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.

MCP Server Auto-Reconnection with Backoff

What

Failed remote MCP servers now automatically reconnect using exponential backoff instead of staying disconnected.

Details
  • Logs: [MCP] Retry: N failed remote server(s) after Xms backoff
  • Stops retrying when all servers reconnect: [MCP] Retry: all remote servers connected, stopping
  • Reports persistent failures: remote server(s) still failed after all retries:
Evidence

MCP reconnection logic (search for "[MCP] Retry" and "failed remote server")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
