333 * The command starts and waits for input: the server itself works. Run `claude mcp get <name>` and confirm the command shown there matches what you just ran. If the command shown differs from what you typed, you likely omitted the `--` separator before the server command. Remove the server and re-add it with `--` in place. If you wrote `.mcp.json` by hand, check its syntax and location.

335 Run `claude mcp get <name>` and confirm the command shown there matches what you just ran. If the command shown differs from what you typed, you likely omitted the `--` separator before the server command. Remove the server and re-add it with `--` in place. If you wrote `.mcp.json` by hand, check its syntax and location. Before v2.1.285, `claude mcp get` printed no `Command` line for a stdio entry saved without a `type` field, such as a hand-written `.mcp.json` entry. On those versions, run `claude mcp list` instead, which prints the command line either way.
334336 * The command errors: the message names what's missing, such as Node.js or a browser.
