The remote switch that controls uploading files from your computer to MCP tools now falls back to on when Anthropic's servers send no value. Before, it fell back to off. MCP servers are outside programs that give Claude extra tools.
Without a server value, uploads now go ahead for servers that qualify:
- claude.ai connectors
- http servers that match the stored remote-host server entry
In readings taken before this release, Anthropic's servers returned this switch on for this site's account and for a signed-out baseline.
Anyone whose Claude Code gets no value from the server now gets file uploads to qualifying MCP tools anyway.
tengu_walnut_tiller On for this account, and not off by defaultThe flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.309. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you
