Source Intelligence

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 v2.1.251

MCP auth now tracks which kind of login token it used

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal3
MCP

MCP connection failures now record which kind of login token was in play.

What

When Claude Code authenticates to a first-party MCP server, it now records whether the token came from a normal login or from a login carrying the Design connector's extra user:design:read scope. The kind of token last used is passed into connection-failure diagnostics, so a failure can be told apart by which credential was in play.

Details
  • Which kind applies depends on whether your login has the user:design:read scope.

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