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

Claude's MCP status summary now lists cached servers and notes their tools are callable immediately.

What

The MCP reconnect and status summary the model sees gained a Cached line alongside Connected, Failed and Still connecting.

Details
  • The line explains that those servers' tools can be called now and that the connection is made lazily on first call.
  • Subject to the same discovery-cache gate as the cached state; the list is empty when no cached servers exist.
Evidence

Cached (their tools are available now; connects on first call):

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