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