No way to remove/hide unconnected claudeai-scope MCP connectors

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 8, 2026 by olek-pastukhov Closed Apr 12, 2026

Summary

There is no way to remove or hide the built-in \"Not connected\" connectors (Asana, Atlassian, Box, Canva, HubSpot, Intercom, Krisp, Linear, Microsoft 365, Miro, monday.com, Notion) from the Connectors panel.

Expected behavior

Users should be able to remove or hide connectors they have no intention of using, to keep the list clean and avoid noise.

Actual behavior

  • The Connectors UI (claude.ai desktop app) shows only a Connect button for unconnected integrations — no remove/hide/dismiss option.
  • claude mcp remove "<name>" explicitly blocks removal with: Cannot remove MCP server from scope: claudeai
  • These connectors are fetched server-side and synced into the claudeai scope, which the CLI treats as read-only.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code desktop app → Connectors panel
  2. Click any "Not connected" connector (e.g. Linear)
  3. Observe: only a "Connect" button is shown, no way to remove

OR run:

claude mcp remove "claude.ai Linear"
# Error: Cannot remove MCP server from scope: claudeai

Impact

  • Clutters the Connectors panel with services the user will never use
  • These connectors also appear as deferred tools in every session, adding noise to the system context

Request

  • Add a Remove or Hide option per connector in the UI
  • OR allow claude mcp remove to work for claudeai-scoped servers
