Troubleshooting
- “Unable to register with the Skill Finder login service”: make sure you are connecting from the published URL ( claudeskillfinder.com/mcp), not the preview URL. The preview URL redirects through Lovable's editor auth bridge and cannot complete OAuth registration.
- Sign-in loop: make sure you approve the consent screen and that pop-ups aren't blocked.
- Tools missing: re-enable the connector in the chat's tools menu — Claude only calls enabled connectors.
- Not authenticated errors: run /mcp in Claude Code and re-authenticate.
