Troubleshooting
- No results — Verify the channel ID is valid and public. Very new channels may not have enough content for similarity to be calculated.
- Unexpected results — Similarity is based on content patterns, not just topics. Very unique channels may have fewer close matches.
- Tool not responding — Check your NexLev account is active and the MCP connection is complete (see Quickstart). If you've hit your daily quota, Upgrade to Pro for higher limits.
