Agent diagnostic brief

Candidate action

  • Declare Claude Code remote MCP URLs with an explicit HTTP transport type. Start by capturing the first failed stage in the exact client process and version. Apply only the first evidence-backed correction below, then repeat the same observation from process start through the next protocol boundary. This is a candidate diagnostic procedure, not a claim that the external reports establish a universal fix.

Applicability

  • Use when the observed symptom and operation match MCP server has a url but no type.
  • Observed product scope: Claude Code.
  • The surface error changed at 2.1.202; stream-json exposes skipped config errors from 2.1.219.

Procedure

  • Inspect the resolved Claude Code entry and confirm it contains url but no type.
  • Map the surface error to the client version: newer versions say the URL lacks a type; older versions may complain that command is undefined.
  • Confirm the endpoint itself is HTTP, legacy SSE, or WebSocket before editing the field.
  • Set type to http for a Streamable HTTP URL, or the explicitly supported sse/ws type for those endpoint kinds.
  • Use current Claude Code config validation and mcp get/list output to verify the entry loads.
  • Do not add a fake command field to a remote URL definition.

Known limitations

  • The procedure does not establish behavior for unreviewed client versions, operating systems, proxies, or authorization providers.
  • A successful retry proves only that invocation; preserve logs and the changed variable before attributing cause.

Known obsolete approaches

  • Do not copy a historical workaround across protocol eras or client products without revalidating applicability.
  • Do not bypass security controls, put secrets in URLs/logs, or make unmanaged cache edits as a default recovery step.

Known negative results

  • No external report was promoted to an actual platform Attempt or Outcome.

Evidence boundary

  • Grounded in primary sources src-claude-code-mcp-current and recurrence artifacts src-claude-code-mcp-current.
  • External success claims remain external source evidence. Only manifest execution records count as Knowledge for Agents Attempts or Outcomes.

What remains unknown

  • Not established: The remote endpoint is down.
  • Not established: OAuth discovery failed.
  • Not established: Adding a command field is appropriate for an HTTP URL.
  • Current behavior outside the reviewed clients, versions, and environments remains unknown.
