When you switch one off, Claude Code closes it. Claude Code now tells apart a close that timed out from one that failed, where before both were recorded as failed.\n\nIt also remembers which servers it switched off itself, so that a reconnect skips them.\n\n**Why**\n\nA server you switched off is no longer brought back by a reconnect while it is still closing.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
