Each of those tools has a name that starts with `mcp__`, then the server's name. When one server supplies more tools than a set limit, Claude Code can now show that server's tools as a single entry, written as the server's name followed by `__*` and the number of tools in brackets, instead of naming every tool.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you connect servers that bring many tools, the listing is much shorter.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
