403End users cannot add remote MCP servers or install desktop extension files (`.mcpb`) themselves. Remote servers are available only via admin-provisioned `managedMcpServers` or organization plugins. User-added extensions are stored in the user's [local data directory](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/data-storage) and apply only to that device.
403End users cannot add remote MCP servers from the app's settings or install desktop extension files (`.mcpb`) themselves. Remote servers come from admin-provisioned `managedMcpServers`, from organization plugins, and from other plugins that bundle them, including plugins users install. A Code session can also load the servers a user defines in Claude Code's own configuration (`~/.claude.json`, a project's `.mcp.json`, or `claude mcp add`). To limit plugin-bundled servers, see [Controlling user extensions](#controlling-user-extensions). To limit the servers a Code session loads, see [Applied as managed policy](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/code#applied-as-managed-policy).
