python -c "import daniel_lightrag_mcp; print('OK')"
```
### Common Issues
#### Server Won't Start
- **Check Python version**: Requires Python 3.8+
- **Verify dependencies**: Run `pip install -e .`
- **Check port availability**: Ensure no conflicts on stdio
#### Connection Refused
- **LightRAG not running**: Start LightRAG server first
- **Wrong URL**: Verify `LIGHTRAG_BASE_URL` environment variable
- **Firewall blocking**: Check firewall settings for port 9621
#### Authentication Failed
- **Missing API key**: Set `LIGHTRAG_API_KEY` environment variable
- **Invalid key**: Verify API key with LightRAG server
- **Key format**: Ensure key format matches LightRAG expectations
#### Timeout Errors
- **Increase timeout**: Set `LIGHTRAG_TIMEOUT=60` environment variable
- **Check server load**: Verify LightRAG server performance
- **Network latency**: Test direct API calls with curl
#### Tool Not Found
- **Restart MCP client**: Reload server configuration
- **Check tool name**: Verify exact tool name spelling
- **Server registration**: Ensure all 22 tools are listed
