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.

A slow MCP reconnect can no longer overwrite the current server state

You'll notice
Useful4 Signal2
MCP

A late MCP reconnect can no longer clobber the tools and prompts of the connection you're using.

What

When an MCP server connection is re-established, Claude Code now checks whether a newer connection attempt has started since. If so it closes the connection it just made and publishes nothing, so a late-arriving reconnect cannot replace the tools, prompts and resources of the connection you are actually using.

Details
  • The check runs after connecting and again after each list_changed refresh.
  • Stale connections are torn down through detachAndCloseConnection.
Evidence

detachAndCloseConnection

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