148148### Allow Claude in Chrome alongside the managed set
149149
150By default, when you deploy `managed-mcp.json`, Claude Code blocks the built-in [Claude in Chrome](/docs/en/chrome) server in terminal sessions. Users don't get the [extension install prompt](/docs/en/chrome#install-the-extension-when-claude-asks), and a session where the user [enabled Chrome by default](/docs/en/chrome#enable-chrome-by-default) starts without Chrome and prints no warning. When a user who could otherwise run Claude in Chrome starts it with `claude --chrome` or `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_CFC=1`, Claude Code exits at startup with an error that names the `allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp` setting.

Users don't get the [extension install prompt](/docs/en/chrome#install-the-extension-when-claude-asks), and a session where the user [turned on Chrome by default](/docs/en/chrome#enable-chrome-by-default) starts without it and prints no warning. If a user who could otherwise run Claude in Chrome starts `claude --chrome`, Claude Code exits at startup with an error that names the `allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp` setting.

152To let users run Claude in Chrome alongside the servers in `managed-mcp.json`, set `"allowClaudeInChromeWithManagedMcp": true` in the device's own managed settings. Put it in an MDM-deployed plist or HKLM registry key, or a system `managed-settings.json` file, whichever of those Claude Code [selects](/docs/en/managed-settings#precedence-within-the-managed-tier) on that device. Requires Claude Code v2.1.282 or later. Before v2.1.282, Claude Code ignores the setting, and the startup error reads `You cannot dynamically configure MCP servers when an enterprise MCP config is present` instead.

154Claude Code reads the setting from those device sources even when [server-managed settings](/docs/en/server-managed-settings) deliver the rest of your policy. It ignores the setting in server-managed settings themselves, in the user-writable HKCU registry, and in user or project settings. A [`deniedMcpServers`](#policy-based-control-with-allowlists-and-denylists) entry for `claude-in-chrome` still blocks the server with the setting on.
