Description

The claude_design MCP server fails to connect with an HTTP 404 error, even after successfully running /design-login (which reports "Design-system access authorized").

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run /design-login → returns "Design-system access authorized."
  2. Run /mcp to reconnect → fails with:

``
Failed to reconnect to claude_design: HTTP 404 at https://api.anthropic.com/v1/design/mcp
``

  1. claude_design tools (e.g. mcp__claude_design__get_claude_design_prompt) remain unavailable in the session.

Expected behavior

After successful authentication via /design-login, the claude_design MCP server should connect successfully and expose its tools.

Actual behavior

The MCP server consistently returns 404 at https://api.anthropic.com/v1/design/mcp, even though:

  • claude.ai/design is accessible and working normally in the browser.
  • /design-login reports successful authorization.

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.5.0)
