Sign in to OpenWork Cloud and choose an organization first.

Error message

Sign in to OpenWork Cloud and choose an organization first.

What it means

After the server prerequisite check, the repair path calls resolveCloudMcpOperationContext(entry.url) to obtain the Den/cloud operation context (org, auth, routing). If it returns null — the user is not authenticated to OpenWork Cloud or has not picked an organization — the store throws 'Sign in to OpenWork Cloud and choose an organization first.'

Solutions

1. Sign in to OpenWork Cloud (Account → Sign in flow) and select an organization, then retry the repair
2. Re-authenticate if the Den session token expired
3. Trigger the connect action again after the sign-in completes so the context resolves
4. Verify resolveCloudMcpOperationContext can reach the Den endpoint (network/auth configuration)

Example fix

// before
await connectionsStore.connect(entry);
// after
const ctx = await resolveCloudMcpOperationContext(entry.url);
if (!ctx) {
  await promptOpenworkCloudSignIn(); // sign in + choose org
}
await connectionsStore.connect(entry);

const ctx = await resolveCloudMcpOperationContext(entry.url);
if (!ctx) { await promptOpenworkCloudSignIn(); return; }

function hasCloudContext(c: CloudMcpOperationContext | null): c is CloudMcpOperationContext {
  return c != null && typeof c.orgId === "string";
}

try {
  await connectionsStore.connect(entry);
} catch (err) {
  if (err.message.startsWith("Sign in to OpenWork Cloud")) {
    await startCloudSignInFlow(); // re-auth + org selection, then retry
  } else throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Repairing an openwork-connect MCP entry while the Den session is absent, expired, or has no organization selected, so resolveCloudMcpOperationContext cannot build a context for the entry URL.

Common situations: Expired OpenWork Cloud token mid-session; a fresh install where the user connected services previously but never signed in on this machine; switching Den orgs and the cached context no longer resolves.
