Fallback Configuration
When MCP tools are unavailable:
- Check if fallback is configured
- Use fallback provider
- Log degraded capability
- Continue with reduced functionality
MCP Resolution Process
- Check availability - Is the MCP server running?
- Verify configuration - Are credentials valid?
- Test connectivity - Can we reach the service?
- Apply fallback - Use alternative if unavailable
Configuration Location
MCP servers configured in ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"server-name": {
"command": "...",
"args": ["..."]
}
}
}
Troubleshooting
- Server not found: Check settings.json mcpServers
- Connection failed: Verify server is running
- Auth error: Check credentials/tokens
- Timeout: Increase timeout or check network
