Problem solving
| Symptom | What to check |
|---|---|
agentboard not found |
Restart PowerShell after Scoop. When installing from a ZIP, use the full path to agentboard.exe. |
| Web page showing old interface after build | Stop the running server Ctrl+C. Execute ./scripts/build.ps1, launch the new binary. Vite must build before Go because the interface is built into the EXE. Refresh the page Ctrl+F5. |
| Port 7337 busy | AgentBoard may already be running. Open http://127.0.0.1:7337 or terminate the old process. For a different port, use --addr. |
| Project not found | In the desired folder, run agentboard init. Then run agentboard open there or agentboard open C:\Projects\MyProject. |
| The worker does not see the task | The task must be assigned to this particular worker and be in Features, In progress, Testing or Verification. AI does not see Backlog, Complete and custom columns. |
| MCP server check exists, but the client is not connected | The server check does not check the external client settings. Restart the client, check its configuration file, path to agentboard.exe, --project, --worker and general --db. Ask to call get_my_board. |
| Worker Offline | The client may have terminated or may not have started MCP yet. After 90 seconds without a heartbeat, the session is considered disconnected. |
| JSON file not importing | Check version: 1, required title, existing Slug workers and property names. JSON does not allow comments or trailing commas. |
Cannot rebuild agentboard.exe |
Windows cannot replace a running EXE. Stop the server Ctrl+C and try the build again. |
| Tasks disappeared after update | Check that --db does not point to a different file and that you are logged in as the same Windows user. The default database is located in %AppData%\AgentBoard. |
If the error is not described, collect the exact text of the message, the agentboard version and Windows versions, and steps to retry. Do not publish private project data or database contents in an open issue.
