286286| Search provider host of a built-in `websearch` server (`api.search.brave.com`, `api.tavily.com`, `api.exa.ai`, or the host of your `customUrl`) | [Built-in web search](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/web-tools#built-in-web-search) is configured |
287287| Hosts in `coworkEgressAllowedHosts` | Sandbox web access is configured |
288288| `api.anthropic.com` | [Code](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/code) sessions can use Web Fetch and [`skipWebFetchPreflight`](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#skipwebfetchpreflight) is not `true` (Claude Code's Web Fetch [domain check](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/web-tools#web-fetch)) |
289| `hcaptcha.com`, `*.hcaptcha.com` | Users sign in with **Sign in with Claude Console** (the [Claude API](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/claude-api) with no static key or credential helper). Its sign-in and approval pages open in the user's default browser and run a browser check from these hosts. Allow them even when the in-app Egress list doesn't show them. If they're blocked, signing in or approving can fail with a message that the browser couldn't be verified |

290290| `claude.ai`, `hcaptcha.com`, `*.hcaptcha.com`, `api.anthropic.com`, `storage.googleapis.com` | [Import from claude.ai](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/import) is enabled (`claudeAiImport` with `enabled` set to `true`). Used only while a user signs in to claude.ai and fetches an export in the import wizard; importing a downloaded export file needs none of them. The two `hcaptcha.com` entries serve the browser check on the claude.ai sign-in and approval pages |
291291| `releases.claude.com` | The [built-in browser](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/browser) is turned on (`builtinBrowserEnabled` set to `true`), for its [site safety check](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/browser#site-safety-check) |
292292| `downloads.claude.ai` | [SSH remote sessions](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/ssh-remote-sessions) are enabled (`sshHostAllowlist` set). With the offline installer, needed only for connections to hosts other than Linux x64 and arm64, because that installer bundles the remote components for those hosts (see [Host requirements](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/ssh-remote-sessions#host-requirements)) |

309309These optional features add hosts back when you turn them on:

311311* [SSH remote sessions](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/ssh-remote-sessions) download the remote-session components from `downloads.claude.ai`. The offline installer bundles those components for Linux x64 and arm64 hosts, so devices installed with it download them only when connecting to hosts on other platforms.
312* **Sign in with Claude Console** (the [Claude API](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/claude-api) with no static key or credential helper) loads a browser check from `hcaptcha.com` and `*.hcaptcha.com` on its sign-in and approval pages.
312* **Sign in with Claude Console** (the [Claude API](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/claude-api) with no static key or credential helper) loads a browser check from `hcaptcha.com` and `*.hcaptcha.com` on the Claude Console sign-in and approval pages.
313313* [Import from claude.ai](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/import) reaches `claude.ai`, `api.anthropic.com`, and `storage.googleapis.com` (for the export download) only while a user signs in to claude.ai and fetches an export in the import wizard. The claude.ai sign-in and approval pages also load a browser check from `hcaptcha.com` and `*.hcaptcha.com`.
314314* The [built-in browser](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/browser) contacts `releases.claude.com` for its [site safety check](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/browser#site-safety-check).
315315* With the [remote Microsoft 365 connector](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/connectors-m365#remote-connector), the app connects to the connector service that Anthropic hosts, at the host in the entry's `url` (`microsoft365.mcp.claude.com` in the setup steps).
