What

The MCP client SDK can now be switched between v1 and v2 via an environment variable or feature flag.

Usage
MCP_SDK_GENERATION=v2 claude ...   # force SDK v2
MCP_SDK_GENERATION=v1 claude ...   # force SDK v1 (default)
Details
  • Default is v1 unless the tengu_brindle_causeway feature flag is active
  • Invalid values are ignored with a warning: "MCP_SDK_GENERATION=X is invalid; expected 'v1' or 'v2' — ignoring"
  • A runtime tripwire catches mismatches between the selected generation and the loaded module
  • The selection source (env/growthbook/default) is logged and reported via telemetry
Evidence

New env var and generation selector (search for "MCP_SDK_GENERATION")

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

Feature flag
tengu_brindle_causeway Off by default, switched on for this account

The shipped code defaults this off, and the flag server returned on for the one account this site reads on this version. That is the reading that makes the entry above worth a second look, and it still says nothing about your account.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.218. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns on for tengu_brindle_causeway, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
