Why can an MCP connection succeed while the tool I need is missing?
Verify the complete connection
Connect your assistant to the TaskVegas workspace you intend to use, then verify a narrowly authorized operation. Successful OAuth login, tool discovery, and execution are separate checkpoints. Testing all three makes a missing-tool problem easier to locate.
Check the client's capabilities
Use a client supporting the required remote MCP transport and OAuth flow. Host features, account access, and connection interfaces can differ. Consult the dated compatibility reference for demonstrated behavior instead of assuming every MCP-capable application supports the same integration.
Prepare workspace and module access
Sign in to TaskVegas and use https://taskvegas.si/mcp as its endpoint. Enable the module required by your task. Provider-backed modules need an authorized saved connection; instance modules also need a reachable public HTTPS endpoint. Hosted design guidance does not require a provider key.
Start with discovery
Begin with a catalog task before granting execution access.
Illustrative prompt: Find a capability for dashboard design. Explain its setup and costs. If my connection permits catalog discovery only, show the required next step rather than claiming to execute its design tools.Connect with the smallest useful permission set
Add the endpoint through your client's supported connection flow. Review OAuth consent and approve only the displayed access you need. With catalog:read, request taskvegas_find_capabilities and inspect the result. To run design guidance, enable UI/UX Pro Max and approve its separate read scope.
Record three distinct checkpoints
Keep the test result specific to the operation actually performed.
Illustrative record: OAuth succeeded. Catalog discovery returned the design capability. Execution was unavailable because ui-ux-pro-max:read was not approved. This establishes discovery access, not a completed design call.Inspect the granted tools
Compare discovered tool names with the module and scope you approved. Confirm the selected workspace and saved connection. A catalog search never enables a module, grants execution permission, or installs software on the user's computer.
Reconnect when access changes
When a tool or connection contract requires new consent, refresh the approval flow and review the change. Older grants do not automatically acquire newly released tools. Replacing a provider connection can also invalidate the previously approved connection generation.
Keep credentials in the setup interface
Never paste provider keys, recovery keys, or verification codes into a diagnostic conversation. A remote gateway cannot silently install a local skill or reach localhost. Follow the client's supported setup flow rather than manufacturing a success claim.
Complete one useful test
After discovery works, approve one appropriate tool and complete a small task. Record the client, date, tool, and outcome; these details make subsequent connection troubleshooting reproducible.
