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

Medium - Would be very helpful

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

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.
