}Troubleshooting & Common ErrorsFAQ
Common connection errors and verified fixes for facebook-mcp
Getting 'connection closed' or exit code 1 in Cursor / Claude Code for facebook-mcp?
Usually caused by missing runtime paths or IDE environment inheritance. Fix steps: 1. Verify Node.js 18+ (npx) or Python 3.10+ (uvx) is installed; 2. Run 'which npx' or 'which uvx' in terminal, and replace 'command' with absolute path; 3. Reload or restart the client window after modifying config.
# Check binary path in terminal: which npx node -v
Getting 'spawn npx ENOENT' or 'command not found'?
The editor background process does not inherit your full terminal PATH. Solution: Globally install the package, or set the absolute binary path (e.g. C:\Program Files\nodejs\npx.cmd on Windows, or /usr/local/bin/npx on macOS).
Missing required environment variable or authentication failure?
facebook-mcp requires environment variables (FB_SYSTEM_TOKEN、FB_ACCESS_TOKEN、FB_PAGE_TOKEN、FB_APP_ID、FB_APP_SECRET、FB_PAGE_ID、FB_API_VERSION、FB_ADS_API_VERSION、FB_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS、FB_HOST_CONCURRENCY、FB_MAX_RESULT_CHARS、FB_WRITE_MODE、FB_CONFIRM_TOKEN、FB_MEDIA_DIR、FB_JOURNAL_PATH、FB_ACTIVITY_STATE_PATH、FB_EXPORT_DIR、FB_TOOL_PACKAGES、FB_PACKAGES_DENY、FB_PACKAGES_READONLY、FB_TRANSPORT、FB_HTTP_TOKEN、FB_HTTP_PORT、FB_AD_ACCOUNT_ID、FB_ADS_BUDGET_CEILING、FB_ADS_CAMPAIGN_SPEND_CAP_MAX、FB_LOG_LEVEL). Ensure you have added valid keys under the 'env' object in your config file without trailing whitespace.

The core package is then forced back on regardless, because its identity and diagnostic tools are what you need to debug the surface you just narrowed. An unrecognized name is a startup error, not a silently ignored token."

"name": "FB_PACKAGES_READONLY",
"description": "Comma-separated packages OR profiles whose write tools are not registered at all; the read tools of those packages stay available.
