Allow hiding/removing unused cloud connectors (Gmail, Google Calendar, etc.)
Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Feb 27, 2026 by tarekbadrsh Closed Jun 9, 2026
Description
Cloud connectors (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive) appear as MCP servers in Claude Code even when they are not connected and not needed. They show up with "Needs authentication" status and there is no way to hide or remove them.
Example:
claude.ai Gmail: https://gmail.mcp.claude.com/mcp - ! Needs authentication
claude.ai Google Calendar: https://gcal.mcp.claude.com/mcp - ! Needs authentication
Problem
- These are built-in platform connectors that cannot be removed via CLI (
claude mcp remove) or local settings - Users who don't use these services have no way to declutter their MCP server list
- They add noise to the tool/MCP server listing
Requested Feature
Provide an option to hide or disable unused cloud connectors, either:
- Via
claude mcp removeCLI command - Via a setting in
settings.json(e.g.,blockedMcpServersor similar) - Via the claude.ai Connectors UI (a "Hide" or "Remove" option for unconnected connectors)
Environment
- Claude Code CLI
- macOS
