CRITICAL HOTFIX: MCP Tools Loading Restored
We sincerely apologize for releasing v10.0.0 with a critical bug that prevented ALL MCP tools from loading in Claude Desktop. This hotfix resolves the issue immediately.
What Was Broken in v10.0.0
- Impact: Complete tool loading failure in Claude Desktop
- Error:
NameError: name 'false' is not definedinhandle_list_tools() - Cause: JavaScript-style boolean literals (
false/true) used in tool schemas instead of Python booleans (False/True) - Affected Users: ALL Claude Desktop users attempting to use v10.0.0
What's Fixed in v10.0.1
- ✅ All tool schemas now use proper Python boolean literals (
False/True) - ✅ Affected locations corrected:
server_impl.pylines 1446, 1662, 2182, 2380 - ✅ MCP tools now load correctly in Claude Desktop
- ✅ All 12 unified tools are now accessible as intended
- ✅ Commit: 2958aef
Immediate Action Required
If you upgraded to v10.0.0, please upgrade to v10.0.1 immediately:
pip install --upgrade mcp-memory-serviceThen restart Claude Desktop to load the fixed server.
Our Apology
We deeply regret this oversight. The bug was introduced during the major API consolidation work in v10.0.0 and was not caught by our testing due to the specific way Claude Desktop processes MCP tool schemas. We have:
- ✅ Fixed the issue within hours of release
- ✅ Released this hotfix immediately
- ✅ Enhanced our test suite to catch similar issues in future releases
- ✅ Improved our pre-release validation procedures
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to make MCP Memory Service more reliable.
