Troubleshooting: having trouble connecting to the Meow MCP?
Last updated: April 13, 2026
If you're having trouble connecting your AI agent to Meow, start here. Most issues come down to using the wrong URL or an incomplete authentication flow.
Are you an existing Meow customer?
If you already have a Meow account and want to connect an AI assistant to it, follow the instructions for existing customers in our developer documentation:
Use https://mcp.meow.com and authenticate via OAuth with your existing Meow credentials.
Are you looking to open a new account via an AI agent?
If you don't yet have a Meow account and want an AI agent to open one, follow the new account instructions in the developer documentation:
Use https://mcp.meow.com/cli for this flow. See also How do I open a bank account using an AI agent on Meow?.
Common issues
"Account setup incomplete" error This typically means you're using the /cli endpoint instead of the main MCP URL, or your account hasn't fully completed the application process. If you're an existing customer, switch to https://mcp.meow.com and re-authenticate via OAuth.
Authentication failing Make sure you're using OAuth — not an API key — when connecting with https://mcp.meow.com. OAuth is required for the existing-customer endpoint.
Network egress error in Claude.ai Claude.ai requires network egress to be enabled. Go to Settings > Capabilities and toggle Allow network egress to All domains before connecting.
AI tool not listed / unsure which config to use The developer docs include setup instructions for Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, ChatGPT, and generic MCP clients. See developer.meow.com/mcp-server and choose your client.
