What's Wrong?

After completing the OAuth flow successfully, Claude Code fails to establish the MCP connection and times out. The error shown is:

▎ Got new credentials, but reconnecting to [server] failed: MCP server "[server]" connection timed out after 30000ms

The server endpoint is confirmed active — a direct curl returns HTTP 401 in ~0.3s, meaning the endpoint is reachable and responding. The issue appears to be in the handshake between Claude Code and the server after authentication completes.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Configure an HTTP-type MCP server with OAuth (e.g. Glean)
  2. Run /mcp and authenticate — the OAuth flow completes successfully in the browser
  3. Claude Code attempts to reconnect and times out

Environment:

Additional observations:

  • The OAuth token is not persisted in the macOS keychain after authentication
  • ~/.claude/mcp-needs-auth-cache.json remains empty throughout
  • Reproduces consistently with and without corporate VPN
  • Clear authentication + re-authenticate does not resolve the issue

What Should Happen?

After OAuth completes successfully, Claude Code should establish the MCP connection, persist the token, and the server should appear as connected and ready to use.
