What's Wrong?

When running /mcp in Claude Code, the built-in Google integrations (Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive) are listed alongside actually connected MCP servers. There's no indication that these integrations haven't been authorized — they appear the same as any connected server.

This is misleading because:

  • I never connected these integrations, and on claude.ai they correctly don't show as "connected", but have a "Connect" button.
  • In Claude Code, /mcp presents them as if they're "connected" and ready to use.
  • Only when you actually try to call one of these tools do you get a "requires re-authorization (token expired)" error.

What Should Happen?

/mcp should either hide unconnected integrations, or clearly mark them as "not connected" / "requires authorization" so users can distinguish them from servers that are actually working.

For me it's the opposite, it shows MCP servers as connected, although I've never autorized them.

Workaround from https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/73682#issue-4799514236 worked for me

"disableClaudeAiConnectors": true
in ~/.claude/settings.json suppresses them.
