AI assistant can't connect to Tuppence

The MCP server is for API keys

Likely cause: The assistant is trying to use your dashboard sign-in, not a key.

Fix:

Create a key under Developers, then API keys, and give the assistant that. See Connect Claude or ChatGPT.

The assistant is refused, or says it isn't signed in

Likely cause: The key was typed wrong, still says YOUR_KEY, or has been revoked.

Fix:

Check the key in the assistant’s settings. On API keys, check it isn’t under revoked or expired keys. If you’ve lost it, make a new one. Keys are only shown once.

The assistant says it can't refund, or can't see bookings

Likely cause: The key is restricted and doesn't allow that.

Fix:

Make a new restricted key that includes it (for example, Refunds) and give the assistant the new key. Only add what it needs.

It only sees test data

Likely cause: The key was made in test mode. A key only works in the mode it was made in.

Fix:

Switch the dashboard to live mode, make a live key, and give the assistant that.

It's refused from one computer but works from another

Likely cause: The key only works from the addresses listed for it.

Fix:

On API keys, open the key and choose Edit beside IP addresses. Change where it can be used from, or remove the list.
