2828* **Local execution.** The server runs on the user's device, and its network calls go directly to the data provider (Microsoft, your search provider, or GitHub). No Anthropic host is in the data path.
2929* **Sign-in on the device.** Where the server needs user credentials (Microsoft 365 and GitHub), the user signs in from the app, and tokens are stored encrypted on the device. **Disconnect** in connector settings signs the user out. The web search server has no user sign-in; you supply the search key in the entry.
3030* **Tool approvals.** Each entry accepts the same per-tool [`toolPolicy`](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#managedmcpservers) as any managed server. Without a policy, built-in write tools ask the user before each call, and a small set of irreversible actions (sending mail or merging a pull request, for example) stays at ask or stricter no matter what the policy says.
31* **Versioned with the app.** Each built-in server requires a Claude Desktop version that includes it. On older versions, the server is missing from the **Add server** menu, **Test connection** reports that it is not included, and a deployed entry is dropped. The fix is to upgrade Claude Desktop.
