Description

After disconnecting and re-adding the Linear MCP connector via the claude.ai integrations page, the MCP server consistently fails to authenticate with the following error:

Authorization with the MCP server failed. You can check your credentials and permissions. If this persists, share this reference with support: "ofid_945313c9f7444993"

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code
  2. Run /mcp — Linear shows as "Needs authentication"
  3. Attempt to authenticate through the MCP dialog
  4. Error appears: "Authorization with the MCP server failed"
  5. Disconnected and re-added the Linear connector via claude.ai Settings → Integrations
  6. Same error persists
