[Bug]: Cannot Authenticate Claude Code on MacOS

[zudsniper]

Bug Description

When using the "Authenticate" option, I am correctly redirected to Claude.ai, grab my code, but when I return, the application has exited itself. I tried this from the embedded terminal in Cursor, as well as then again from xkitty.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any terminal emulator
2. Type "vibekit", press enter
3. Navigate to the "Authenticate" option
4. Select "Login to Claude"
   (result is shown in photo attached in bug description)

Update, the shortcut vibekit claude seems to work by nature of my claude instance already being authenticated, so this isn't missing critical. But still, it should probably be fixed.

@zudsniper thanks for reporting will take a look at this.

Sure thing. This looks like a neat project. Something really valuable, in my opinion, would be using VibeKit to create a standardized place for people to define their MCP servers, and then automatically converting them into the appropriate config & placing it in the correct place as necessary when they start an agent. However, gotta do all of that with interactive permissions, because nobody likes when things are overridden.

Here's a simple cli project I made that demonstrates how simple the functionality I'm talking about is. https://github.com/zudsniper/mcp-config-convert

I think it would fit into this app neatly.

Oh also -- when using this app, and then deciding I'm just going to keep using claude code as normal for now, I had to go manually figure out where my claude settings were, because it overwrote my API_BASE_URL. I'm not sure how you can avoid this, but perhaps there is a nicer way to do this? set it not with a json file, but with the actual environment variable, exported at the vibekit runtime? just spitballing.
