Troubleshooting

Start with these checks

1. Confirm that sign-in works at Memside.
2. Refresh the page or restart the connected AI tool.
3. Check the Settings page for the affected feature.
4. Test a simple read or search before testing a change.
5. Record the exact error text and approximate time.

In-app assistant is not responding

• Open Settings > LLM Configuration.
• Confirm the provider details are saved.
• Select Test.
• Check the provider account for usage or billing limits.
• Retry after the test succeeds.

Cannot save a Memory or upload a file

• Check Settings > Usage & Metrics for Memory and storage usage.
• Confirm required fields are complete.
• Check the attachment size and file format.

Cannot find a Memory

• Search for a distinctive word from the title or content.
• Clear Status, Type, Tags, and date filters.
• Check Completed and Archived Memories.
• Secret Memories are unavailable to connected AI tools.
• Confirm the correct Memside account is being used.

Calendar or text import fails

• Open Settings > Import & Export.
• Calendar import requires an .ics file.
• Chat or long text works with pasted text and supported ChatGPT JSON exports.
• CSV import should start with the template on the same page.
• Check required fields and date format before retrying.

Unauthorized or invalid API key

• Copy the complete key without extra spaces.
• Use Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY.
• Do not put the key in a URL.
• Confirm the key is active under Settings > Developer & API.
• Revoke and replace a key that may have been exposed.

MCP connects but tools do not appear

• Confirm the client supports remote HTTP MCP.
• Restart the client.
• Enable the Memside server and approve tools when required.
• Check Settings > AI Permissions for the Memory and Library MCP controls.
• For command-based setup, confirm Node.js and npx are installed.
• Remove duplicate or outdated Memside server entries.

Library sign-in or logout does not complete

• Open the Library from the main Memside navigation and allow the shared sign-in flow to complete.
• Refresh both applications after a recently completed deployment.
• Confirm that cookies are permitted for memside.com application hosts.
• Retry sign-out from the page that displays the error.
• Record the exact error text and approximate time if the problem continues.

Add to Memside is unavailable

• Confirm that the Template is still public.
• Confirm that the Memside and Library sessions use the same account.
• Review account capacity for Memories, Profiles, and other selected items.
• Reopen the Template page and start a new import review.
• A selected AI Skill remains a draft until separate review is completed.

Template review does not complete

• Reopen the Template review page to load the persistent result.
• Review needed or Review failed requires attention to the listed finding.
• Review delayed can be retried without discarding unchanged work.
• File changes must be saved before another review is submitted.

ChatGPT or Codex MCP installation controls are missing

For the current interface, try either route:

• open Plugin from the left bar, then select Settings > MCP > Install MCP server; or
• open Profile > Settings > Plugins, select Add, then select Install MCP server.

In an earlier ChatGPT interface, enable Developer mode under Plugin or Security, close Settings, open Plugins from the left panel, select the plus button, and choose the custom-plugin option.

Managed workspaces may require administrator approval. Availability can also vary by account, region, or supported surface. OpenAI may change labels or move these controls in a future release.

ChatGPT is connected but unavailable in a chat

• Confirm Memside is available in the Plugin area.
• Start a new chat and enable the plugin if requested.
• Disconnect and reconnect when an earlier OAuth connection has become stale.

Claude authentication loops

Try adding and authenticating Memside from claude.ai first. Then restart Claude desktop or sign in again.

Confirm the server URL is:

https://api.memside.com/mcp/

Subject or Connection looks out of date

• Refresh the page and reopen the Memory.
• Subject membership and direct Connections are different.
• Archived and Completed Memories can keep confirmed Connections.
• Deleting a Subject removes its links but preserves Memories.
• A suggested Fact is not Current until it is accepted.

A change or deletion was rejected

The connected AI tool may require approval.

For AI deletion:

1. Enable AI delete permission in Settings.
2. Let the AI tool prepare the exact confirmation.
3. Review and approve the specific deletion.

Account deletion and API-key management remain app actions.

Direct API request fails

• Use https://api.memside.com as the base URL.
• Send Content-Type: application/json with JSON request bodies.
• Check the HTTP status and response body.
• Avoid automatic retries for create, update, or delete requests unless the integration prevents duplicate changes.
