Bug Description
When I invoke any MCP slash command followed by a prompt, the command isn't recognized.
This works: /zen:chat but this doesn't: /zen:chat foo
The error message I get is Unknown slash command: /zen:chat.
This happens with all of my MCP connections, I have verified the problem does not exist on zen specifically.
Steps to Reproduce
- Add MCP server of choice to claude
- Invoke a slash command with a prompt after
Expected Behavior
The command should run, and the string following that slash command should be interpreted as input to that command.
Actual Behavior
I get the error Unknown slash command: /zen:chat
