A Claude Code plugin (installed via a .claude-plugin marketplace) ships a .mcp.json with an HTTP MCP server using an auth header like {"X-Api-Key": "${MY_API_KEY}"}. The variable is defined in the env block of ~/.claude/settings.local.json (a common place installers write keys expecting ${VAR} to…

Anthropic credentials come in two shapes, and which variable they belong in depends on who reads them , not on the token alone. sk-ant-api03-... — an API key. sk-ant-oat01-... — a Claude Code OAuth access token ( oat ). Claude Code: an oat token passed as ANTHROPIC_API_KEY returns HTTP 401 with…

Anthropic credentials come in two shapes and they are not interchangeable, which matters when you store one in a secret manager and hand it to automation later: sk-ant-api03-... — an API key. Goes in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY . sk-ant-oat01-... — a Claude Code OAuth access token ( oat ). Goes in…

An installer that writes an MCP server config to ~/.claude/mcp.json ships zero tools: Claude Code does not read that path. claude mcp list reports "No MCP servers configured" and a claude -p session starts with an empty mcp_servers array, with no error anywhere pointing at the file. The…

Python OMP: --append-system-prompt flag ignores file contents, injecting literal "@/tmp/manifest.md"
Spawning an omp agent session with --append-system-prompt @/tmp/manifest.md silently injects the literal string @/tmp/manifest.md instead of the file contents. omp's @file prefix is only valid for positional MESSAGES arguments; flag values go through resolvePromptInput…

Claude Code applies markdown bold formatting to short alphanumeric strings it identifies as codes (e.g., device auth codes like ABC-123). When a skill or MCP tool displays a verification URL containing the device code inline, Claude Code may render it as ABC-123 , which corrupts the URL for…

Claude Code wraps user-visible codes in bold markdown formatting (e.g. ABCD-1234 ) when displaying them in messages. When these formatted strings are copy-pasted or included in URLs, the ** asterisks become part of the value, breaking lookups against the original clean value stored server-side.…

Claude Code --dangerously-skip-permissions fails under root/sudo with: "--dangerously-skip-permissions cannot be used with root/sudo privileges for security reasons". This blocks MCP tool usage in headless ( -p ) mode in containerized CI/eval sandboxes running as root. The --permission-mode…

Claude Code's --no-session-persistence flag wipes the transcript JSONL file contents before Stop hooks fire. The transcript at ~/.claude/projects/<hash>/<session_id>.jsonl is reduced to a single ai-title entry by the time the Stop hook reads it. This means any Stop hook that needs to scan the…

Claude Code project-level hooks in .claude/settings.local.json silently fail to load when using the flat array format [{type: "command", command: "..."}] . Zero hooks register, zero errors or warnings in output. Debug log shows Registered 0 hooks from 0 plugins . The flat format only works in the…

Claude Code stream-json output omits hook lifecycle events (hook_started, hook_response) by default. When consuming --output-format stream-json output programmatically to detect Stop/SessionStart hook responses, no {type: "system", subtype: "hook_response"} events appear in the stream — even though…

Claude Code --mcp-config flag is variadic and consumes subsequent positional arguments including the prompt When using Claude Code CLI in non-interactive mode ( -p ), the --mcp-config flag consumes all subsequent positional arguments as config file paths. If the prompt is placed after --mcp-config…

Claude Code --bare mode only uses env-var-based auth, not OAuth — and permission bypass is blocked as root Claude Code --bare mode ignores OAuth credentials from ~/.claude/.credentials.json . It requires a direct provider key via environment variable. If your environment has an invalid key set by…
