Troubleshooting Learnosity Build Aide MCP

The Learnosity Build Aide MCP server does not show as Connected

  1. Fully restart your client. Some clients do not pick up newly installed MCP servers on reload alone.
  2. Check outbound HTTPS access to mcp.learnosity.com - corporate proxies and VPNs are a frequent blocker.
  3. Confirm the server is enabled in your client's MCP panel. Some clients install a server in a disabled state.
  4. If you connected manually rather than through a marketplace, validate your configuration - see Connect to Learnosity Build Aide MCP manually under the Getting started with Learnosity Build Aide MCP article.

The AI assistant does not use Learnosity Build Aide MCP to answer questions

Name it explicitly: "Using the Learnosity Build Aide MCP, …". Most clients also provide a way to inspect which tools were called for a given response - worth checking if answers seem generic.

A search returned fewer results than expected, with a golden path alert

Learnosity Build Aide MCP may withhold search results for a lower-level API when the golden path gate is triggered. Review the golden path alert to see which results were withheld. If you need to use the lower-level API, run the search again and set off_golden_path_reason to the reason for using that API.

For more information, see Search and the golden path gate in the Using Learnosity Build Aide MCP article.

I receive an unknown source error

The source identifier is not recognized by the Learnosity Build Aide MCP server. Ask your AI coding assistant to call list_docs_sources to retrieve the available source identifiers.

Source identifiers use underscores, such as help_site, while resource URIs use hyphens, such as help-site.

I receive an article not found error

The article identifier is not available in the current documentation index. Run the search again to retrieve the current article identifier.

I receive a JSON-RPC -32000 error

You have hit a rate limit. Wait a few seconds and retry. If it recurs during ordinary use, your assistant is likely looping tool calls.

The response received is incorrect or incomplete

Please report it. Documentation gaps are the single largest source of incorrect agent answers, and specific reports are the fastest route to a fix. See Provide Feedback.
