Summary

Replace mcp_ prefix with MD5 hash-based obfuscation (t_ + 8 hex chars) for all tool names, fixing "You're out of extra usage" errors caused by server-side tool name blacklisting.

Through isolated curl testing of all 133 tools, we identified 3 blacklisted names: todowrite, background_output, background_cancel. The check is purely name-based — same tool with a different name and identical description/schema returns 200 OK.

Why this over PR #191 (PascalCase):

  1. Fragile — Anthropic can trivially add PascalCase variants to the blacklist
  2. Detectablemcp_* prefix still signals "third-party wrapper"
  3. Reactive — every blacklist expansion requires a plugin update

Our approach hashes ALL tool names via MD5 (todowrite → t_a1b2c3d4) with a stateful reverse map for response deobfuscation. Blacklist-proof, one-time fix, ~20 lines of code.

Verified working with Claude Max subscription via oh-my-opencode plugin — all agents including sub-agents function correctly.

Testing

  • All tests pass (tool name tests rewritten to round-trip pattern: obfuscate → deobfuscate)
  • Response stream deobfuscation verified across chunk boundaries
  • Error response bodies correctly deobfuscated
  • No stale mcp_ references in code or tests
  • End-to-end verified with Claude Max via oh-my-opencode (all agent types + sub-agents)
  • make all passes locally

Checklist

  • PR title follows Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, docs:, chore:, etc.)
  • make all passes locally (runs lint, build, and test)
  • Tests added or updated where applicable
  • README or docs updated where applicable

Same problem with OMO: Agent Sisyphus (Ultraworker)'s configured model anthropic/claude-opus-4-6 is not valid

You can try my fork that has both fixes (cch + tool obfuscation) merged together - symlink it into the plugin dir:

git clone https://github.com/Arkptz/opencode-claude-auth
cd opencode-claude-auth
pnpm install && pnpm run build
ln -sf "$(pwd)" ~/.local/share/opencode/plugins/node_modules/opencode-claude-auth

Also - this is most likely an OMO/OpenCode config issue, not the plugin itself. If the symlink doesn't help, share your opencode --version, claude --version, OMO version, and the agent section from your opencode.json. Debug log would help too: export CLAUDE_AUTH_DEBUG=1, restart, reproduce, grab ~/.local/share/opencode/claude-auth-debug.log.

opencode -v 1.4.3 claude -v 2.1.107 (Claude Code) oh-my-opencode -v 3.1.7

{"ts":"2026-04-14T13:53:15.912Z","event":"test_event"}

The message appears when I just open opencode and it appears, and I can't select the anthropic models from my subscription
