What

Servers whose tools came from the discovery cache now have a defined status in the serialized MCP server state used by the SDK and status consumers.

Details
  • The serializer exposing name, status, config, scope and serverInfo maps the internal cached client type to the wire status pending.
  • serverInfo is now reported for cached clients as well as connected ones.
  • Only reachable when the discovery cache actually produces a cached client, which is governed by tengu_mcp_discovery_cache.
Evidence

return e === "cached" ? "pending" : e;
