Lucid connector preview card fails with "MCP proxy request failed" in Codex desktop

Summary

In Codex desktop on macOS, the Lucid connector can create and export a document, and the generated Lucid web link opens correctly. The inline Codex preview card fails with:

Unable to load document
Error loading preview: MCP proxy request failed

Environment

  • App: Codex desktop
  • OS: macOS
  • Connector: Lucid
  • Test document: newly created dummy Lucidchart document

Steps To Reproduce

  1. In Codex desktop, use the Lucid connector to create a diagram.
  2. Wait for the generated connector result card to render in the thread.
  3. Open the generated Lucid edit URL in a browser.
  4. Export the same Lucid document page through the Lucid MCP tool.

Expected Behavior

Codex should render the Lucid document in the inline preview card, or show a useful recoverable preview state.

Actual Behavior

The inline preview card fails with:

Unable to load document
Error loading preview: MCP proxy request failed

The generated Lucid web URL opens correctly, and the Lucid connector can export the same document as a PNG.

Evidence

  • Lucid create diagram returned canEdit: true.
  • Generated Lucid web edit URL works.
  • lucid_export_document_as_png for page 1 works and renders the diagram.
  • The Codex app preview card is the only failing surface.
  • Full document ID and thread context are available in the /feedback submission/logs.

Notes

This looks like a Codex desktop preview/proxy issue rather than a Lucid auth or connector execution issue.
