A recent update to Kiro CLI, version 2.4.0, introduced a change in how environment variables are handled in MCP server configurations. Previously, all environment variables were expanded, but the update now restricts this to only those listed in the 'Approved Environment Variables' setting. This change can cause 401 Unauthorized errors if sensitive variables like API keys are not explicitly added to this approved list in the Kiro CLI settings. AI
