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 server startup names its transport and registers a shutdown hook

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal4
MCP

The MCP server names stdio explicitly and closes cleanly on shutdown; an http mode exists uncalled.

The builder accepts an http kind that disables background tasks and unsandboxed commands, but no caller requests it.

What

The startup path for Claude Code's MCP server now explicitly asks for the stdio transport and registers a hook that closes the server on shutdown. The builder accepts an alternative http kind that disables background tasks and unsandboxed commands before serving; no caller in this build requests it.

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