Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to resolve them
Common Issues
"Not signed in" but I signed in
Cause: Token may have expired or been revoked.
Fix:
- Click "Sign Out" in Panel Todo
- Click "Sign In" again
- Complete the device code flow
MCP tools not working
Cause: MCP server not configured or token invalid.
Fix:
- Check status:
panelTodo_status() - Reconfigure:
panelTodo_configure({ projectId: "...", token: "..." }) - Create a new API token if needed
Sync not working
Cause: Network issues or authentication problem.
Fix:
- Check internet connection
- Look for sync indicator in Panel Todo
- Try signing out and back in
- Check status.panel-todo.com
Local todos disappeared
Cause: Workspace changed or VS Code storage cleared.
Fix:
- Local todos are workspace-specific - check you're in the right folder
- If you moved/renamed the folder, todos may be lost
- Consider upgrading to Pro for cloud backup
"Project not found"
Cause: Wrong project ID or project deleted.
Fix:
- List projects:
panelTodo_listProjects() - Verify the project ID
- Switch to correct project:
panelTodo_switchProject({ projectId: "..." })
Can't sign in - "Device code expired"
Cause: Took too long to enter the code.
Fix:
- Start the sign-in process again
- Enter the code within 15 minutes
Extension not loading
Fix:
- Check VS Code version (requires 1.75+)
- Reload VS Code window (
Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P→ "Reload Window") - Reinstall extension if needed
