Re-auth Troubleshooting and Recovery

Common Symptoms

  • MCP calls fail with invalid_token.
  • Client repeatedly asks for browser login.
  • Session works briefly, then fails during long runs.

Fast Recovery

  1. Confirm the MCP server config is correct (mcp list/get in your client).
  2. Run explicit re-login for the server.
  3. Retry a read-only call first.
  4. Resume the interrupted workflow from the failed step.

What to Capture for Bug Reports

  • Timestamp of failure (UTC)
  • Client and version
  • Server endpoint
  • Error payload (redacted)
  • Whether refresh was expected but did not occur

Resume Prompt

Resume from the failed step using existing successful results from this session. Do not rerun completed steps.
