What's Wrong?

claude mcp list shows plugin-contributed MCP servers with a namespaced format (plugin:<marketplace>:<name>), but claude mcp get cannot retrieve them — even when passing the exact name shown by mcp list.

What Should Happen?

claude mcp get plugin:portal-plugin:portal should return the server config, since that name is reported by mcp list as a configured server.

Error Messages/Logs

$ claude mcp get portal
No MCP server found with name: "portal". Configured servers: ..., plugin:portal-plugin:portal, ...

$ claude mcp get plugin:portal-plugin:portal
No MCP server found with name: "plugin:portal-plugin:portal". Configured servers: ..., plugin:portal-plugin:portal, ...

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install a plugin that registers an MCP server (e.g. portal-plugin)
  2. Run claude mcp list — the server appears as plugin:portal-plugin:portal
  3. Run claude mcp get portal → fails
  4. Run claude mcp get plugin:portal-plugin:portal → also fails, despite being the exact string from step 2
