DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. 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 change notifications can be turned off per server

MCP

Claude Code can now skip subscribing to an MCP server's list-change notifications.

What

On a successful MCP connection the client no longer always subscribes to list-changed notifications. For servers on the modern protocol the subscription can be skipped, and a log line records that change-notification delivery is off for that connection.

Details
  • The skip is decided by a denylist consulted at connect time; nothing in the CLI's own settings populates it, so which servers are affected is decided outside this build.
Evidence

subscriptions/listen suppressed by the listen denylist; list_changed delivery is off for this connection

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