The script automatically collects critical system information, including environment details, network settings, Qoder service status, and relevant logs, enabling quick diagnosis and resolution of common problems. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-guide#prerequisites) **Prerequisites** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before running the diagnostic script, ensure the following: * Operating System: Windows * Permissions: Run the script with administrator privileges for full access to system settings and logs. * Script file: Download and save the [windows\_Qoder.bat](https://qoder-ide.oss-ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com/Diagnosis/windows_qoder.bat) script as a `.bat` file (example: `qoder_Debug.bat`). * Installation path: Confirm that Qoder is installed in the default directory `C:\Users\\.qoder`. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-guide#run-the-diagnostic-script) **Run the diagnostic script** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-guide#step-1%3A-run-the-script) **Step 1: Run the script** 1. Locate the saved `.bat` file. Example: `qoder_Debug.bat` 2. Double-click the file to execute the script. 3. The script will run automatically, collecting system and application data. ⚠️ Allow the script to complete fully. Do not close the command window prematurely. ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-guide#step-2%3A-view-the-generated-log) **Step 2: View the generated log** Once the script finishes: * It will automatically open the generated log file. * The log file path will be displayed in the command window. * By default, the log is saved in the same directory as the script, with a filename in the format: `Qoder_Log_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt`. * Example: `Qoder_Log_20250405_143022.txt` [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-guide#common-issues) **Common issues** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Issue type | Issue | Solution | | --- | --- | --- | | Network | Check proxy settings | The script checks whether a proxy is enabled. Review the section `[Network Settings 0x0 means proxy is disabled]` to confirm expected behavior.
If a proxy is in use, manually configure the network proxy for Qoder in the settings. | | Qoder Server Status | Existence of Qoder.exe | The script verifies if Qoder.exe exists.
If an error occurs:
1\. Check the installation path.
2\. Delete the .qoder directory.
3\. Restart your IDE to regenerate the directory. | | | Version and startup test | Check the \[Version Test\] and \[Start Qoder\] sections to confirm:
\* Qoder version
\* Connection to the public server
If it shows “failed,” use the URL from the error message to configure proxy access in settings. | | | Qoder.exe running but logon fails | Add the executable to Windows Firewall whitelist:
Path:
1\. windows：C:\\Users\\用户名\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Qoder\\resources\\app\\resources\\bin\`CPU\_architecture\_64\_system`\Qoder.exe
2. Mac：/Applications/Qoder.app/Contents/Resources/app/resources\bin\`CPU\_architecture\_64\_system\`\\Qoder
Steps:
Control Panel → System and Security → Windows Defender Firewall → Allowed Apps → Allow another app
Then retry login. | | System compatibility | System and hardware information | The script collects:
\* OS version (e.g., Windows 10/11)
\* CPU model
Check \[Operating System Information\] to ensure your system meets Qoder’s requirements:
\* Windows 10 or later (64-bit)
\* x86\_64-compatible CPU | | Log analysis | Qoder application logs | The generated log includes the last 80 lines of `qoder.log`.
Use this to identify runtime errors, warnings, or connection issues. | | | Directory structure and file size | The script lists the full directory structure and file sizes under .qoder. Use this to:
\* Check disk usage.
\* Verify file integrity (such as missing or abnormally small files). | | Note | Binary execution restrictions | Some corporate environments restrict or block binary execution, which may prevent Qoder from running.
If the app fails to start, contact your IT department for permission adjustments. | | Unresolvable issues | Issues beyond self-troubleshooting | If you cannot resolve the issue, contact us at: [contact@qoder.com](mailto:contact@qoder.com)

You may encounter issues such as: * Inability to launch the terminal * Commands not executing * No output returned This topic provides common troubleshooting methods to resolve these issues. ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#common-troubleshooting-methods) Common troubleshooting methods #### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#method-1%3A-configure-a-supported-shell) Method 1: Configure a supported shell Qoder supports several shells. Ensure you’re using a compatible one. 1. Open Qoder. 2. Press`Cmd + Shift + P` （MacOS）or`Ctrl + Shift + P`(Windows/Linux) to open the Command Palette. 3. Type `Terminal: Select Default Profile` and select it. 4. Choose a supported shell: * Linux/macOS: `bash`, `fish`, `pwsh`, `zsh` * Windows: `Git Bash`, `pwsh` 5. Completely close and reopen Qoder for changes to take effect. #### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#method-2%3A-manually-install-shell-integration) Method 2: Manually install shell integration If terminal integration still fails, install shell integration manually by adding the appropriate line to your shell’s configuration file. *  zsh (`~/.zshrc`):  Copy Ask AI [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "vscode" ]] && . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path zsh)" * Bash (`~/.bashrc`): Copy Ask AI [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "vscode" ]] && . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path bash)" *  PowerShell (`$Profile`): Copy Ask AI [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "vscode" ]] && . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path bash)" * Fish (`~/.config/fish/config.fish`): Copy Ask AI string match -q "$TERM_PROGRAM" "vscode"; and . (code --locate-shell-integration-path fish) After editing the file: 1. Save the changes. 2. Restart Qoder completely. For other shells, refer to manual shell integration. ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#if-issues-persist) If issues persist If you still don’t receive terminal output: * Click the “Terminate Terminal” button to close the current terminal session. * Run the command again. This refreshes the terminal connection and often resolves transient issues. ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#windows-specific-troubleshooting) Windows-specific troubleshooting #### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#git-bash) Git Bash 1. Download and install Git for Windows from: [https://git-scm.com/downloads/win](https://git-scm.com/downloads/win) . 2. Exit and reopen Qoder. 3. Set “Git Bash” as the default terminal:  a. Open the Command Palette. b. Run: `Terminal: Select Default Profile` . c. Select Git Bash. #### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#powershell) PowerShell 1. Ensure you’re using PowerShell 7 or later. Check your version: Copy Ask AI $PSVersionTable.PSVersion 2. If needed, update PowerShell . 3. By default, PowerShell restricts script execution for security. You may need to adjust the execution policy. a. Open PowerShell as Administrator: * Press `Win + X` * Select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin) b. Check the current policy: Copy Ask AI Get-ExecutionPolicy # If the output is RemoteSigned, Unrestricted, or Bypass, you probably do not need to change the execution policy. These settings should allow shell integration to work properly. # If the output is Restricted or AllSigned, you may need to change the policy to enable shell integration. c. Update the  policy for your user: Copy Ask AI Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser # This will set the RemoteSigned policy for the current user only, which is safer than changing it system-wide. d. Confirm with `Y` when prompted, then verify: Copy Ask AI Get-ExecutionPolicy e. Restart Qoder and retry. #### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#wsl) WSL If using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL):  1. Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc: Copy Ask AI . "$(code --locate-shell-integration-path bash)" 2. Reload your shell or runsource ~/.bashrc. 3. Retry the terminal command in Qoder. ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#other-common-issues) Other common issues #### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/terminal-execution-exceptions#unusual-terminal-output) Unusual terminal output If you see: * Garbled characters * Rectangular symbols * Escape sequences (_e.g., ^\[\[1m, ^\[\[32m_)\ * Control codes\ \ This is often caused by third-party shell customizations, such as:\ \ * Powerlevel10k\ * Oh My Zsh\ * Custom fish themes\ \ **Solution**\ \ 1. Temporarily disable the customization in your shell config file.\ \ For example, in ~/.zshrc, comment out the Powerlevel10k line:\ \ Copy\ \ Ask AI\ \ # source /path/to/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme\ \ \ 2. Restart Qoder and test.\ 3. If the issue is resolved, re-enable customizations one at a time to identify the conflicting component.\ 4. For long-term use, look for configurations that are compatible with Qoder’s terminal integration.\ \ * * *\ \ [MCP Common Issues](https://docs.qoder.com/troubleshooting/mcp-common-issue)\ \ Assistant\ \ Responses are generated using AI and may contain mistakes. --- # MCP Common Issues - Qoder [Qoder home page![light logo](https://mintcdn.com/qoder/logo/light.svg?maxW=640&auto=format&n=7eS9PJqcfxzPJx6x&q=85&s=3c8a2b643af8dae1e157f23aea9e3e61)![dark logo](https://mintcdn.com/qoder/logo/dark.svg?maxW=640&auto=format&n=7eS9PJqcfxzPJx6x&q=85&s=0eb0e88809aa5c31596305a20df8a97c)](https://qoder.com/) Search... ⌘KAsk AI Search...

This topic covers the core concepts, supported transport types, configuration steps, and practical use cases for MCP. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/model-context-protocol#what-is-mcp%3F) What is MCP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context and tools to large language models (LLMs). By exposing functionality through a consistent interface, MCP allows LLMs to interact with external systems—such as APIs, databases, and local tools—in a structured and secure way. ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/model-context-protocol#why-use-mcp) Why use MCP MCP enables Qoder Agent to connect with a wide range of external systems and data sources via standardized interfaces. This enhances the agent’s ability to: * Retrieve real-time information * Perform actions in external systems * Process structured or unstructured data It supports personalized workflows and empowers developers to build more intelligent, context-aware AI assistants. ### [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/model-context-protocol#how-it-works) How it works MCP servers expose their capabilities (such as functions and data access) through the MCP protocol. Qoder discovers and invokes these capabilities based on user input and tool metadata. Qoder supports two standard transport types: * ****Standard Input/Output (STDIO)**** * Communication occurs through stdin/stdout streams. * Ideal for local tools and command-line integrations. * Requires local environment setup—best suited for professional developers. * **Server-Sent Events (SSE)** * Uses HTTP POST for client-to-server requests and event streams for server-to-client responses. * Hosted remotely—easy to configure and use. * Highly recommended for beginners and quick prototyping. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/model-context-protocol#limitations) Limitations --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * MCP servers are only supported in Agent mode. * You can use a maximum of 10 MCP servers simultaneously.

It can leverage project search, file editing, terminal access, and other tools to execute coding tasks efficiently. Additionally, you can configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools to further extend the AI coding assistant’s capabilities, making it even more aligned with development workflows. The main difference between Agent mode and Ask mode is that Agent mode can autonomously apply changes without requiring constant confirmation from you. Agent mode offers the following core features: * Project-level changes: Based on task description, Agent mode can autonomously break down tasks and modify multiple code files. Through multi-turn conversations, code optimization or snapshot rollbacks can be achieved to complete tasks more efficiently. * Plan making: Based on your inputs, Agent mode can create a step-by-step plan for you to review. * Automatic environment awareness: Agent mode automatically detects project frameworks, technology stacks, required code files, and error messages from task descriptions, eliminating the need to manually add project context. * Tool utilization: Agent mode autonomously uses various built-in tools, such as file read/write, code queries, and error troubleshooting. It also supports automatic discovery and use of MCP tools. * Command execution: Agent mode autonomously decides which commands to execute. It then generates these commands and runs them in the terminal. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/agent#plan-making-by-to-dos) **Plan making by To-dos** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Based on the inputs, Qoder will generate a plan to complete your requirements with a list of To-dos for you to review. If you would like to add more steps, just enter your requirements and Qoder will generate corresponding To-dos to the plan. * At the bottom of chats, you can view the progress of each tasks. * Empty circle - Task has not yet started. * Loading circle - Task is currently in progess. * Checkbox - Task is completed. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/agent#programming-tools) **Programming tools** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qoder provides a wide range of programming tools for Agent mode to use autonomously. These tools support file searching, file reading, directory traversal, semantic symbol retrieval, file modification, error message retrieval, commands execution, and more. Agent mode can also plan its next steps based on the returned results. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/agent#execute-commands) **Execute commands** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Agent mode autonomously chooses and runs commands based on requirements. By default, you must confirm each command before it is executed. * If you click **Run**, Agent mode will send the command for execution. * If you click **Cancel**, Agent mode will skip running the command, and proceed to the next step based on your instructions. For tasks running in the background, a “Running in Background” indicator will appear. Agent mode continues working on others tasks and returns to check the output when needed. You can set up an allowed list for automatic command execution in the **Qoder Settings**. Click the user icon or use the keyboard shortcut (`⌘` `⇧` `,` （macOS）or`Ctrl` `shift` `,`(Windows)), select **Qoder Settings**, and navigate to **Chat**. To add multiple commands, separate them with commas. [​](https://docs.qoder.com/user-guide/chat/agent#mcp-tools) **MCP tools** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- If MCP tools are configured, Agent mode autonomously decides whether to call an MCP tool to complete tasks. It will ask for your confirmation before proceeding. Click **Execute** to confirm, and Agent mode will invoke the MCP tool. The results returned will then be used as context for the next steps.
