What
MCP servers are outside tools connected to Claude Code through the Model Context Protocol. MCP passthrough offers the MCP servers you approved on this machine to cloud sessions (sessions running on remote machines). Claude Code keeps a saved record of which servers are approved.
When that record cannot be read, Claude Code now offers no MCP servers to cloud sessions and shows a one-time notice saying so. Before, it fell back to the previous state.
Why
When it is unknown which servers were approved, none are exposed to cloud sessions rather than possibly the wrong ones. If your cloud session is missing tools, this notice explains why.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtIt is unclear whether only the notice is new or the handling of an unreadable record too, and what switches passthrough on.
