🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Connection Error
- Ensure FortiGate device is accessible
- Verify API token or username/password
- Use verify_ssl: false for SSL certificate issues
Port Conflict
- Ensure port 8814 is available
- Change port using --port parameter
Configuration Error
- Ensure config.json is properly formatted
- Check JSON syntax
Cursor MCP Connection Issue
- Ensure server is running
- Verify URL is correct
- Restart Cursor

Logs

Check logs using:

# HTTP server logs
tail -f logs/fortigate_mcp.log

# Docker logs
docker-compose logs -f fortigate-mcp-server

🔒 Security

Recommendations

Use API Tokens
- Use API tokens instead of username/password
- Store tokens securely
SSL Certificate
- Use SSL certificates in production
- Set verify_ssl: true
Network Security
- Run MCP server only on secure networks
- Restrict access with firewall rules
Rate Limiting
- Enable rate limiting
- Limit API calls
