Change theme: Blue | Clean | Fields | Zen
We've started offering an MCP Server for our main $WORK tool. It's been fun, like a weird intersection between deterministic and non-deterministic worlds Despite the fact that MCP is an utterly terrible attempt at a "specification", we have hit one annoying issue: customers keep on reporting the MCP server is not working.
The reason is simple and it shows the friction between devs vibe-coding a spec and real-world users actually onboarding: if you open mcp.acme.com/mcp in a browser you get a big fat 401 and a raw JSON blob saying Unauthorized. (If authentication isn't required, adjust accordingly.)
