Railway CLI fails to deploy private template

I get this when I try to deploy with a private template, from the CLI:

% railway whoami
Logged in as XXX (YYY) 👋
%  railway deploy --template ZZZ
Unauthorized. Please run railway login again.

Re-logging and so on do not solve this.

Claude Code faces the same problem when using the MCP or the recommended railway plugin.

Hey, apologies for the delay here.

A few questions to help narrow this down:

  1. Can you share the output of railway status? I want to confirm which project/environment is linked.
  2. Does deploying a public template (e.g., railway deploy --template postgres) work, or do you get the same error?
  3. Is this a template you created yourself in your workspace?

That'll help us figure out where the auth check is failing.

Hi,

I do not get this problem with the API, and I am now using it instead. I have found telling Claude to use it to be much more reliable than the CLI, MCP and plugin.

Cheers,

Gabe
