Currently, MCP Connectors (such as Slack) are only available in the
desktop app (claude.ai). The VSCode extension (Claude Code) requires
a Bot Token because it runs locally.
【Request】
Please enable VSCode extension to share OAuth authentication from
the desktop app's MCP Connectors.
This would allow developers to use Slack and other MCP Connectors
directly from their development environment (VSCode).
【Benefits】
- Direct Slack notifications from VSCode
- Centralized token management
- Improved security (no need to store Bot Token locally)
- Unified experience across Claude tools
【Current Limitation】
- Desktop app: MCP Connectors (OAuth) ✓
- VSCode extension: Bot Token required ✗
