Troubleshooting

Authentication Issues

• OAuth redirect fails: Check your browser allows popups from claude.ai

Common Issues

• "Room not found": Verify the room ID is correct and hasn't been deleted
• "Rate limit exceeded": Wait a few minutes and try again
• Tools not appearing: Restart your AI assistant after adding the server

Authentication

The MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 with Digital Samba as the identity provider. When you connect:

1. Your AI assistant redirects you to Digital Samba login
2. You authenticate with your Digital Samba credentials
3. The MCP server receives authorization to act on your behalf
4. All API calls use your account's permissions

Requirements:

• You must have Admin role on your Digital Samba team
• OAuth tokens are valid for 24 hours and auto-refresh
