Feature Request: Cleaner MCP Tool Display Format

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 5, 2026 by Kaiwo-dev Closed Feb 18, 2026

Problem

Currently, MCP tool calls in Claude Code are displayed via verbose bash commands:

mcp-cli call serena/list_memories '{}'

This creates visual noise and is harder to scan quickly during conversations.

Proposed Solution

Add a native, compact display format for MCP tool calls:

serena - list_memories (MCP)()

Or similar to how other AI coding tools display it:

serena - list_memories (MCP)(param: "value")

Benefits

  • Cleaner UI/UX
  • Faster to read and scan
  • Less visual noise in conversation
  • Consistent with other AI coding tools

Additional Context

When working with MCP servers frequently (Serena, Context7, etc.), the verbose bash command format significantly increases cognitive load compared to a compact native display.
