Troubleshooting
Fix common problems connecting an AI tool to SupercheckEdit
| Symptom | Cause and fix |
|---|---|
404 not_found from /api/mcp | MCP is off on this server. A self-hosting admin must set MCP_SERVER_ENABLED=true and recreate the app |
| The browser never opens | Run the tool's auth command (for example /mcp in Claude Code) and choose supercheck. Check the URL ends in /api/mcp |
401 after working earlier | The token expired and could not refresh. Sign in again from the client, or reconnect |
403 access_denied | Access was removed. If the app was disconnected, reconnect and approve again. If you were removed from the organization or your account is banned, ask an admin; access returns once it is restored, with no reconnect needed |
429 rate_limited or too_many_concurrent_requests | One app may send up to 300 requests a minute and 4 at a time; all your apps together 600 a minute and 8 at a time. Wait for the Retry-After seconds, or send fewer calls at once |
503 rate_limiter_unavailable | The server's rate limiter is temporarily unavailable, so the call was refused rather than let through unchecked. Retry after the Retry-After seconds. An administrator should check that Redis is reachable |
400 batch_too_large | A single request may carry at most 20 calls. Split larger batches |
| Project missing on the approval screen | You can only share projects you can access. Ask an owner to add you |
forbidden from a tool | Your role cannot view that resource type. Ask for a role that can |
The server crashes on start with a BETTER_AUTH_URL error | BETTER_AUTH_URL must be the public HTTPS URL (http://localhost:3000 is accepted for local use). The Docker setup derives it from APP_DOMAIN |
| Calls fail behind a proxy | Make sure the proxy passes the Authorization header through to /api/mcp |
| Stdio-only client | Bridge with npx mcp-remote https://your-supercheck-host/api/mcp |
To inspect the server directly, run npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector and connect to https://your-supercheck-host/api/mcp with the Streamable HTTP transport.
