Claude Code v2.1.228 11 Aug 2026

Managed-settings MCP server entries are kept instead of discarded

You'll notice

Useful3 Signal2

MCP

A malformed MCP servers block in managed settings is kept with a warning, not silently dropped.

What

When a policy-managed settings file has an MCP servers field that is not the expected shape, the field is now kept and a warning is logged, instead of the whole field being silently removed with "This field was ignored."

Details

Applies to the policy settings path only; other settings validation still drops invalid fields as before.

Evidence

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