gateway.update_server
Update an MCP server package and reconnect it
How to use it
Project documentation lists gateway.update_server for the Pmcp MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
