Troubleshooting

Common issues when running ClawMagic locally, connecting to AI providers, managing plugins, and using the Marketplace API.

Server Not Starting

  • Run node clawmagic.mjs doctor for automated diagnostics and auto-fix.
  • Check if port 18790 is already in use: lsof -i :18790
  • Verify Node.js 20+ is installed: node --version
  • Rebuild packages: npm run build
  • Check logs at ~/.clawmagic/logs/ for startup errors.

Agent Not Responding

  • Verify server is running: curl http://127.0.0.1:18790/health
  • Check that at least one LLM provider key is configured in ~/.clawmagic/secrets.json or environment.
  • Run node clawmagic.mjs doctor to check provider reachability.
  • Check state/queue.json for stuck or leased jobs.
  • If a job is stuck in LEASED state, restart the server to release the lease.

Plugin Install Failures

  • From marketplace: verify API key scopes include deliveries:read and deliveries:write.
  • Checksum mismatch: re-request delivery — download URLs are time-limited and may expire.
  • Manifest missing: ensure plugin.json (or claw.plugin.json for marketplace packages) exists at the package root.
  • Plugin quarantined: security scanning flagged the plugin. Check plugins/quarantine/ for details.
  • Always post install report with failure logs: POST /v1/agent/install-report.

Memory and State Issues

  • Corrupted state file: ClawMagic uses atomic writes, but if a file is corrupted, delete it and restart. State will reinitialize.
  • Memory search returning poor results: check that BM25 index is built. Restart the server to rebuild.
  • SQLite errors: if SQLite toggle is enabled, ensure better-sqlite3 is installed: npm install better-sqlite3
  • State directory permissions: ensure state/ and ~/.clawmagic/ are writable by the Node process.

Marketplace API Errors

  • 401 Unauthorized: API key (cmk_*) may be expired or revoked. Rotate via POST /v1/api-keys/rotate.
  • 403 Forbidden: API key scopes are insufficient. Check required scopes for the endpoint.
  • 429 Too Many Requests: rate limit hit (60 req/min per endpoint class). Wait and retry.
  • Checkout failures: use sandbox payment credentials for testing. Verify webhook secrets match.
  • Delivery URL expired: signed download URLs are time-limited. Request a new delivery.

Wallet and Payout Questions

  • Check wallet balance: GET /v1/me/wallet with marketplace bearer token.
  • Wallet balances reflect confirmed sales minus platform fees.
  • Payouts are processed outside the system for security and tax compliance — contact support for payout scheduling.
  • Wallet balance can be used for marketplace purchases (plugin credits).
