MCP Configuration
/mcp — check MCP server status
Shows every MCP server configured for the current session and whether each one is connected, still starting, or failed.
Before debugging a missing tool, /mcp is the first stop — it lists every configured server and its current status, rather than you guessing from tool availability alone.
A server that shows as failed here is the confirmation you need before digging into its specific config; one that's still starting just needs a moment, especially for servers that spin up a local process on first use.
The equivalent from outside a session is claude mcp list, useful for checking configuration without starting a full session first.
