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.

You can mark one MCP server in .mcp.json as the coordinator's user-facing server.

.mcp.jsonCLAUDE_CODE_COORDINATOR_MODE
What

MCP server config accepts an optional role field marking the server the coordinator uses to talk to the user, and the coordinator's tool filter lets that server's tools through. It is a Claude Code extension to .mcp.json, applied only on your machine, and only takes effect when coordinator mode is on via CLAUDE_CODE_COORDINATOR_MODE.

Evidence

Coordinator mode is activated via the CLAUDE_CODE_COORDINATOR_MODE environment variable; this field only takes effect when coordinator mode is active.

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