Troubleshooting
I don’t see Connectors or Add custom connector
- Your Claude plan or workspace permissions may restrict custom connectors.
- On Team/Enterprise, ask an Owner to add Marrow first.
Sign-in or approval keeps looping
- Allow pop-ups for
claude.aiand Marrow. - Retry in a private window to rule out extension issues.
Auth errors after connecting
- Re-add the connector or reconnect OAuth from AI Platforms.
- For Claude Code, confirm the MCP key is active and not revoked.
Security
- Marrow is read-only and never posts on your behalf.
- Access follows the Marrow user who approved the connection.
- Revoke OAuth sessions or rotate MCP keys from AI Platforms anytime.
