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.

Claude Code v2.1.101

MCP OAuth Completion Tool

What

A new complete_authentication tool for MCP servers that enables completing OAuth authorization flows directly within Claude Code, particularly useful in remote/SSH sessions where browser redirects don't work.

Usage

When an MCP server requires OAuth authentication, Claude can now call the authenticate tool to start the flow, then use complete_authentication with the callback URL the user pastes from their browser's address bar.

Details
  • Handles the full OAuth callback flow: validates the URL contains an authorization code, resolves the pending auth promise, and reports success or failure
  • Provides clear error messages when no OAuth flow is in progress, the callback URL is malformed, or authentication fails
  • Specifically designed for remote sessions where http://localhost:<port>/callback pages fail to load but the URL in the address bar is still valid
Evidence

MCP OAuth completion handler (search for "Complete an in-progress OAuth flow for the")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
