What
MCP servers are outside services that give Claude Code extra tools. When one needs you to sign in, the messages you see have been reworked:
The messages for a server that is not connected, one that needs you to sign in again, and one that needs extra permissions now come from shared text instead of being written separately in each place. The exact wording may have changed.
That text depends on where you are running. In one mode it says the user can reconnect the server in their claude.ai connector settings. In another it says to run /mcp.
The reminder about MCP servers that need sign-in was reworked the same way. Before, it chose only between /mcp and "claude mcp or /mcp in an interactive session".
Before, the extra-permissions message included the requested scope and always told you to run /mcp.
Why
In sessions where /mcp is not available, the message can now point to a fix you can actually use.
