Troubleshooting a 403 Forbidden

Unlike a 401 Unauthorized (where your identity is completely unknown), a 403 Forbidden confirms that HasMCP understands exactly who you are, but you definitively lack the internal permissions to execute the specific action.

​
Common Causes

This response strictly maps to structural permission violations inside your organization’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) definitions:
  1. Scope Violations: Modifying a specific Provider schema you only have “Read” access to.
  2. Organizational Strictures: Attempting to delete a Global Server Variable explicitly managed by an Organization Owner while you act as a Standard Member.
  3. Restricted Server Executions: Utilizing a Server Token specifically bound to “Server A” to attempt a deletion action on a resource attached strictly to “Server B”.

​
Resolution Steps

  1. Verify Role Scopes: Check with your Organization Owner to confirm whether your specific user profile actively possesses Write or Delete privileges for the target item.
  2. Validate Bound Tokens: Ensure the exact Server Token driving the integration fundamentally belongs to the Server environment you are interacting with.
  3. Review Audit Logs: The HasMCP dashboard cleanly logs all 403 Forbidden blocks. Filtering these logs explicitly determines the required privilege scope you are currently lacking.
