The error message appears to indicate that you are missing a secret in your keychain called "Claude Code" - did you perhaps delete that one?

Posting your ~/.claude/settings.json would be helpful. You probably have an apiKeyHelper defined that uses the security command to get the secret?

[justinlevi]

The strange thing is that I don't get this at all when I run in my iTerm2 terminal. That error happens in cursor for me consistently.

[MadsRC]

That could be because MacOS allows iTerm2 to access the keychain whereas for some reason it is not allowing Cursor to do so.

cat ~/.claude/settings.json cat: /Users/jwinter/.claude/settings.json: No such file or directory
