Troubleshooting & FAQ (2)
feature inquiryHow can I delete individual archived submissions?
The ability to delete individual archived submissions was added in the latest release. Upgrade your software to the latest version to access the delete option for archived entries.
TroubleshootingHow to connect DocuSeal MCP server to Claude.ai Team/Enterprise custom connectors when OAuth 2.1 is required?
DocuSeal's MCP server currently only supports static Bearer token authentication, but Claude.ai Team/Enterprise custom connectors require OAuth 2.1. A workaround is to deploy an OAuth 2.1 reverse proxy (e.g., using oauth2-proxy or a custom service) in front of the /mcp endpoint that exchanges OAuth tokens for the static DocuSeal MCP token. Native OAuth 2.1 support is planned in a future update. Track issue #630 for progress.
