71Because inference runs in your cloud tenant, Claude Desktop on 3P operates inside whatever compliance boundary your provider and region give you. The desktop application itself contacts Anthropic-operated hosts only to download the VM workspace bundle and Claude CLI binary (always required), and for crash reporting, product analytics, non-essential services (connector favicons, artifact previews, and MCP Apps widgets), and auto-updates. Each of the latter four can be disabled independently via managed configuration.

73With Anthropic-bound telemetry, non-essential services, and updates all disabled, the only remaining Anthropic-operated egress is `downloads.claude.ai` for the VM workspace bundle and Claude CLI binary at session start. An app managed from the [Enterprise Admin Console](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/admin-console) still contacts `api.anthropic.com` at launch and at each configuration re-check, and `claude.ai` at sign-in. If Code sessions can use Web Fetch, also set [`skipWebFetchPreflight`](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/configuration#skipwebfetchpreflight) to `true` (or add `WebFetch` to `disabledBuiltinTools`), because Claude Code in [Code](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/code) sessions otherwise checks each fetched domain with `api.anthropic.com`. Beyond that, the compliance posture of your deployment is determined by your inference provider. See [Telemetry and egress](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry) for the full set of network paths and how to lock them down.
