Unclear It is not clear whether remote sessions now actually get the artifacts MCP entry, or whether the remaining checks still exclude them.
What
Claude Code has a step that picks a local entry for an artifacts MCP server (MCP servers are outside programs that give Claude extra tools). Before, this step gave up straight away when the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE or CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID was set, meaning the session was running remotely. That early exit has been removed. The step's other checks remain.
Why
Remote sessions are no longer ruled out by that one test, so they may now reach the artifacts MCP setup.
