During MCP tool search, Claude Code can reconnect to a server that it reaches over the web. That reconnect now depends on a different remote switch, which is off unless it is switched on remotely.\n\nA server now has to meet stricter rules before Claude Code reconnects to it:\n\n- Its address must use `http:`. A readable address used to be enough.\n\n- Neither `ALL_PROXY` nor `all_proxy` may be set.\n\n- A few other checks must pass.\n\nA server that does not qualify is now simply left unconnected and does not count as a failure.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis reconnect stays hidden unless it is switched on remotely, and a server that does not qualify no longer shows up as a failed connection.\n\n- Flag `tengu_abundant_shore`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Flag `tengu_floating_lagoon`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: not a boolean we can read) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Tool Search\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
