启动 MCP 独立服务失败: %w

Error message

启动 MCP 独立服务失败: %w

What it means

Thrown by StartManagedStandalone when os/exec's cmd.Start() fails to launch the detached MCP standalone binary process. The command was fully prepared (stdout/stderr to a log file, GVA_MCP_CONFIG env, detached attributes) but the OS refused or failed to spawn it.

Solutions

  1. Check the cause in the wrapped error: 'permission denied' -> chmod +x or fix noexec mount; 'exec format error' -> rebuild for the host OS/arch.
  2. Ensure the log file path (meta.LogPath directory) exists and is writable.
  3. Rebuild the binary with the project's build command for the current platform.
  4. Check ulimit/nproc and container security policies if under heavy load or restricted runtime.

Example fix

// check before starting
if err := os.Chmod(binaryPath, 0o755); err != nil { return err }
if runtime.GOOS != expectedOS {
    return fmt.Errorf("binary built for %s, host is %s", expectedOS, runtime.GOOS)
}
status, err := StartManagedStandalone(ctx)
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

info, err := os.Stat(binaryPath)
if err != nil { return err }
if info.Mode()&0o111 == 0 { return fmt.Errorf("%s is not executable", binaryPath) }
if runtime.GOOS != buildOS { return fmt.Errorf("arch/OS mismatch: built for %s", buildOS) }

Try / catch

status, err := StartManagedStandalone(ctx)
if err != nil {
    if strings.Contains(err.Error(), "permission denied") {
        os.Chmod(binaryPath, 0o755) // or remount without noexec
    }
    return err
}

Prevention

When it happens

Trigger: cmd.Start() returns error: binary not executable (missing +x), binary arch mismatch, missing dynamic libs, log file not writable, fork/exec failure on the platform, resource limits (too many processes).

Common situations: Built binary copied from another OS/arch (e.g. darwin binary on linux); running in a container without exec permission on the volume (noexec mount); log file directory permissions changed; PID/process limits hit.
