Unable to publish MCP server: web form, CLI, and API key all fail

[michu5696]

Summary

I'm trying to publish an MCP server (agora402 - agent trust scoring on Base) and all three publishing methods fail:

1. Web form at smithery.ai/new

• Namespace: michu5696 validates OK (green checkmark)
• Server ID: agora402 fails with "Unable to verify server ID. Please try again" (red X)
• MCP Server URL: https://agora402.fly.dev/mcp
• Tried multiple alternative server IDs - all fail with the same error
• No requests from Smithery appear in our server logs

2. CLI (smithery mcp publish)

• smithery auth login fails with "Failed to mint token"
• Without auth, publish obviously fails too

3. API key from smithery.ai/account/api-keys

• smithery auth whoami works (recognizes the token)
• smithery mcp publish with SMITHERY_API_KEY env var fails with 401 "Invalid API key or session token"
• smithery auth token (mint service token) also fails with 401

Server details

• MCP endpoint: https://agora402.fly.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport, working and tested)
• Server card: https://agora402.fly.dev/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json (serving correctly)
• CORS is configured to allow requests from any origin
• The MCP initialize handshake works correctly (tested with curl)

Environment

• @smithery/cli@4.5.0
• macOS
• Node 20

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to smithery.ai/new
2. Enter namespace: michu5696, server ID: agora402, URL: https://agora402.fly.dev/mcp
3. Server ID validation fails immediately

Or via CLI:

npx @smithery/cli@latest auth login  # "Failed to mint token"

I have this too "Failed to mint token"
