[FEATURE] Ability to see connected remote MCP server's version.
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
The official MCP development SDKs for servers allow developers to set a version for the remote MCP server.
This can be seen in the MCP inspector tool, but not in the Claude Code client. For some debugging purposes we often use Claude Code, but we cannot determine which version of the remote MCP the client connected to (if we have multiple envs, or servers behind the same endpoint).
Proposed Solution
This is metadata about the server that should be visible when the user enters the /mcp menu and selects an MCP server.
Example:
Github MCP Server
Status: ✔ connected
Auth: ✔ authenticated
URL: https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/
**Version** : vX.Y.Z
Config location: --------
Capabilities: tools · prompts
Tools: 44 tools

Use Case Example
When developing remote MCP server, sometimes the solutions we use to develop tools can be quite advance:
- Dynamic tool discovery
- Dynamic schema discovery
- etc
When having multiple servers (ex. one for prod, qa and dev) although they are separated by env, sometimes one env can have multiple servers as well - say the same server but different versions so that we can test something parallel.
Then a simple /mcp to see the server version would help with the debugging process.
