What
The status report shown by /plugin (and claude mcp) now adds the text "required by your org" next to a plugin's status line when that plugin is enabled and your organization's settings mark it as required. This is shown alongside the existing statuses for disabled plugins, plugins that loaded with errors, and plugins that loaded normally.
Why
This makes it clear at a glance which plugins are enabled because your organization requires them, rather than by your own choice, so you understand why a plugin can't simply be turned off.

Some services still expose only an SSE endpoint. Add these with the same `claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>` command as [an HTTP server](#option-1-add-a-remote-http-server). Claude Code tries the HTTP transport first and switche…see the edit

Connect Claude Code to tools via MCP modified, medium confidence
* You can set the client secret only when you add the server. When you authenticate with `claude mcp login` or from `/mcp`, Claude Code uses the stored secret and doesn't prompt for one or read `MCP_CLIENT_SECRET`see the edit
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.

A small documentation edit on Automate work with routines touched a line naming claude mcp after this was published.
Connectors are the [claude.ai integrations](/docs/en/mcp#use-mcp-servers-from-claude-ai) on your account. MCP servers you added locally in the CLI with `claude mcp add` are stored on your machine rather than your claude.ai account, so they…routines see the edit

Anthropic's documentation has since written up claude mcp, on Claude Code changelog.
* Improved `claude mcp serve`: a running tool call now sends a progress update every 30 seconds, so clients show it is still running and idle timeouts don't abort a long command that prints nothingchangelog see the edit
