From 9e376afabe7dbed29fb9ff33ce2f8eee283faabd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eyal Mizrachi <145741922+Eyalm321@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:25:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix(mcp): mcp status checks ~/.claude.json, not only ~/.claude/mcp.json (#990) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Description `headroom mcp status` only inspected `~/.claude/mcp.json`, but servers registered via `claude mcp add` (user scope) live in `~/.claude.json`. So `status` printed `✗ No config file` even when headroom was registered and `claude mcp list` reported it Connected. This detects the registration across every location Claude Code uses. ## Type of Change - [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue) ## Changes Made - Add `find_headroom_registration()` that checks `~/.claude.json`, `~/.claude/mcp.json`, then `./.mcp.json` (first match wins). - Use it in `mcp status` for both the "Configured" check and the proxy-URL lookup. ## Testing - [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`) - [x] New tests added for new functionality - [x] Manual testing performed ### Test Output ```text $ pytest tests/test_cli/test_mcp_status.py -q 5 passed in 0.13s ``` ## Real Behavior Proof - Environment: Linux, Python 3.13, editable build of this branch - Exact command / steps: registered headroom in ~/.claude.json, then ran `headroom mcp status` - Observed result: prints `✓ Configured` with the ~/.claude.json path (previously `✗ No config file`) - Not tested: project-scoped ./.mcp.json discovery in a real multi-repo workflow ## Review Readiness - [x] I have performed a self-review - [x] This PR is ready for human review --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) Co-authored-by: JerrettDavis --- headroom/cli/mcp.py | 27 ++++++++++ tests/test_cli/test_mcp_status.py | 89 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 116 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/test_cli/test_mcp_status.py diff --git a/headroom/cli/mcp.py b/headroom/cli/mcp.py index a9ea4228e..7563822bb 100644 --- a/headroom/cli/mcp.py +++ b/headroom/cli/mcp.py @@ -16,6 +16,9 @@ from .main import main # Default paths CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR = Path.home() / ".claude" MCP_CONFIG_PATH = CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR / "mcp.json" +# Servers registered via `claude mcp add` (user scope) live in ~/.claude.json, +# NOT in ~/.claude/mcp.json.
