Summary

Fixes a bug where disconnected MCP servers were listed twice in /mcp list (once as 'Disconnected' and once as 'Blocked') due to a strict string equality check that failed when extension server names had different casing or trailing whitespace compared to user configuration. Updated the filter in McpStatus.tsx to use .trim().toLowerCase().

Details

The logic in McpStatus.tsx that removes blocked servers from the main list relies on a strict string equality check (blockedServer.name === serverName). If an extension registers a server with a slight casing difference or trailing whitespace compared to its name in the blocked configuration, the filter fails to remove it from the main list. Because it isn't "Connected" or "Connecting", it defaults to "Disconnected" in the main UI rendering block before being rendered again by the Blocked list logic.

How to Validate

  1. Run npm run test -w @google/gemini-cli -- src/ui/components/views/McpStatus.test.tsx
  2. Alternatively, configure a blocked MCP server with trailing spaces or different cases in the extension vs user config, and run /mcp list. The server should only appear once under "Blocked".

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a UI bug where MCP servers were being duplicated in the list view. By normalizing server names using trim and lowercase operations during the filtering process, the application now correctly identifies and hides blocked servers even when there are minor formatting differences between the configuration and the server registration.

Highlights

  • Logic Update: Updated the MCP server filtering logic to perform case-insensitive comparisons and ignore leading/trailing whitespace.
  • Bug Fix: Resolved an issue where blocked MCP servers were incorrectly appearing in the main server list due to strict string equality checks.
  • Testing: Added a new test case to verify that blocked servers are correctly filtered regardless of casing or whitespace discrepancies.

Code Review

This pull request updates the McpStatus component to ensure that blocked MCP servers are filtered using case-insensitive comparison and by ignoring leading or trailing whitespace. A corresponding test case has been added to verify this behavior, along with updated snapshots. I have no feedback to provide.
