2020 [Mid-conversation tool changes](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/mid-conversation-system-messages#mid-conversation-tool-changes) are in beta on the same models. On the Claude API, send the `inline-tools-2026-09-15` beta header, which also covers [defining a tool inside a `tool_addition` block](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/mid-conversation-system-messages#define-tools-in-a-message-beta). [Adding an MCP server that way](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/mid-conversation-system-messages#add-an-mcp-server-mid-conversation-beta) needs a second beta header, `mcp-client-2026-09-15`, which is available on the Claude API. The `mid-conversation-tool-changes-2026-07-01` header works for changes that name a tool by reference, on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud.
