MCP servers are add-ons that give Claude Code extra tools. Which of those tools were held back or always loaded used to come from a fixed list and the remote switch `tengu_spicy_pixel`.\n\nBoth are now replaced. Each tool name now has its own yes-or-no value in a table, and a new remote switch, `tengu_mellow_drawer`, controls it. Claude Code only treats a matching tool this way when that switch is on, and it is off unless Anthropic's servers switch it on. In a reading taken before this release, it had just turned on for this site's account.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes which switch governs how the Claude app's own tools are treated, so their behaviour can now be adjusted tool by tool.\n\n- Flag `tengu_mellow_drawer`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, 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- Area: Connectors\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
