What
MCP servers are add-ons that give Claude extra tools, and some take a moment to connect. Claude Code tells Claude which servers are still pending. Servers that are still connecting during a short hold are now left out of that notice, and when there is nothing left to say, no notice is sent at all.
Why
Claude sees fewer repeated messages about servers that are about to finish connecting anyway, which keeps the conversation tidier.
