claude_design connector / /design-login not available
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Jun 22, 2026 by asiz15 Closed Jun 22, 2026
Claude Code injects an instruction telling me to ensure the claude_design MCP connector (https://api.anthropic.com/v1/design/mcp) is connected, and to run /design-login if it needs authorization. However, none of the pieces to act on that instruction exist:
- There is no
/design-loginslash command in the CLI (claude --helpshows nodesignreference). - The
claude_designconnector is not provisioned out of the box. - Adding it manually with
claude mcp add --transport http claude_design https://api.anthropic.com/v1/design/mcpresults in "Failed to connect" (not "needs authentication"), so no OAuth flow can be triggered.
The instruction appears to ship ahead of the feature being enabled for the account, leaving no way to act on it.
Steps to reproduce
- Observe the injected instruction referencing
claude_designand/design-login. - Run
/design-login-> command does not exist. - Run
claude mcp add --transport http claude_design https://api.anthropic.com/v1/design/mcp. - Run
claude mcp list->claude_design ... Failed to connect.
Environment
- Claude Code: 2.1.176
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
Expected
Either the connector + /design-login are available, or the instruction is not injected until the feature is enabled for the account.
