What
MCP servers are outside tools that Claude Code connects to. Some of them need you to sign in first, and Claude Code then marks the connection as needs-auth. The code that sets this mark returned the wrong value and read a value that was never set. It now works as follows:
When the server is missing, or is neither connected nor already marked needs-auth, the stored state stays as it was.
When the server is already marked needs-auth, that entry stays as it is.
Why
This fixes a bug in how Claude Code keeps track of which MCP servers still need you to sign in.
