Code in Claude Desktop on 3P changedthird-party/claude-desktop/code
Nearest release: v2.1.282, published 6 hours before upstream edited the page. Shown because the two are within 24 hours of each other. Nothing here says the release caused the edit.
Upstream edited this page at 24 Sep 2026 22:10 UTC, give or take a minute or two: the time comes from Anthropic’s own sitemap rather than from a commit. This site recorded the change at 24 Sep 2026 22:37 UTC.

1515These keys are passed directly to the Claude Code process as environment variables or launch options. They take effect on every Code session and cannot be overridden by user-level Claude Code settings or by a separately deployed `managed-settings.json`.

17| Claude Desktop on 3P key | Effect in Code sessions |
18| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
19| `inferenceProvider` and all provider credential keys (`inferenceGateway*`, `inferenceAnthropicApiKey`, `inferenceVertex*`, `inferenceBedrock*`, `inferenceFoundry*`, `inferenceCredentialHelper*`) | Selects the inference backend and supplies credentials. Code sessions use the same provider, endpoint, and credentials as Cowork sessions. |
20| `inferenceModels` | Populates the model picker. The first entry is the default for new Code sessions. |
21| `autoModeEnabled` | Offers **Auto mode** in the Code session's permission selector. A separately deployed Claude Code managed-settings file that sets `disableAutoMode` to `"disable"` overrides this and keeps Auto mode hidden; see below. |
22| `disabledBuiltinTools` | Removes the listed tools from Code sessions. Tools your provider does not support, such as WebSearch on Amazon Bedrock, are removed automatically in addition to your list. |
23| `builtinToolPolicy` | Tools set to `"ask"` require approval on each call in Code sessions, enforced via a PreToolUse hook and Claude Code `permissions.ask` rules. |
24| `disableBypassPermissionsMode` | Removes bypass permissions mode. The app stops offering the mode and starts a session that requests it in a stricter permission mode instead, independent of Claude Code managed-settings precedence. The key requires Claude Desktop 1.46388.1 or later. A separately deployed Claude Code managed-settings file that sets `permissions.disableBypassPermissionsMode` to `"disable"` removes the mode as well. |
25| `skipWebFetchPreflight` | Turns off Claude Code's Web Fetch [domain check](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/web-tools#web-fetch) against `api.anthropic.com`. A separately deployed Claude Code managed-settings file that sets `skipWebFetchPreflight` takes precedence. |
26| `managedMcpServers` | Makes the same managed MCP servers available in Code sessions. The app handles the connection and authentication; the Code session sees only the resulting tool list. |
27| `mcpToolTimeoutSec` | Applies your per-call MCP tool timeout to Code sessions as well, taking precedence over a user-set `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT`. |
28| `organizationInstructions` | Appended to the Code session's system prompt after Claude Code's own. `CLAUDE.md` instructions still apply. |
29| `otlpEndpoint`, `otlpProtocol`, `otlpHeaders`, `otlpResourceAttributes` | Routes Claude Code's OpenTelemetry metrics and logs to your collector. See [Telemetry](/docs/third-party/claude-desktop/telemetry). |
30| `disableEssentialTelemetry`, `disableNonessentialTelemetry` | Disables Claude Code's crash reporting and usage telemetry to Anthropic, mirroring Cowork. |
31| `disableAutoUpdates` | The embedded Claude Code engine never self-updates regardless of this key; its version is managed by the app's own updater. |
32| `inferenceMaxTokensPerWindow`, `inferenceTokenWindowHours` | The token budget is shared across Cowork and Code sessions and enforced before each turn. |

20| `inferenceModels` | Populates the model picker. The first entry is the default for new Code sessions. |
21| `autoModeEnabled` | Controls **Auto mode**. When the key is not set, Code sessions offer Auto mode and new sessions start in it unless the user has already chosen another mode or a Claude Code `permissions.defaultMode` applies. Set it to `false` to remove Auto mode from Code and Cowork. Set it to `true` to also offer **Automatically approve** in Cowork. A separately deployed Claude Code managed-settings file that sets `disableAutoMode` to `"disable"` overrides this key and keeps Auto mode hidden; see below. |
22| `disabledBuiltinTools` | Removes the listed tools from Code sessions. Tools your provider does not support, such as WebSearch on Amazon Bedrock, are removed automatically in addition to your list. |
