Unclear It is not known which servers get the plain message in place of the detailed error.

What

When reading a resource from an MCP server fails, Claude Code used to return the full underlying error text. MCP servers are outside programs that give Claude Code extra tools. For some servers, it now returns only the general message "mcp_read_resource: could not read the resource".

Why

You and Claude may see less detail about why a resource could not be read.
