Claude Code v2.1.48 ·

MCP-CLI Removed

What

The experimental mcp-cli command-line interface for MCP servers has been removed.

Details
  • The ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_MCP_CLI environment variable is no longer recognized
  • The mcp-cli command (info, call, servers, tools, grep, resources, read) is removed
  • MCP tools continue to work through the normal tool interface

Impact: If you relied on mcp-cli commands in bash scripts or hooks, migrate to using MCP tools through Claude's standard tool interface.

Evidence

Removal of mcp-cli infrastructure (removed strings: "mcp-cli info", "mcp-cli call", "ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_MCP_CLI")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
