Preflight Checklist
What's Wrong?
All OAuth-based connector tool calls fail with 403 in the macOS desktop app — including permission-free calls like Google Drive "list recent files" and Notion "get teams". The same account (team workspace) uses both connectors normally on claude.ai web.
Already tried, none helped:
- Disconnected & reconnected both connectors (Google's linked-apps page confirms full Drive scopes were granted)
- Fresh conversations after reconnecting
- Full app quit & restart, and OS reboot
- Signed out and back into the desktop app
What Should Happen?
Connector tool calls succeed in the desktop app, as they do on claude.ai web with the same account.
Error Messages/Logs
Tool call failed: 403
(every Google Drive / Notion connector call: Drive list_recent_files, search_files, read_file_content; Notion get-teams)
Steps to Reproduce
- In the macOS desktop app, ask Claude to list recent Google Drive files
- Every Google Drive / Notion connector tool call returns 403
- The same request on claude.ai web (same account) works fine

Additional Information
Web working + desktop failing on the same account suggests a token/credential issue in the desktop app's connector gateway. A separate API-token-based Notion MCP integration works fine in the same app, so only OAuth connector auth is affected.
