Unclear No caller of this new message format was found, so it's unclear when or whether it is currently shown to users.
What
A new internal message format called device_mcp_consent has been defined. It describes a consent prompt that would list MCP servers (Model Context Protocol servers, external tools Claude Code can connect to) that were changed or added on a device, with a default answer of "not now" if no response is given.
Why
This appears to be groundwork for a future feature asking you to approve MCP server changes per device; no part of Claude Code currently triggers this prompt.
