The MCP Auth Flow uses your system’s default browser. Ensure that Insomnia can open URLs using your system browser. The MCP Auth Flow only supports browser-based OAuth.

The MCP Server’s metadata may not include a valid authorization endpoint. Use a **Personal Access Token (PAT)** or **Basic Auth** instead.

Yes. To re-start the **MCP Authentication Flow**, remove the existing token and reconnect:
50+
51+
1. Open the **Authentication** tab.
52+
1. Disconnect from the server.
53+
1. Delete the current access token value.
54+
1. Reconnect or send a request to trigger the flow again.
55+
56+
Insomnia only restarts the MCP Authentication Flow when the server responds with `401 Unauthorized`.
57+
58+
> **Note:** You can't re-run individual MCP Auth calls. Only the full flow can be restarted manually.

Use Insomnia to connect external **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** Servers to access AI-ready tools, prompts, and resource. An **MCP Client** defines this connection and stores authentication and configuration details.
