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.

Third-party MCP server and tool names are replaced with a placeholder in telemetry

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal3
Telemetry

MCP servers you added yourself are reported as "custom" in usage data, with tool names withheld.

What

When a tool call from an MCP server is attributed in usage reporting, the server name is now sent as the literal "custom" unless that server is on a per-session list of servers marked as first-party. The tool name is withheld the same way. Servers you add yourself are therefore no longer named in reporting.

Details
  • The list is filled in at tool-call time and only when a first-party marker is present on the call, so there is no setting to opt a server in or out.
  • Plugin loading now records which marketplace each plugin came from, keyed by name and marketplace, with a counter that discards registrations left over from a previous load.

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