## βοΈ Configuration
### Environment Variables (Optional)
Create `.env` file (copy from `.env.example`):
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4
MCP_SERVER_PORT=8001
GRADIO_SERVER_PORT=7860
```
### Server Ports
- **MCP Server**: `http://127.0.0.1:8001/mcp`
- **Gradio UI**: `http://0.0.0.0:7860`

## π Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| **MCP Server won't start** | Kill existing process: `pkill -f mcp_server` then retry |
| **OpenAI API error** | Check API key is valid and account has credits |
| **Web search failing** | Check internet connection, try different company name |
| **Port already in use** | Change port in code or kill process using port: `lsof -i :8001` |
| **Import errors** | Reinstall dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt` |
| **Timeout errors** | System busy, try again in 5 minutes |
---
