[BUG] GitHub Connector connected in Claude Desktop but not recognized by Claude

### Preflight Checklist - [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet - [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs) - [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code ### What's Wrong? When the GitHub Connector is enabled in Claude Desktop, Claude does not recognize or have access to any GitHub-related tools. Even after restarting the app, Claude responds as if no connector is connected at all. ### What Should Happen? After connecting the GitHub Connector in Claude Desktop settings, Claude should be able to recognize and use GitHub tools (e.g., reading repositories, listing issues, etc.) within the conversation. ### Error Messages/Logs ```shell No explicit error message shown. Claude simply states that no GitHub tools are available. ``` ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Open Claude Desktop 2. Go to Settings > Connectors 3. Connect the GitHub Connector 4. Restart Claude Desktop 5. Start a new conversation and ask Claude to access GitHub (e.g., "What are my repositories?") 6. Claude responds with no GitHub tools available ### img <img width="1205" height="633" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9d8e6b45-901a-4127-aecf-d4887d4a0525" /> ### Claude Model None ### Is this a regression? I don't know ### Last Working Version _No response_ ### Claude Code Version none ### Platform Anthropic
