Blocked by team admin

Blocked by team admin indicates your organization policy prevented this MCP server or endpoint from running.

This is a governance restriction, not usually a server bug.

Why this happens

• endpoint domain is not on allowlist
• policy blocks external network calls
• server category is restricted by workspace rules
• missing enterprise approval for paid servers
• extension permissions disabled by admin policy

What users can do

1. Capture the exact error string and timestamp
2. Share endpoint URL and intended use case with admin
3. Request allowlist approval for the domain
4. Ask whether paid marketplace servers are restricted
5. Re-test after policy update

What admins should verify

• domain and subdomain allowlists
• outbound network rules for IDE hosts
• extension trust and permission settings
• team billing policy for paid MCP usage

Suggested policy-safe fallback

If approval is pending, use:

• already-approved internal endpoints
• open-source local MCP servers
• read-only tools that match policy constraints
