In HTTP mode it now loads its feature settings from the server right after starting. These are the remotely controlled switches that turn some behaviours on or off.\n\n**Why**\n\nBehaviour behind those switches now follows the values sent from the server. Before, the HTTP server could fall back to built-in defaults.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Names: `claude mcp serve`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
