Restarting your http MCP server? ✔️Codex CLI reconnects (JIT connect, I think) ✔️ Claude Code started reconnecting "recently" ❌ Claude Desktop via mcp-remote does not reconnect Other findings/corrections? Is there a cross-agent feature matrix somewhere?

Good news! @vaadin.com Docs #MCP now better supports whichever version you're on. For example it knows about the Aura theme in v25, but knows to avoid it if you're on v24 etc – and also supports v7-v14 if you have that need. mcp.vaadin.com/docs/

Sometimes (often) #ChatGPT UX is quite confusing. It does not say why Research is not available, and "plain" 4o can't read a file AND reference the web? Sigh. I need a flow diagram to figure out what model and mode combination works with which features.

Running a Deep Research analysis with Gemini in one window, while summarizing a long report with ChatGPT in another does make me feel a bit like an "agent boss". I might need more screens, though – is someone working on a control room for agents?

The @github.com Copilot "chat" is apparently only allowed to create novel code, and it makes it almost unusable. "Sorry, the response matched public code so it was blocked. Please rephrase your prompt. Learn more."

Hear me out: Let's have "Vibe coding", but for Java apps that mean business! Here's me going from zero to full-stack @vaadin.com #Java #SpringBoot #Security #JPA using a prototype Copilot running in @intellijidea.com Thoughts on the concept? Should we do Copilot, MCP, or both? youtu.be/rBX_ZPvPfN0

Can anyone fill me in a little bit on how LLMs handle different languages? I mean am I better off doing prompts in English even though the material, context, or response will be in say Swedish? How about vector lookups? How about Finnish that is in some cases fundamentally different?
