[BUG] Tools of a custom MCP server are visible on claude.ai/code but not via Claude Code in mobile app

What's Wrong?
I have a custom MCP server connected, called "woc".
It is accessible on desktop web via claude.ai/code, but appears to be inaccessible / unusable on the Claude Code mobile app.
Compare the two sessions:
1) Desktop web https://claude.ai/code/session_01HFNQev4FAZW5TxQcvejUMo - works fine, lists the tools that the MCP server exposes.
2) Exact same query initiated from Claude Code mobile app (on Android, Pixel 9 Pro) https://claude.ai/code/session_01H8cTx3eX74e8jzMwjQvcGG - shows that no tools from the "woc" MCP server are visible to ToolSearch.
I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the server from my mobile app and it hasn't helped.
This appears to be an issue specific to where the session is initiated - when I pick the second session on claude.ai/code and issue a query from desktop web, it still shows no tools from the MCP server being accessible.
What Should Happen?
Tools from the connected MCP server should be accessible to sessions initiated from Claude Code in the mobile app.
