Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Flutter not found": Ensure FLUTTER_ROOT environment variable is set correctly
2. "Permission denied": Run chmod +x dist/main.js on Unix systems
3. "Module not found": Run npm install and npm run build
4. "Port already in use": Check if another MCP server is running

Debug Mode

Run the server in debug mode for detailed logging:

npm run dev

Error Handling
