🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Session expired" error

   • Get fresh session key from Claude.ai
   • Use update_session tool

2. Chrome extension not connecting

   • Ensure bridge server is running (port 9222)
   • Check extension permissions

3. Database locked error

   • Ensure only one server instance running
   • Check file permissions

4. Search not finding results

   • Run rebuild_search_index tool
   • Verify conversations are in database
