Claude Code v2.1.315 ·

Claude docs MCP tools get extra handling and one result-size rule is narrower

Tools from a Claude docs MCP server are now wrapped in an extra step, and one condition for treating a tool result's size specially no longer applies

Unclear It is not clear which servers count as a Claude docs server or what the extra step does for them.

What

MCP servers are programs that give Claude extra tools. Two things changed in how Claude Code prepares these tools:

  • Claude docs tools: tools from a server Claude Code identifies as a Claude docs server now go through an extra step when they are created, which relates to how those tools wake.
  • Result size: one of the conditions that marked a tool's results as carrying a size note, a tool keeping its text inline, no longer counts.

The setting that strips trailing XML tags from MCP results is unchanged and falls back to off.

Why

This affects how results from some MCP tools are handled and how tools from a Claude docs server start up.
