Claude in Chrome: Team accounts show "requires a claude.ai subscription" error
Description
The Claude in Chrome extension shows "Claude in Chrome requires a claude.ai subscription" on every use, even when the user is authenticated with a valid Team account.
Steps to Reproduce
- Log in to Claude Code with a Team (org) account via
claude.aiauth - Install the Claude in Chrome Chrome extension
- Attempt to use the extension
Expected Behavior
Team accounts should be recognized as valid subscriptions and the extension should work without error.
Actual Behavior
The extension repeatedly shows: "Claude in Chrome requires a claude.ai subscription"
Root Cause (suspected)
claude auth status returns subscriptionType: null for Team/org accounts:
{
"loggedIn": true,
"authMethod": "claude.ai",
"apiProvider": "firstParty",
"subscriptionType": null
}
The Chrome extension appears to check subscriptionType and rejects null, not recognizing that Team accounts are billed at the org level and do not have a personal subscriptionType set.
Environment
- OS: macOS
- Auth method:
claude.ai(org/Team account) subscriptionTypein auth status:null
Workaround
None currently. Users on Team accounts cannot use the Claude in Chrome integration.
