  The WordPress.com MCP OAuth authorization page loads partially but the Approve button never appears. Tested in Chrome, Safari, and Brave on macOS Ventura with extensions disabled, Brave Shields off, cache cleared, and private/incognito windows. The page shows my account name and “Learn more about MCP CLI Proxy” but no action buttons. MCP is enabled in my account settings at wordpress.com/me/mcp. Paid plan.

  It sounds like you’ve hit a rare state where the OAuth handshake is authenticating your identity but failing to pull the specific ‘Approve’ action from the API. Since you’ve already cleared the usual browser hurdles, try toggling the MCP setting off and back on at wordpress.com/me/mcp to force a refresh of the permissions flag. If that doesn’t trigger the button, it’s possible that the CLI Proxy is expecting a specific callback that isn’t firing on macOS Ventura’s local environment. You might try running the login via the terminal with the –no-browser flag (if available in your specific MCP implementation) to get a manual authorization code, or reach out directly to the WordPress.com VIP/Happiness Engineers via your paid plan dashboard, as they can manually reset the OAuth tokens for your account.
