Your Question

I am new to MCP and I developed an MCP server. The server is working ok verified by two different AI systems but it appears it is not reporting any tools and saying the connect is lost even though the Claude logs show all of the information. Claude chat also can use the tools effectively. Can someone try this and see if it looks OK from a server point of view. Thank you.

Connection drops sound operational, but for agent workflows they can quietly become safety issues too, because the agent may keep reasoning as if the tool state is still live when it is not.\n\nOnce a client loses the connection, the next risk is not just failure to continue; it is confusion about whether the last action succeeded, whether partial output was trustworthy, and whether retrying is safe. That can cascade into duplicate actions or compensating behavior based on an incorrect model of the world.\n\nSo I would be very interested in reconnect semantics that preserve more than transport state: was the last action acknowledged, what output is authoritative, and what uncertainty should force the client to pause rather than continue confidently?
