/mcp dialog doesn't show all configured MCP servers
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 3, 2026 by JuanJMendoza Closed Apr 6, 2026
Description
The /mcp UI dialog only shows claude.ai managed servers and built-in MCPs (plugins). User-scoped MCP servers added via claude mcp add don't appear in the dialog, even though claude mcp list shows them as connected.
Steps to reproduce
- Add a user-scoped MCP server:
claude mcp add paper --transport http http://127.0.0.1:29979/mcp --scope user - Verify it's connected:
claude mcp list→ showspaper: ✓ Connected - Run
/mcpin a Claude Code session - Paper (and other user-scoped servers) are missing from the dialog
Expected behavior
All configured MCP servers should appear in the /mcp dialog, regardless of scope.
Actual behavior
Only claude.ai managed servers and built-in MCPs appear. In my case, 4 user-scoped servers (paper, shadcn-ui, 21st-dev-magic, gemini) are all missing from the UI despite being registered and connected.
Environment
- Claude Code 2.1.91 (native install)
- macOS Darwin 24.6.0
