What
Plugins can serve MCP tools, which are tools provided through an external tool server, and answer calls to them with a tool.call hook, their own code that runs when Claude uses a tool. When no hook answers a call, Claude Code shows a hint suggesting you add one, with the tool name pattern to match. That pattern starts with mcp__, then a name, then __. It now uses the MCP server's name there. It used to use the plugin's name.
Why
Plugin authors can copy the suggested pattern and have it match the tool.
