What
Claude Code now releases an MCP server's ownership lease (a claim on managing that server's registration) using a backoff pattern with an 8000ms gap and a 60000ms cap, rather than releasing it immediately when certain events occur.
Why
Pacing how quickly ownership of an MCP server registration can be released and reclaimed likely helps avoid rapid churn or conflicts when multiple processes are involved.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
The exact events that trigger this release, and the precise effect of the gap/cap values, are not detailed in the evidence.
