Q:

SP 2013 VS Workflow error "MTW Client is invalid"

When deploying a Workflow enabled app from Visual Studio (2012/2013), receive the error "MTW Client is invalid".  More of the same error in the ULS logs. 
SharePoint 2013 designer Workflows deploy and run successfully. 
Additionally, found these errors in the ULS logs:
Microsoft.Workflow.Client.ScopeNotFoundException: Scope '/SharePoint/default/4b83fcb9-1856-4c09-a710-f200fbbebdb7/d2ca60f6-1118-41de-8585-c913de1628ec' was not found.

Please help! 

A:

I worked with Microsoft support to resolve this issue. It ended up being a problem with the Workflow Manager 1.0 Cumulative Update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2799754). Once the CU was reapplied, Workflow worked without issue.
