[BUG] VSCode Extension: Responses Not Rendering Due to MCP Server Error -32601
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Nov 19, 2025 by gharshaw Closed Nov 28, 2025

- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)

What's Wrong?
The Claude Code VSCode extension (v2.0.46) successfully authenticates and sends requests, but responses are not displayed in the UI. The extension gets stuck on the "thinking" animation (showing words like "Scheming", "Crunching", etc.) but never renders Claude's response.
What Should Happen?
Expected Behavior
- User message appears
- "Thinking" animation shows briefly
- Claude's response is rendered in the chat UI
