Just run Claude Desktop. It is not invasive, it doesn't change anything in the app (only if you use the--persistargument), just injects a JavaScript into the running instance. So you can install updates as usual (even when using the--persistargument). It uses a feature of most Electron based apps:remote debugging port.
If you want to list all tools that are auto-approved, you can use the following prompt in Claude Desktop:
If you want to list all tools that are auto-blocked, you can use the following prompt in Claude Desktop:
The remote debugging port allows any application on your localhost (your machine) to connect to the running Claude Desktop App. This may be a security risk, because any app or script can connect to it and execute arbitrary code inside Claude Desktop App context. This may be used for malicious purposes. It is a low risk, if you know what is running on your computer.
So be careful when using this feature and use it at your own risk.

Adds auto-approve functionality for MCP requests to the Claude Desktop application.
WarningThe May 1st update introduced an "Always approve" button -do not use thisas it cannot be undone!claude-autoapprove-mcprestores the safer "Allow for this chat" functionality:
- Configure permanent approvals in config
- Make per-chat decisions for other tools
- Change decisions in newer chats This provides granular control while maintaining security.
If you by mistake used the "Always approve" button, as a workaround you can rename the mcp in theclaude_desktop_config.jsonfile to something else. Example:git->git_new. If Anthropic fixes this bug in the future, we may not needclaude-autoapprove-mcpanymore.
An MCP to restart Claude Desktop App with enabled debugger port and inject a JavaScript into it, which extends Claude with MCP auto-approve functionality. It uses theclaude-autoapprovelibrary under the hood.
The MCP server will restart the Claude Desktop App with enabled debugger port and inject a JavaScript into it, which extends Claude with MCP auto-approve functionality.
Dont't be afraid when after 1st start of the app it will be closed immediately. This is expected behavior.
