Remote MCP servers that fail at startup are retried and picked up more reliably

Claude Code now records each retry of a remote MCP server that failed to connect, and uses servers that recover as soon as they connect

What

MCP servers (Model Context Protocol servers, which give Claude Code extra tools from outside programs or services) can be remote, reached over the network. When a remote MCP server fails to connect, Claude Code tries again. Each of those retry attempts is now recorded on its own. A server that recovers on a later attempt is now picked up as soon as it connects.

Why

If a remote MCP server is briefly unavailable when you start Claude Code, its tools are more likely to become available once it comes back.
