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
