# Troubleshooting
## "Internal server error (-32603)" from ChatGPT
## "Internal server error (-32603)" from Claude
**Symptom:** ChatGPT shows `Internal server error` with JSON-RPC error code `-32603` when trying to use Gitea tools.
**Symptom:** Claude shows `Internal server error` with JSON-RPC error code `-32603` when trying to use Gitea tools.
**Cause:** The OAuth token stored by ChatGPT was issued without Gitea API scopes (e.g. `read:repository`). This happens when the initial authorization request didn't include the correct `scope` parameter. The token passes OIDC validation (openid/profile/email) but gets **403 Forbidden** from Gitea's REST API.
**Cause:** In user-token mode, the OAuth token stored by the client may have been issued without Gitea API scopes (e.g. `read:repository`). In service-PAT mode, the call may fail because the authenticated user does not have the required repository permission or the permission probe cannot be completed.
**Fix:**
1. In Gitea: Go to **Settings > Applications > Authorized OAuth2 Applications** and revoke the MCP application.
2. In ChatGPT: Go to **Settings > Connected apps** and disconnect the Gitea integration.
3. Re-authorize: Use the ChatGPT integration again. It will trigger a fresh OAuth flow with the correct scopes (`read:repository`).
2. In Claude: disconnect the MCP server and authenticate again.
3. Re-authorize: Use the MCP connector again. It will trigger a fresh OAuth flow. For repository-targeted calls in service-PAT mode, also verify the signed-in Gitea user has read/write access to the target repository.
**Verification:** Check the server logs for `oauth_auth_summary`. A working token shows:

**Symptom:** Tool calls return 403 with a message about re-authorizing.
**Cause:** Same root cause as above — the OAuth token doesn't have the required Gitea API scopes. The middleware's API scope probe detected this and returned a clear error instead of letting it fail deep in the tool handler.
**Cause:** The OAuth token does not have the required API scope in user-token mode, or the per-user repository permission check denied the request in service-PAT mode.
**Fix:** Same as above — revoke and re-authorize.
**Fix:** Revoke and re-authorize if the token lacks API scope. If the error mentions repository permission, grant the signed-in Gitea user the required repository access or use a repository they can access.

**Symptom:** After fixing the OAuth configuration, ChatGPT still sends the old token.
**Symptom:** After fixing the OAuth configuration, Claude still sends the old token.
**Cause:** ChatGPT caches access tokens and doesn't automatically re-authenticate when the server configuration changes.

## How OAuth scopes work with Gitea
@@ -48,9 +48,9 @@ Gitea's OAuth2/OIDC implementation uses **granular scopes** for API access:
| `write:repository` | Create/edit issues, PRs, comments, files |
| `openid` | OIDC identity (login, email) |
When an OAuth application requests authorization, the `scope` parameter in the authorize URL determines what permissions the resulting token has. If only OIDC scopes are requested (e.g. `openid profile email`), the token will validate via the userinfo endpoint but will be rejected by Gitea's REST API with 403.
When an OAuth application requests authorization, the `scope` parameter in the authorize URL determines what permissions the resulting token has. If only OIDC scopes are requested (e.g. `openid profile email`), the token can establish identity but may not be usable for direct Gitea REST calls. When `GITEA_TOKEN` is configured, the server uses OIDC for identity and checks the user's repository permission before using the service PAT.
