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.

Non-blocking MCP connect only turns off on an explicit false

Use it now
Useful3 Signal2
MCP Notable

Only an explicit false in MCP_CONNECTION_NONBLOCKING now turns off non-blocking MCP connections.

MCP_CONNECTION_NONBLOCKING
What

The check for MCP_CONNECTION_NONBLOCKING now compares the parsed setting against false instead of coercing the raw environment string, so any value other than an explicit false leaves non-blocking MCP server connection enabled.

Evidence

MCP_CONNECTION_NONBLOCKING

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