What
Claude Code adds a function that gathers status information about the Claude in Chrome browser extension for telemetry, including:
whether the extension is installed
whether an MCP client (a connector to external tools) for the extension is connected
the name of the paired browser device
whether the extension is enabled by default, controlled by the claudeInChromeDefaultEnabled config setting
Why
This gives Claude Code visibility into how the Claude in Chrome extension is set up and connected, supporting diagnosis and improvement of that integration.
