Claude Code has a new consent prompt for cloud sessions that run without a screen and attach to your computer. It asks whether this computer should offer its local MCP servers to that session.\n\n- Allow\n\n- Deny\n\n- Not now\n\nThe prompt asks again if the set of servers being held back changes. If a refusal cannot be saved, the computer offers none of its MCP servers for that attach. The flow is controlled by a remote switch.\n\n**Why**\n\nLetting a cloud session use your local MCP servers exposes them beyond your machine. This asks for your consent first.\n\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
