DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Reference / Environment variables

CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_401_WAIT_MS

A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.163, including the newest one read.

What it is

Nobody has written a line about this one. It is not in any of Anthropic's reference tables and no changelog entry here carries a description of it. It is in the build, which is the whole of what this page can claim.

Presence across releases

ReleasesReadingDeclared typeDefault
2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases never mined
2.1.163 – 2.1.243 72 releases in the build int

A row reading never mined is a release with no archived bundle behind it. Nothing was read out of it, so nothing here says whether the name was in it. A declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

Changelog entries naming it

No changelog entry here has ever named it. That is a statement about what has been written, not about the name: it has been in the build since v2.1.163 without anybody writing a line about it.

Documentation pages

None of Anthropic's documentation pages this site has a copy of carries this name.

Names beside it

Every environment variable in the inventory starting claude_code_oauth, up to twelve of them.

CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_CLIENT_IDNo description from anybody. 2.1.138 CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKENOAuth refresh token for Claude.ai authentication. When set, claude auth login exchanges this token directly instead of opening a browser. Requires CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_SCOPES. Useful for provisioning authentication in automated environments 2.1.138 CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_SCOPESSpace-separated OAuth scopes the refresh token was issued with, such as "user:profile user:inference user:sessions:claude_code". Required when CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN is set 2.1.138 CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKENOAuth access token for claude.ai authentication. Alternative to /login for SDK and automated environments. Takes precedence over keychain-stored credentials. Generate one with [claude setup-token](/docs/en/authentication#generate-a-long-lived-token). Unless you run [/login](/docs/en/authentication#authentication-precedence), Claude Code uses the token you set for the whole session. To replace an expired token, generate a new one and restart 2.1.138 CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN_FILE_DESCRIPTORLogin tokens are warmed at startup, and skipped entirely for token-based auth. 2.1.138

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the environment variable does. All environment variables.
