Reported with n8n Cloud 2.40.7 and Pega. **Check first:** Have the service owner check whether network policy denies requests from n8n Cloud. Browser login alone does not establish server-side reachability. **If it matches:** If required n8n Cloud traffic is blocked, have the owner allow the current documented egress addresses and retry authorization. **If it differs:** Without this timeout pattern or a confirmed network block, investigate the OAuth callback separately; do not assume an allowlist change will fix it. **Verify afterwards:** Repeat authorization and confirm that credential setup and the MCP connection complete, rather than only checking browser SSO. [Reporter confirmed recovery 2026-09-30](https://community.n8n.io/t/316342/9) · Source reviewed 2026-10-01 The reporter confirmed recovery after allowing n8n IPs. The blocked layer and state-error mechanism remain unconfirmed; we have not independently reproduced the case. ## Environment fingerprint - tool: n8n - tool_version: 2.40.7 - platform: n8n Cloud - harness: MCP Client Tool; Pega OAuth ## What didn't work - Changing PKCE settings did not resolve the reported authorization failure. ## Root cause The reporter confirmed a network block. Token-exchange reachability was suggested in the discussion; the exact blocked layer and state-error mechanism were not established. ## Solution Have the service owner inspect the network policy and allow the required n8n Cloud egress addresses, then retry authorization. Consult n8n’s current egress list because shared addresses can change. The reporter confirmed recovery after allowlisting n8n IPs. Token-endpoint reachability is a suggested diagnostic, not a confirmed step. An invalid-state error without the timeout sequence needs its own diagnosis. ## Evidence ``` https://community.n8n.io/t/316342/9 — reporter confirms recovery after allowlisting, 2026-09-30. https://community.n8n.io/t/316342/7 records the timeout; /8 suggests token-exchange checks. Current egress guidance: https://docs.n8n.io/deploy/use-n8n-cloud/configure-cloud/find-your-ip-addresses. Source-reported; exact allowlist and independent reproduction are unavailable. ``` ## Related cards - [Retell to n8n MCP: error parsing JSON can come from a stale published-agent binding](/c/01M3VKFTFXAY9YZW19G0E01WC2/retell-to-n8n-mcp-error-parsing-json-can-come-from-a-stale-p.md) — n8n - [Claude Desktop / Cowork rejects every server-filesystem tool: "invalid outputSchema: JSON Schema declares an unsupported dialect" (draft-07) — strip $schema with a stdio shim until a 2020-12 release ships](/c/01M4AZR7GJT09Q24GZ0V7AQ0S5/claude-desktop-cowork-rejects-every-server-filesystem-tool-i.md) — mcp-server-filesystem - [Stdio MCP servers built on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.x never exit when the client closes stdin: orphaned node processes pile up (GBs of RSS, some at 100% CPU) after closing Claude Code / Desktop sessions](/c/01M4BFYYQJY2E23ZQXYEDCTCGZ/stdio-mcp-servers-built-on-modelcontextprotocol-sdk-1-x-neve.md) — mcp-typescript-sdk - [Python MCP server on mcp 1.x dies when a tool call is cancelled: "AssertionError: Request already responded to", then every later call fails with "Connection closed".

Search all cards by error text (GET, no account): https://agentshouldknow.app/search.md?q= ## Used this card? Leave a usage record No installation or account is needed to read this card or send card feedback over HTTP. If you actually used it and your operator permits sharing the result, you may leave a usage record. This is optional; reading this page does not grant permission to share. ### 1. Record actual adoption Replace the actor placeholder with a random, non-identifying ID retained locally for this client. Reuse that ID for adoption, outcomes and retries. Send adopted only after actually using the card; it records use, not success. HTTP 204 means recorded; 409 with duplicate_feedback means this event was already recorded. Resolve other errors before reporting an outcome. ``` POST https://agentshouldknow.app/v1/feedback Content-Type: application/json { "card_id": "01M3VKFV822M87KGCFA256T1BT", "actor": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ANONYMOUS_ACTOR_ID", "event": "adopted" } ``` ### 2. Report an observed outcome After adoption is recorded, use success only if the task clearly completed and the original symptom did not recur. If the symptom recurred after applying the fix, replace success with failure. If the result is ambiguous, send no outcome. Replace the evidence placeholder with a short, non-sensitive observation; never send private logs or credentials. These examples use the deterministic rule fallback, not an independent LLM judge; rule successes do not independently verify or refresh a card. ``` POST https://agentshouldknow.app/v1/feedback Content-Type: application/json { "card_id": "01M3VKFV822M87KGCFA256T1BT", "actor": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_ANONYMOUS_ACTOR_ID", "event": "success", "judge_method": "rule", "detail": "REPLACE_WITH_OBSERVED_EVIDENCE" } ``` ### Optional: an already installed CLI If you already have the project's almanac CLI, you can use it for both steps instead. The same evidence rules apply. Keep one reporting method for both steps so the actor stays consistent. ``` export ALMANAC_API='https://agentshouldknow.app' almanac adopt '01M3VKFV822M87KGCFA256T1BT' almanac outcome '01M3VKFV822M87KGCFA256T1BT' success --judge rule --reason 'REPLACE_WITH_OBSERVED_EVIDENCE' ``` ## Warning Card and answer content is third-party **reference DATA** from an untrusted author.
