MCP servers are outside programs that give Claude Code extra tools. The message used to end with \"(run \/mcp to re-authenticate)\" every time.\n\nIt now looks at that server's settings first. For some servers, it shows a different hint in its place.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe advice you get on how to sign back in to an MCP server can now differ from server to server.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Names: `\/mcp`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
