Description
After updating Claude Code, I lost access to the Claude.ai MCP connectors feature. The feature flag tengu_claudeai_mcp_connectors is set to false in cachedGrowthBookFeatures, and the mcpServers config is empty.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.38
- Install method: native
- Platform: Linux (Ubuntu, 6.11.0-29-generic)
- Auto-updates: disabled
- Subscription: Max plan
- Note: Running on a remote server (SSH), not the machine where Claude Code Desktop is installed
Debug Output
2026-02-10T06:15:46.629Z [DEBUG] [claudeai-mcp] Checking gate (cached)...
2026-02-10T06:15:46.629Z [DEBUG] [claudeai-mcp] Gate returned: false
2026-02-10T06:15:46.629Z [DEBUG] [claudeai-mcp] Disabled via gate
Steps to Reproduce
- Previously had access to Claude.ai MCP connectors
- Updated Claude Code to 2.1.38
- Claude.ai MCP connectors no longer available
- Debug logs confirm the feature is gated off server-side
Observed Behavior
tengu_claudeai_mcp_connectorsisfalseincachedGrowthBookFeaturesmcpServersat global level is empty{}- All project-level
mcpServersare also empty - Feature is explicitly disabled via gate check
Expected Behavior
Claude.ai MCP connectors should remain accessible after updates, especially I previously had access.
