Unclear The finding doesn't say what the classifier does with a server once it's classified as third-party.

What

A new function computes and caches whether the third-party MCP server classifier is enabled. It defaults to on, except when CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS is set and the provider isn't host-managed, or when overridden by CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_MODE_SERVER.

Why

This gives environments that disable experimental betas, or that set a custom auto-mode server, control over whether MCP servers get classified as third-party, rather than that behavior being fixed for everyone.
