What

The /mcp reconnect flow checks the server's status first, and a disabled server reports that it needs enabling instead of running the reconnect state machine.

Details
  • status check happens before any reconnect attempt, so no connection cycle is started for a disabled server
  • the message points you back at /mcp to enable the server
  • other statuses still go through the normal reconnect path
Evidence

enable it in /mcp first

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