I managed to get it working by adding the SERVICE parameter to the GetMap URL in the XML file:
<MI_WMS_MapDefinition version="1.0"
wms_version="1.3.0">
<HTTP GetCapabilities="https://ows.mundialis.de/osm/service?service=wms"
GetMap="https://ows.mundialis.de/osm/service?SERVICE=WMS"/>
I have attached a working example of the table.
It seems the Capabilities document doesn't include this parameter when it lists the URLs, and MapInfo Pro doesn't automatically add anything to these URLs.

Hi Peter,
I have tried that originally - so I use ows.mundialis.de/osm/service
That find the server and the layers. But when I click to add it to the map I get the error message indicated.
The URL I posted was just to show I get a response from the service when I request getcapabilities.
I have tried the URL on its own and with some extra parameters but I don't get the map.
If you have any other ideas then that would be great.

Hey Martin
Try the URL without the Request parameter.
MapInfo Pro adds this parameter automatically and sometimes having it in the initial server URL results in weird errors.
