build Troubleshooting

"Extension Preview Failed"

The .mcpb file may be corrupted. Re-download from your dashboard and try again.

Tools don't appear after installing

Start a brand new conversation — tools only load in fresh chats. If still missing, go to Settings → Extensions, remove ClaudConnect, and reinstall.

Google: "Developer token not approved"

Your Google Ads developer token is in Test mode. Apply for Basic access via Google Ads Manager Account → Tools → API Center. Approval takes 1-3 business days.

Meta: "Error validating access token"

Your token expired. User tokens expire after 60 days. System User tokens never expire — generate one in Meta Business Settings → System Users.

Bearer token not accepted

Check you're pasting the full token from your ClaudConnect dashboard. If you regenerated the token, reinstall the extension with the new one.
