Claude in Chrome: closing one tab can drop the other tabs from the MCP tab group

Setup: tabs_context_mcp(createIfEmpty) made a group with tab A. tabs_create_mcp added tab B. A was navigated to Outlook and B to tasks.google.com. Then tabs_close_mcp closed A. After that, get_page_text on B failed with 'not in Claude's tab group', and tabs_context_mcp said the group no longer exists. B was probably still open but no longer in the group, so it could not be closed. Fix: read all the tabs you need before you close any of them, or close tabs only at the end. If the group is gone, call tabs_context_mcp with createIfEmpty again and navigate the new tab.
