117| A server drops out with no action on your part, such as a stdio server's process exiting | Kept | The server's definitions stay unchanged. A call to one of its tools returns an error instead of running, unless Claude Code [starts the server again](/docs/en/mcp.md#stdio-servers-that-exit-or-fail-to-start) for that call |
118118| A remote server [reconnects automatically](/docs/en/mcp.md#automatic-reconnection) after its connection drops | Kept, unless a request sent while the server reconnects adds the `WaitForMcpServers` tool, which invalidates the cache once | The server's definitions stay unchanged. A request sent while the server reconnects can add `WaitForMcpServers` when the conversation hasn't listed it yet, and the tool then stays listed for the rest of the conversation |
119119| You remove a tool on purpose, such as with a [deny rule](#denying-an-entire-tool) or by disabling its server in `/mcp` | Invalidated | The definition is removed |
