    • Make sure you've restarted Claude Desktop after editing the config
    • Check that the path to the server is correct
  3. Events not appearing in Mixpanel:
    • Verify your Mixpanel token is correct
    • Check your Mixpanel project settings to ensure data is being received
    • Events may take a few minutes to appear in the Mixpanel interface

Debug Mode
