Troubleshooting
| What you see | What to do |

/mcp doesn't list hitapply | Check the plugin installed, then fully quit and reopen Claude Code. |
| "forbidden" when queueing | You approved read-only access. Run /mcp again, reconnect, and allow changes. |
| It asks you to sign in again | Access lasts 30 days. Approve it again. |
