Common Problems
- MCP OAuth: Dataverse MCP rejected by RFC 8414 issuer check (login.windows.net vs login.microsoftonline.com)
Finding: In an external report on GitHub Copilot CLI, MCP OAuth to a Dataverse (Dynamics 365) HTTP MCP server fails on version 1.0.94-3, with the reporter also seeing it on 1.0.91, 1.0.92 and 1.0.93-4, when running /mcp auth dataverse-mcp.

- [Anthropic Workload Identity Federation] Every token exchange denial returns opaque 401 'Authentication failed' — real reason (jti_reused, match_subject_prefix, workspace_id_required, clock skew) onl…
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented: denials are deliberately opaque; deny reason recorded in authentication history. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Retrying the same JWT: with jti it is rejected as a replay. Other error fragments: - jti_reused - match_subject_prefix - workspace_i
- [java-genai] 'API key must either be provided or set in the environment variable GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY' / 'Authentication is not set up' / 'Failed to get application default credentials'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Gemini API mode reads GOOGLE_API_KEY (preferred) or GEMINI_API_KEY; Vertex mode needs project+location or API key and loads ADC scoped to cloud-platform. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Authentication is not set up. Please provide either a project and locat
- [claude-code] [BUG] HTTP MCP: OAuth succeeds, then initialize hangs until CONNECT_TIMEOUT (raising MCP_TIMEOUT doesn't help)
## Observed symptom [BUG] HTTP MCP: OAuth succeeds, then initialize hangs until CONNECT_TIMEOUT (raising MCP_TIMEOUT doesn't help) - [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet - [x] This is a single bug report - [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code An HTTP (streamable) MCP server
- [Claude Code] MCP OAuth: 'No available ports for OAuth redirect' / 'OAuth callback port <port> is already in use' (Hyper-V reserved ranges, sandbox policy)
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Local port bind failure for the OAuth redirect listener. Fix status: released_fix (fixed in v2.1.268 (OS-assigned port fallback)) Other error fragments: - OAuth callback port <port> is already in use — another process may be holding it. Run `lsof -ti:<port> -sTCP:LISTEN` to find it

- Linux desktop app: OAuth login fails after Google consent (no handler for callback deeplink)
Finding: In a single fresh external report (GitHub issue #101069, opened 2026-10-10), the Claude Code desktop app on a headless Ubuntu server with no desktop environment fails Google sign-in at the browser-to-app handoff. After the user completes Google consent in the browser, the OS reportedly says no application is r
- Codex CLI: MCP codex_apps authentication fails with token_revoked after codex logout and codex login
Finding: In one external report, codex-cli 0.162.0 on Windows with a WSL2 Ubuntu distro (ChatGPT Plus) fails to start the codex_apps MCP server with HTTP 401 and code token_revoked, and running terminal-level codex logout followed by codex login did not clear the error (https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/52668).

- [pi] ChatGPT OAuth Error 400 when signing in to OpenAi
## Observed symptom ChatGPT OAuth Error 400 when signing in to OpenAi when trying to add OpenAI provider I get the following error after authorizing from chatgpt: `Error: Failed to login to OpenAI: OpenAI OAuth token request failed (400): {` ## Literal error text ``` Error: Failed to login to OpenAI: OpenAI OAuth token
- [Crush MCP OAuth] '<server> does not support automatic OAuth client registration; register an OAuth app with the provider and set oauth_client_id'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Crush rewrites the SDK error to point at oauth_client_id/oauth_client_secret config fields. Fix status: documented_behavior Unknowns: - Redirect URI/port requirements for pre-registered apps not checked Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - ht
- [Claude Code] Headless/CI run fails 'Not logged in · Please run /login' because no credential reaches the process
Cause (Documented platform behavior): No valid credential available to the process; background/cloud workers show 'Could not resolve authentication method', which older versions could also emit with valid creds. Fix status: documented_behavior (fixed in 2.1.176 (background/cloud idle worker variant)) Misleading approac
- [Claude Code login] 'OAuth error: Invalid code. Please make sure the full code was copied'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Short-lived code / truncated paste. Fix status: documented_behavior Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/troubleshoot-install#oauth-error-invalid-code (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: expire
- [Gemini CLI remote A2A agents] 'OAuth2 authentication for agent "<name>" requires a client_id' / 'requires authorization_url and token_url' / 'has neither agentCardUrl nor agentCardJson'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): The OAuth2 provider requires client_id and discovers authorization_url/token_url from the agent card's oauth2 scheme when not given; agent definitions must point to a card by URL or inline JSON. When no A2AClientManager exists, the registry logs a debug warning and skips the agent.
- [PostgreSQL (Debian/Ubuntu packages)] 'FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"' — psql over the Unix socket uses peer auth, which requires the OS user name to match; use -h localhost fo…
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Peer auth maps the OS user name to the DB user and is only supported on local connections. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source/docs-derived; not reproduced. - Distribution default pg_hba rules not fetched here. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced
- [GitHub Copilot CLI / SDK] Misleading 'Session was not created with authentication info or custom provider' when auth-token validation actually failed (e.g. GitHub API rate limit) — fixed 1.0.57
Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): The generic message masked the underlying validation failure; 1.0.57 surfaces the real reason instead. Fix status: released_fix (fixed in 1.0.57) Misleading approaches: - Treating the message as 'no token passed' and re-plumbing credentials when the real cause was rate limiting. Limi
- [GitHub CLI] 'gh auth login' run by an agent without a TTY silently starts the browser device flow — prints 'Open this URL to continue in your web browser' and blocks polling instead of failing
Cause (Documented platform behavior): login.go sets Interactive only when the terminal can prompt; with no token the shared login flow uses the web (OAuth device) flow, and in non-interactive mode the flow just prints the code/URL and polls for authorization. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Re-

## Observed symptom [BUG] OAuth login fails with status code 400 in VS Code and "Invalid code" in CLI on macOS - [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet - [x] This is a single bug report (please f
- [Claude Code on Google Vertex / Agent Platform] 'Google Cloud credentials expired or invalid' (401) vs 'Google Cloud authentication failed' (403)
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Agent Platform reports expiry as 401 and authorization denials as 403. Before v2.1.273 both showed a generic 'Please run /login' / 'Failed to authenticate' that can't refresh GCP credentials. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Running /login on < v2.1.273 — it
- [Kilo CLI Snowflake Cortex provider] 'Snowflake Cortex: missing credentials (SNOWFLAKE_ACCOUNT, SNOWFLAKE_CORTEX_TOKEN)' / 'Snowflake token response did not include refresh_token'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): The provider loader lists the missing pieces in the error; the OAuth exchange requires both access_token and refresh_token and rejects responses without them. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Strings were extracted read-only with `strings` from the Bun-compiled @kiloc
- [Azure CLI] Token acquisition fails after MFA/Conditional Access (e.g. AADSTS50076): 'Run the command below to authenticate interactively' with az logout + az login --tenant/--scope
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Silent token refresh cannot satisfy the new policy; an interactive login for that tenant/scope is required. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Specific AADSTS codes vary; the source comment names MFA/Conditional Access and CAE as the cases. Evidence (public sources, sum
- [Claude Code] claude.ai connector shows 'connected · session token rejected' / 'claude.ai rejected the session token. Run /login, then reconnect.' — Claude Code login expired; re-authorizing the conn…
Cause (Documented platform behavior): claude.ai rejected the token from the Claude Code login (not the connector's own authorization). Before v2.1.222 this was mislabeled as the connector needing authentication. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Re-authorizing the connector in claude.ai — the rej

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Older client libraries do not support SCRAM authentication; the numeric 10 is AuthenticationSASL. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Resetting the password alone — with the default password_encryption it is re-hashed as SCRAM again. Limitations: - Source/docs-
- Official Meta Ads MCP fails OAuth login with invalid_client_metadata
Finding: Multiple users report that Codex fails OAuth login to the official Meta Ads MCP endpoint https://mcp.facebook.com/ads. Dynamic client registration returns HTTP 400 invalid_client_metadata ("Dynamic registration is not available for this client") before any browser consent opens. The issue's original report cov
- [Claude Code] /usage or status line: 'OAuth token does not meet scope requirement: user:profile'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Token was issued before the user:profile scope was required. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - A long-lived CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN from setup-token may need regeneration — not stated in docs Unknowns: - Whether setup-token tokens include user:profile Evidence (public
- [Qwen Code] 'Qwen OAuth free tier was discontinued on 2026-04-15' — qwen-oauth login no longer provides free models; switch to Coding Plan, API key or another provider
Cause (Documented platform behavior): The free Qwen OAuth tier was discontinued on 2026-04-15; the CLI now lists it as discontinued and directs users to Alibaba Cloud Coding Plan, an API key, or other providers (OpenRouter, Fireworks AI). Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the published @qwen-code
- [kubectl/client-go] Credential exec plugin failures: 'exec plugin: invalid apiVersion "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1"' or 'exec: executable <plugin> not found'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): client-go accepts only client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1 and v1 for exec plugins, and must execute the configured binary from PATH. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - It looks like you are trying to use a client-go credential plugin that is not installed. -
- [MCP C# SDK client OAuth] 'Resource URI in metadata (...) does not match the expected URI (...)' — PRM resource must equal the endpoint URL or its bare origin
Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client accepts only an exact (normalized, case-insensitive) match with the endpoint URI or the authority-only base URL, per the spec's canonical server URI rules; a missing resource also fails. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - does not match the expected
- [openai-node] 'Could not resolve authentication method. Expected either apiKey or adminAPIKey to be set...' when routing through a proxy/gateway without a key
Cause (Documented platform behavior): The client validates that some auth method exists unless the caller explicitly omits the auth headers. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from SDK source code on main (7.23.0); no issue thread read. Unknowns: - Whether null header values are the supported omissi
- [anthropic] Custom connector shows "didn't finish" instead of authorization server error (e.g. invalid_scope)
## Observed symptom Custom connector shows "didn't finish" instead of the authorization server's error (e.g. invalid_scope) When a custom connector's authorization server rejects the authorize request and redirects back to `https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback` with an OAuth error, claude.ai drops the error. The con
- [gemini-cli] bug(mcp): MCP OAuth fails to obtain refresh_token and drops client_secret during background token refresh
## Observed symptom bug(mcp): MCP OAuth fails to obtain refresh_token and drops client_secret during background token refresh When configuring and using remote MCP servers that utilize OAuth 2.0 with Google endpoints (such as Google Workspace APIs like Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive) or other confidential OAuth providers
- [mcp-remote OAuth] 'Could not find a free callback port for this server (tried N-M). Close whatever is holding those ports, or pass a port as the second argument'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): OAuth redirect needs a local listener on a registered callback port; mcp-remote tries a small candidate range and fails when all are busy. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Close whatever is holding those ports, or pass a port as the second argument to choose
- [Open WebUI] "You can't turn off authentication because there are existing users" when setting WEBUI_AUTH=False
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Single-user no-auth mode only allowed on fresh installs. Fix status: documented_behavior Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-webui/open-webui/8bd8b4fac5e059578ac0c74b3c18d11139f88b7d/backend/open_webui/
- [GitHub OAuth device flow] Polling returns 'slow_down' repeatedly — each slow_down adds 5 s to the required interval and the new interval must be used
Cause (Documented platform behavior): GitHub rate-limits device polling: more than one request per interval returns slow_down, which adds 5 seconds to the last interval; the error response includes the new interval. authorization_pending means keep polling at the interval. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading app
- [mcp] Refused OAuth callback leaves MCP connection pending until 15-minute TTL
## Observed symptom A refused OAuth callback leaves the connection pending until the flow's 15-minute TTL **Type**: bug **File**: src/api/routes/mcp-auth.ts (`readCallbackParams`, the `error` branch) **Priority**: med **Found during**: #1431 **Description**: When the authorization server redirects back with `?error=` (
- [Elasticsearch 8+/9 Docker/local] http://localhost:9200 fails — server logs 'received plaintext http traffic on an https channel, closing connection'; with https but no creds: 401 'missing authentica…
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Elasticsearch 8+ is secure by default: HTTPS with an auto-generated CA (http_ca.crt) and authentication. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Retrying with a different port or firewall changes — the server is up, just speaking TLS. Limitations: - Source/docs-der
- [MCP TS SDK v2 OAuth client] 'ReferenceError: crypto is not defined' — running on Node.js 18 or earlier (SDK requires Node 20 Web Crypto global)
Cause (Documented platform behavior): OAuth helpers sign/verify via globalThis.crypto; every @modelcontextprotocol/* package requires Node.js 20. Fix status: documented_behavior Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript
- [kkRepo] [Bug]: Nuget client can't authenticate with repo (LDAP)
## Observed symptom [Bug]: Nuget client can't authenticate with repo (LDAP) I've set up kkRepo as a proxy for Nuget.org with LDAP authentication for internal users. LDAP itself is working fine; I can log into the kkRepo portal via a browser and that seems to work correctly. However, attempting to load a nuget via `dotn
- [Zed + Vercel AI Gateway] 'Authentication failed for Vercel AI Gateway. Use a Vercel AI Gateway key (vck_...)' — OIDC-token error when a non-gateway key is used
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Zed rewrites upstream gateway errors containing 'vercel_oidc_token'+'oidc token' or 'invalid api key' into these guidance messages; the gateway expects keys created on the AI Gateway keys page (prefix vck_). Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the open-source z

- [MCP Python SDK 2.x transports/OAuth] cross-origin or method-changing redirects are not followed — 'Token exchange failed (30x) (redirected to <url>; not followed)' or connect fails on http→https / a…
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Transports follow redirects only while they stay within the request's origin and method (e.g. trailing-slash 307/308 normalization); everything on the request was configured for one endpoint. OAuth providers apply the same rule. The client's own follow_redirects setting is ignored.
- [GitHub App/OAuth web flow] 'redirect_uri_mismatch' / 'incorrect_client_credentials' / 'bad_verification_code' / 'unverified_user_email' when exchanging codes for user tokens
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented troubleshooting cases for user access token generation; omitting redirect_uri defaults to the first registered callback URL.

- [google-github-actions/auth WIF] Permission denied: 'Failed to generate Google Cloud federated token' (pool admission / attribute condition) vs 'Failed to generate OAuth 2.0 Access Token' (service ac…
Cause (Documented platform behavior): 'federated token' failure = admission into the Workload Identity Pool failed (attribute conditions); 'OAuth 2.0 Access Token' failure = service account impersonation failed (principalSet/roles).

- [Warp Oz third-party harness] Task fails fast: "Harness '<claude|codex>' could not make a successful API request. Matched failure pattern '<p>' in harness output" (credits, invalid key, expired OAuth…
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Before launching, the driver runs the harness's auth check (claude auth status --json, codex login status). While running, a monitor scans the harness terminal block on a backoff schedule for known failure substrings per harness and, after confirming the output has stalled (up to 6
- [devcontainer CLI --oci-auth-hardening] Feature/template pulls fail: 'Registry '<host>' requested authentication from untrusted realm '<url>'' — add --allow-cross-origin-auth-host
Cause (Documented platform behavior): httpOCIRegistry checks the bearer realm against same-authority/allowed mappings and logs the ERR with an allow hint; the yargs check rejects --allow-cross-origin-auth-host without hardening.

- [MCP TS SDK client] 'Server returned 401 after re-authentication' — freshly obtained token still rejected (audience/resource or issuer mismatch at the MCP server)
Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK retries exactly once after re-auth and then fails typed instead of looping. A new token that is immediately rejected usually means the server's token validation does not accept what the AS issues (e.g. wrong audience/resource, issuer, or missing exp) — cause is deployment-s

Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Bug in the SDK retry path affecting authentication on retried requests (issue labeled Service Attention; closed via PR #44983). Fix status: fixed_upstream Misleading approaches: - Rotating keys or changing credentials does not help; the 401 is a symptom of the retry bug. Unknowns: -
- live.connect() (Vertex AI) resolves ADC and refreshes the OAuth token synchronously on the event loop on every connect
Finding: In an external report, google-genai 2.24.0 (google-auth 2.58.0, Python 3.12, Vertex AI backend with service-account ADC) is said to block the asyncio event loop during AsyncLive.connect(). The reporter says the Vertex branch calls google.auth.default() and creds.refresh() synchronously before opening the webso
- [Microsoft Entra service principal auth] 'AADSTS7000215' Invalid client secret / 'AADSTS7000222' client secret keys expired — az login --service-principal, azure/login, ClientSecretCredential
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Credential mismatch or expiry on the app registration. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Re-checking RBAC role assignments — authorization never happens because authentication failed. - Retrying/refreshing in a loop — the grant cannot be refreshed. Limitation
- [Claude Code] 'API Error: 400 ... "This organization has been disabled"' despite an active subscription — stale ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

- [openai-python Bedrock provider] Stale AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK silently overrides the AWS credential chain; 'Bedrock authentication is ambiguous' / 'Could not find credentials for Bedrock'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented auth order: explicit credentials > AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK > default AWS chain; explicit bearer and AWS modes cannot be combined; SigV4 needs the bedrock extra and a region. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Refreshing AWS SSO/profile credentials
- [langchain-aws] Bedrock API key (api_key / bearer token) silently wins over AWS credentials — 'Both api_key and AWS credentials were provided. Using api_key for authentication' — and fails with 'Bear…

## Observed symptom MCP OAuth: after a 5xx on refresh, every later refresh returns 400 until manual re-login The Cloudflare MCP server (`cloudflare-api`) had been refreshing its token hourly without trouble after a fresh login. Then: - One refresh got **503** from the token endpoint (`OAuth token exchange failed: 503`)
- [Claude Code] Remote MCP tool call fails 'MCP server "<name>" needs you to sign in again' / 'needs additional permissions (scope: ...)' mid-session
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Server-side credential rejection; the message variant tells which credential source failed. Pre-v2.1.273 all cases showed 'requires re-authorization (token expired)'. If oauth.scopes is pinned, Claude Code requests those scopes rather than the one the server named, so a missing sco
- [Claude Code] 'Could not refresh your login because another Claude Code process is refreshing it'
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Another process holds the shared OAuth refresh lock or exited mid-refresh leaving it behind; the refresh made no progress while this session waited.

- Wrangler 4.126.0: network failure during OAuth token refresh is reported as expired login
Finding: In wrangler 4.126.0, when stored OAuth credentials are expired and the refresh request to the token endpoint fails at the network level (no HTTP response), wrangler may report an expired login instead of a connectivity problem. This is an external report with no KFA reproduction. [Source](https://github.com/cl
- [mcp-context-forge] Gateway OAuth callback rejects authorization codes longer than 2048 chars (HTTP 422)
## Observed symptom [BUG]: Gateway OAuth callback rejects authorization codes longer than 2048 chars (HTTP 422) `GET /oauth/callback` returns HTTP 422 when `code` is longer than 2048 characters. The request fails in query validation, before the token exchange. ContextForge then gets no token for the upstream MCP server

- [GitHub API] Unauthenticated calls from agents/CI share a 60 requests/hour per-IP budget; a user's 5,000/hour budget is shared with every app acting on their behalf
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Unauthenticated requests are associated with the originating IP, limited to 60/hour. Authenticated user requests (PATs, and GitHub/OAuth apps acting for the user) all count toward the personal 5,000/hour; requests by a 15,000/hour GHEC app reduce what remains for lower-limit method

Recommended action: Use `sudo -u postgres psql`, or connect over TCP (psql -h localhost -U user) where host rules use scram-sha-256, or add a user map / change the local rule deliberately. Option: Use TCP or matching OS user [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See record scope. Steps: 1. psql -h local
- Proposed fix: [mcp-remote OAuth] 'Could not find a free callback port for this server (tried N-M). Close whatever is holding those ports, or pass a port as the second argument'
Recommended action: Kill stale mcp-remote/node processes or pass an explicit free port as the second argument (then re-register if the redirect URI changed). Option: Free or pin a port [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See trigger Steps: 1. npx mcp-remote https://server/mcp 9876 2. Stop other instan
- Proposed fix: [Claude Code] 'OAuth token has expired' / 'OAuth token revoked' in long-running or CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN sessions
Recommended action: Run /logout then /login; for automation generate a fresh token with `claude setup-token` and restart; for 'Invalid authentication credentials' check /status for an API key taking precedence or org access removal. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
- Proposed fix: [azure-identity on AKS] 'WorkloadIdentityCredential authentication unavailable. The workload options are not fully configured' / AADSTS700211-700212 'No matching federated identity recor
Recommended action: Ensure the webhook injects the env vars (service account annotation/pod label per AKS docs) or pass client_id/tenant_id/token_file_path explicitly; for AKS identity bindings construct WorkloadIdentityCredential(enable_azure_proxy=True) directly, not via DefaultAzureCredential. Evidence basis (self-d
- Researched guidance: How do MCP Client ID Metadata Documents differ from dynamic client registration?
## Summary MCP distinguishes a client-hosted Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD) from OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (DCR): CIMD uses the HTTPS URL of a JSON metadata document as the client_id and lets an authorization server fetch and validate it on demand, while DCR sends metadata to an authorization-server registr
- Proposed fix: [goose ChatGPT/Codex provider] 'OAuth callback server failed to bind to 127.0.0.1:1455: port 1455 is already in use' — collides with Codex CLI login / another OAuth flow
Recommended action: Finish or kill the other process using port 1455 (e.g. an in-progress codex login), then retry the goose sign-in. Option: Finish or kill the other process using port 1455 (e.g. an in-progress codex login), then retry the goose sign-in. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Configurin
- Researched guidance: How should an MCP client refresh an expired token without replaying a completed write?
## Summary Refresh credentials before retrying an MCP request only when the failure is a definite authentication rejection; do not blindly replay an MCP POST after an ambiguous disconnect or timeout. ## Candidate action Use a single-flight OAuth refresh and a one-retry authentication path. For a definite MCP HTTP 401 w
- Proposed fix: [java-genai] 'API key must either be provided or set in the environment variable GOOGLE_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY' / 'Authentication is not set up' / 'Failed to get application default c
Recommended action: Export GEMINI_API_KEY (or GOOGLE_API_KEY, which wins if both set); for Vertex set project/location (GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT/GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION) and configure ADC or pass credentials explicitly. Option: Provide credentials [evidence: official_recommended_action] Steps: 1. export GEMINI_API_KEY=... 2.
- Researched guidance: How should an MCP server handle clients that omit the resource parameter?
## Summary Treat an omitted OAuth resource parameter as a client/authorization-server interoperability issue, not as permission to accept an unbound token. MCP clients must send the canonical MCP-server resource in both authorization and token requests; an MCP server must validate the presented token's intended audienc
- Proposed fix: [GitHub OAuth app device flow] Token polling fails with 'device_flow_disabled' — device flow must be enabled in the app settings (client_secret not needed)
Recommended action: Enable Device Flow in the app settings and pass only client_id (and grant_type urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code when polling). Option: Enable device flow for the app [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: See trigger Steps: 1. App settings → check Enable Device Flow 2. pol
- Solution for f03a29d8-8912-4f11-88a8-e191abf85db9: Run the apiKeyHelper command directly in a shell and fix it so stdout contains o
## Cause Claude Code re-runs apiKeyHelper for credentials; invalid helper output is rejected before use, leaving a placeholder credential that the API returns as 401. Authentication precedence puts apiKeyHelper ahead of /login. ## Steps 1. Run /status and confirm apiKeyHelper is the active credential source and read th
