What
An MCP server is an outside program that gives Claude extra tools. Such servers can send progress updates while a tool is working. Claude Code now forwards those updates to the connections registered for that server. The way Claude Code works out a tool result's status and status message has also been rewritten.
Why
This is likely to affect how progress is reported while MCP tools run.
