Unclear It is not clear what makes the organization's MCP configuration count as held, or when that happens.
What
MCP servers are outside programs that give Claude extra tools. An organization can manage which MCP servers its members use through a configuration file. When reading that organization configuration, Claude Code now has a new condition, described as the configuration being "held". When it applies, Claude Code skips the configuration file and uses its default set of servers, with no errors reported.
Why
This can change which organization-managed MCP servers load in a session.
