorix hooks preview --agent <agent> |
| Setup looks incomplete | reinstall host integration | memorix setup --agent <agent> |
| Need dashboard/control plane | background service | memorix background start or memorix serve-http --port 3211 |
Mode Rules
- Use stdio MCP (
memorix serve) for normal host-launched MCP integration. - Use HTTP/background only for shared endpoint, dashboard, Docker, multiple clients, or foreground control-plane debugging.
- On Windows, prefer absolute native paths for
projectRootand remember that visually similar junction paths may bind different session histories. - If MCP is unavailable but the CLI works, continue through CLI commands instead of blocking.
