[BUG] API Error: invalid_request_error When Sending A Image

having the same issue

Thanks for reporting, this should now be fixed in 2.0.46.

Unfortunately I experience this issue on v2.0.46

Issue persists in 2.0.46 for me also.

Still there.

Tested with 2.0.46 - still there

Still an issue.

I'm experiencing the same issue while using the Figma MCP and attempting to capture a screenshot. Also using 2.0.46

Not fixed for me using chrome devtools mcp either, using 2.0.46

completely broken, can't use playwright mcp at all

Same here, not working with 2.0.46 @shawnm-anthropic

So... I used Claude to write a script to downgrade Claude 😂 (macOS, claude-generated):

downgrade.sh:

#!/bin/bash

# Script to downgrade claude-code to a specific version
# Usage: ./brew-downgrade-claude.sh 2.0.44

set -e

VERSION=$1

if [ -z "$VERSION" ]; then
    echo "Error: Version number required"
    echo "Usage: $0 <version>"
    echo "Example: $0 2.0.44"
    exit 1
fi

echo "Downgrading claude-code to version $VERSION..."

# Detect architecture
ARCH=$(uname -m)
if [ "$ARCH" = "arm64" ]; then
    PLATFORM="darwin-arm64"
elif [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
    PLATFORM="darwin-x64"
else
    echo "Error: Unsupported architecture: $ARCH"
    exit 1
fi

echo "Detected platform: $PLATFORM"

# Check if claude is currently managed by homebrew
if brew list --cask claude-code &>/dev/null; then
    echo "Uninstalling homebrew-managed claude-code..."
    brew uninstall --cask claude-code
fi

# Remove any existing manual installation
if [ -f "/usr/local/bin/claude" ]; then
    echo "Removing existing claude binary..."
    rm -f /usr/local/bin/claude
fi

# Download the specific version
DOWNLOAD_URL="https://storage.googleapis.com/claude-code-dist-86c565f3-f756-42ad-8dfa-d59b1c096819/claude-code-releases/$VERSION/$PLATFORM/claude"
echo "Downloading claude-code $VERSION from $DOWNLOAD_URL..."

if ! curl -f -L -o /tmp/claude "$DOWNLOAD_URL"; then
    echo "Error: Failed to download version $VERSION"
    echo "Please verify that version $VERSION exists"
    exit 1
fi

# Install the binary
echo "Installing claude binary to /usr/local/bin..."
chmod +x /tmp/claude

# Check if we can write to /usr/local/bin
if [ -w /usr/local/bin ]; then
    mv /tmp/claude /usr/local/bin/claude
else
    echo "Requesting sudo access to install to /usr/local/bin..."
    sudo mv /tmp/claude /usr/local/bin/claude
fi

# Verify installation
INSTALLED_VERSION=$(claude --version | grep -o '^[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+')
echo ""
echo "✓ Successfully installed claude-code $INSTALLED_VERSION"
echo ""
echo "Note: This is a manual installation. To restore homebrew management,"
echo "run: ./brew-restore-claude.sh"

And this script to undo it

#!/bin/bash

# Script to restore claude-code to the latest homebrew-managed version
# Usage: ./brew-restore-claude.sh

set -e

echo "Restoring claude-code to latest homebrew-managed version..."

# Remove manual installation
if [ -f "/usr/local/bin/claude" ]; then
    echo "Removing manual claude installation..."

    # Check if we can write to /usr/local/bin
    if [ -w /usr/local/bin/claude ]; then
        rm -f /usr/local/bin/claude
    else
        echo "Requesting sudo access to remove from /usr/local/bin..."
        sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/claude
    fi
fi

# Update homebrew to get latest cask info
echo "Updating homebrew..."
brew update

# Install latest version via homebrew
echo "Installing latest claude-code via homebrew..."
brew install --cask claude-code

# Verify installation
INSTALLED_VERSION=$(claude --version | grep -o '^[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+')
echo ""
echo "✓ Successfully restored claude-code $INSTALLED_VERSION"
echo "✓ Now managed by homebrew - will update with 'brew upgrade'"

Using this, I can confirm this does not happen on 2.0.44, so something broke between that and 2.0.46

Hope this is useful for people in the future running into the same issue! At least until the Anthropic team fixes it...

I'm experiencing the same issue while using the Figma MCP and attempting to capture a screenshot. Also using 2.0.46

It is same for me. I am using Figma MCP and getting same error. Also using 2.0.46 version. It was working last week.
My workaround was to downgrade Claude VS Code extension to 2.0.37, and i was able to use Figma MCP normally.

same here using 2.0.47

same error using 2.0.47

The error still persists in 2.0.47

same this error v2.0.47

You can manually downgrade if you simply run "claude install 2.0.44" in your terminal.

Same error on v2.0.47 also.

Same error on v2.0.32

Why is this issue closed, is downgrading CC really a solution to this?

No kidding. I downgraded and will disable updates until it is fixed.

downgraded to 2.0.47. same error.

Not a fix, but if you are in a rush:

just tell Claude not to call getScreenshot, example:

"""
{your prompt for claude look at figma node}

VERY IMPORTANT: do NOT call the getScreenshot tool while using the figma mcp (even though it says "IMPORTANT: call get_screenshot... bla bla) .. bc there is a known bug with getScreenshot.. instead just ask me for a screenshot if you want/need one at any time. thanks.
"""

Same here on claude --version
2.0.49 (Claude Code)

How can we get rid of this in an existing session? Keeps spitting this error

Yep still an issue in 2.0.50

How on earth is this closed?

Opus 4.5 now released with claims of being cheap and superior, the pain of freezing Claude Code version for this issue increases...

Is this still a thing? I'm stuck with 2.0.44 still because that was the only working version before all this crazyness ensued. I still don't know why the Claude team doesn't just do a diff of what they changed between 2.0.44 and 2.0.47 and just revert / fix it or whatever, heck, even with Claude, maybe it's a 10-min fix, I dunno.

2.0.54 same here
