What's Wrong?

Given an MCP server with a Resource with uri "org://docs":

If the MCP server is installed via Plugin, referencing "@plugin:myplugin:mymcp:org://docs" in a prompt doesnt automatically load the resource into the context window, requiring Claude to (sometimes unreliably) read the resource via readMcpResource manually.

When the same MCP server is installed via .mcp.json, referencing the resource via "@mymcp:org://docs" works just fine.

What Should Happen?

It's expected that plugin-installed MCP servers are able to be referenced the same as MCP servers installed via .mcp.json.
