When Claude searches for a tool, Claude Code now first looks for MCP servers that have failed and whose names appear in the search. It tries to reconnect them, waits a limited time, and then runs the search. This applies when Claude Code is running without its interactive screen. Previously the search went ahead without reconnecting failed servers.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf an MCP server has just dropped, a search that names it is more likely to find its tools instead of coming back empty.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
