### Describe the issue

Hello,
I'm using Claude Desktop and attempting to connect the official WordPress connector.
The OAuth flow starts correctly, and WordPress.com recognizes my account, but the authorization page never displays the permission controls or an Authorize button.
Environment
macOS
Claude Desktop
Tested in Chrome and Safari
Same behavior in both browsers
OAuth Details
Host:
https://public-api.wordpress.com
Redirect URI:
https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback
Client ID:
450609
Resource:
https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1
What I've Already Verified
My WordPress.com account is recognized correctly.
Liquid Web confirmed there is no origin/server cache affecting this flow.
Sucuri is not blocking the request.
Chrome and Safari both reproduce the same issue.
Safari console shows no meaningful JavaScript errors.
I checked my WordPress.com Developer Applications account, and I do not own the OAuth application associated with client_id=450609, so I cannot modify its redirect URIs.
Request
Could you please have someone investigate whether the OAuth application or MCP connector configuration for client_id 450609 is misconfigured?
Specifically:
Is the OAuth application functioning correctly?
Is the redirect URI (https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback) correctly configured?
Is the requested resource (https://public-api.wordpress.com/wpcom/v2/mcp/v1) currently supported?
Why does the consent page load but never render the authorization controls?
I can provide screenshots and additional diagnostics if needed.
Thank you.

### Error details

```shell
it just feezes and
```

### Expected behavior

Be able to authenticate permission to connect WP to Claude's desktop
