What
The dialog that imports MCP servers (connections that give Claude extra tools) from Claude Desktop has been rebuilt as a checkbox list.
- Space ticks or unticks a server.
- An "Import selected" row at the end confirms the import.
- A server whose name matches one you already have is marked "already exists" and starts unticked.
- Keyboard hints are hidden when screen-reader mode is on.
Why
The dialog looks and works differently from before, so anyone who imports servers from Claude Desktop will notice the new way of picking them.
