Under the hood

Context-usage requests can specify a detail level and pin the system prompt snapshot used for the calculation.

The get_context_usage control-protocol request now accepts detail: d.request.detail and systemPromptSnapshot: v.systemPromptSnapshot when computing context usage, letting callers request a specific detail level and pin the system prompt used for the calculation.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up detail, on Third party connectors with remote MCP. * **Use Claude's published identity** (recommended): the server reads Claude's client details from a URL Anthropic hosts (Client ID Metadata Document). Nothing to set up; the server must support it. connectors/custom/remote-mcp see the edit
