Common Issues
MCP Server Not Connecting
Symptoms: Server not appearing in connections, Connection timeout, Unable to reach server
Cause: Invalid server URL or server not accessible
Solution:
- Verify MCP server URL is correct and accessible
- Check server is running and responding to requests
- Ensure server supports HTTP/SSE transport (Lutra requirement)
- Test server URL in browser or with curl to confirm accessibility
- Contact Lutra support if server should be compatible
Authentication Failures

Cause: OAuth not configured or credentials expired
Solution:
- Complete OAuth authorization flow for connected apps
- Refresh expired credentials through connections panel
- Verify required permissions are granted for each app
- Disconnect and reconnect app if authentication persists
Lutra Not Understanding Tasks
