31Product-usage analytics: feature adoption, session counts, UI interactions. Used to understand how Claude Desktop is used in aggregate. Contains no prompt or response content. Also gates the **Send to Anthropic** button in **Help → Troubleshooting → Generate Diagnostic Report**; with this disabled, diagnostic bundles can only be saved locally.

300300| Crash, error, and performance reporting | Diagnostic metadata, never prompt or response content. See [Essential telemetry](#essential-telemetry). | [`disableEssentialTelemetry`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#disableessentialtelemetry) set to `true` |

302302| Connector favicons, artifact previews, and MCP App widgets | Icon fetches, and the sandboxed iframe pages that render previews and widgets. Some of these requests go to third-party hosts rather than to Anthropic, such as the icon fetches to `www.google.com` and `*.gstatic.com`. See [Non-essential services](#non-essential-services) and, for each host, [Required egress paths](#required-egress-paths). | [`disableNonessentialServices`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#disablenonessentialservices) set to `true` |
303303| Auto-updates | Requests to Anthropic's update feed, and downloads of new builds. On Linux, `apt` downloads new versions from `downloads.claude.ai`. See [Auto-updates](#auto-updates). | [`disableAutoUpdates`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#disableautoupdates) set to `true`. On Linux, also keep Anthropic's apt repository off the device, as described under [Auto-updates](#auto-updates). |
304304| Model catalog | The signed model catalog that labels the model picker, fetched from `downloads.claude.ai` at launch and then every 5 to 15 minutes, including on devices installed with the offline installer. A blocked catalog request affects nothing else. | [`modelCatalogEnabled`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#modelcatalogenabled) set to `false`, or [`modelCatalogUrl`](https://claude.com/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#modelcatalogurl) set to a mirror inside your network |
