What

The interactive menu you see when you select a server in Claude Code's MCP (Model Context Protocol, a way for Claude Code to connect to external tools and data sources) server management screen used to offer three actions: Restart, Remove, and Back. The Restart option is now gone, leaving just Remove and Back.

Why

If you were used to restarting a misbehaving MCP server directly from this menu, that shortcut is no longer there.

What the documentation says
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.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up Restart, on inference-hooks. * **Cowork.** The user edits the denied message if it is their latest one. The edit resends attached files, and **Restart from here** resends the whole message unchanged. If the content is in a file or an earlier message, the user selects … manage-claude/inference-hooks see the edit
