MCP server

philsorrell says:
Is anyone else having issues with the MCP server - it seems to be throwing errors and not authenticating.

Yep, it's down. Error 503 when you try accessing the server in a browser:
https://www.rememberthemilk.com/mcp

It's not working for me in Claude, Cowork and Code. Can't reauthorize it either.

I opened a support case yesterday and haven't heard back, (other than the auto-reply that says support works Monday thru Friday).

I am seeing the same 503 and authentication failure.

The MCP has become part of my daily workflow, so this is no longer just an outage of an experimental extra. It would help if RTM acknowledged MCP incidents promptly, included the service on the official status page and confirmed when it has been restored.

I do not expect an immediate fix or a precise ETA. A short confirmation that the problem is known would already stop users from repeatedly troubleshooting their own clients and authentication setups.

The MCP is one of RTM's most promising additions in years. Reliable operation and basic incident communication are necessary if users are expected to trust it as operational infrastructure.

I agree with @tomkenobi. MCP has been a game-changer already. I recognize it's still a beta/preview but it's been down for several days now, with no acknowledgement whatsoever.

The MCP server is now back up and running. We're improving our monitoring for this, so we'll be able to detect issues faster. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime!

Thanks, Emily. I can confirm that the MCP server and reauthorization are working again for me. Adding the service to the status site and improving the monitoring is exactly the kind of operational follow-through I was hoping for. Much appreciated!

Hey @Emily, as you may be busy sorting out this MCP issue, you may not have noticed but there are help requested going unanswered.

Have all of your support (Andrew!) people been let go??

Would be nice to get more of that communication you had promised. Thanks.
