Troubleshooting

"BOOND_API_TOKEN environment variable is not set"

Make sure you've set the BOOND_API_TOKEN environment variable either in your .env file or in the Claude Desktop configuration.

"Authentication failed" or 401 errors

• Verify your API token is correct
• Check that the token has the necessary permissions
• Ensure your BoondManager instance URL is correct (default: https://ui.boondmanager.com)

"Resource not found" or 404 errors

• Verify the ID you're using exists in your BoondManager instance
• Check that you have permission to access that resource

"Validation error" or 422 errors

• Check that all required parameters are provided
• Verify parameter types (e.g., dates should be in ISO format)
• Ensure enum values match allowed options

Server won't start

• Ensure you've run bun run build to compile the TypeScript
• Check that all dependencies are installed (bun install)
• Verify Node.js version is 18 or higher
• Check that BOOND_API_TOKEN is set

Tool not found

If you get "Tool not found" errors:

• Verify the tool name is correct (check spelling)
• Ensure the server has been rebuilt after adding new tools
• Check that the tool is properly registered in src/index.ts
