DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Reference / Feature flags

tengu_mcp_discovery_cache

A Claude Code feature flag, read out of the shipped bundle. It was in the build from v2.1.221 and was gone by v2.1.238.

What it is

The /mcp view now counts cached servers separately so you can tell them from live connections.

Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.221.

Presence across releases

ReleasesReadingDeclared typeDefault
2.1.245 – 2.1.250 5 releases never mined
2.1.238 – 2.1.243 6 releases not in the build
2.1.221 – 2.1.237 16 releases in the build bool:true

A row reading never mined is a release with no archived bundle behind it. Nothing was read out of it, so nothing here says whether the name was in it. A declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

Two arms, because they disagree: this account is the one account this site reads and anonymous is a baseline with no identity attached. A reading says nothing about your account, and off cannot rule out a rollout both readings sit outside of. What these readings can and cannot show.

    Resuming a long-running MCP task after a restart now reconnects cached servers instead of failing.

None of Anthropic's documentation pages this site has a copy of carries this name.

Every feature flag in the inventory starting tengu_mcp_discovery, up to twelve of them.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the feature flag does. All feature flags.
