Claude Code is gaining a prompt that offers the MCP servers on your machine to cloud sessions, which are sessions that run on a remote computer rather than yours.\n\n- **Remembered 'not now'.** If you choose not now the first time you are asked, the choice is saved per machine name (hostname) and can be cleared. The same set of servers is not asked about again the next time a cloud session connects, and the skipped prompt is noted as suppressed.\n\n- **Policy notice.** A new cloud session notice, `device-mcp-policy`, explains that the offer is blocked when a settings deny list (`deniedMcpServers`) includes `remote-devices`, so none of the machine's MCP servers are offered.\n\n- **Organization config gate.** Besides its existing trial-mode record, the organization config gate now records a separate event. The trial-mode record also gains policy and settings details and what triggered it.\n\nThe prompt is tied to `tengu_device_mcp_host_consent`, and the organization config gate to `tengu_org_config_gate`. Nothing has been read about either setting.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you turn down sharing your local MCP servers, you are not asked again every time a cloud session connects. Where an organization blocks remote devices in `deniedMcpServers`, you see why no servers were offered.\n\n- Area: Cloud Sessions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: both\n- Heads-up: no"}
