Running /mcp in a cloud session now also lists MCP servers attached to your local machine.

Running /mcp with no arguments in a cloud/remote session (CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE) now also queries MCP servers attached to the local machine and lists them in a new section, showing each server's host name, status (connected, unreachable, or unreachable due to version mismatch), transport, and tool count. Locally-disabled or failed servers won't appear in this remote listing.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Channels reference touched a line naming /mcp after this was published. * **`curl` succeeds but nothing reaches Claude**: run `/mcp` in your session to check the server's status. A `failed` status usually means a dependency or import error in your server file. To see the stderr trace, restart with `claude --de… channels-reference see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /mcp, on Third party connectors with remote MCP. **MCP server URL**: the HTTPS address where the server accepts MCP requests, for example `https://mcp.example.com/mcp`. After you continue, Claude checks the URL and pre-fills the authentication settings it detects, marked "Detected." connectors/custom/remote-mcp see the edit
