Bug Description
⏰ [20:12:17] received
Bug report text — /bug:
- Tool affected:
mcp__visualize__show_widgetand its companionread_me(the inline widget-rendering MCP tool in Claude Code) - Symptom: every call returns
Tool call failed: 404, no other error detail - Frequency: 15+ consecutive attempts over roughly 2 hours, same conversation
- Tried, none fixed it:
/mcp reconnect, a full quit-and-relaunch, reloading the tool schema via ToolSearch - Still working fine: the Artifact publishing tool — full HTML/CSS renders correctly every time in the side panel, so this looks isolated to the inline pathway specifically
- Anthropic status page: showed "All Systems Operational" during this outage — this tool isn't a listed component there
- Environment: Claude Code on macOS (M5 Pro), rooted at
/Users/admin/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx - Timing: first observed ~17:41 IST 2026-08-29, still failing as of 20:12 IST same day
Input alignment 93%.
CRUX — Key Takeaways: text above is ready to paste as-is into /bug. Next Steps: run /bug, paste this, submit.
Footnotes: MCP = Model Context Protocol.
