What's Wrong?

When I run Claude Code on iOS connected to a repo with a .mcp.json that contains this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepwiki": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude stops and there is no way to approve the request. When I view the same chat on the MacOS app, I can approve it there.

This hangs indefinitely.

What Should Happen?

I get prompted for approval, or able to run full auto.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages, see screenshot.

Steps to Reproduce

Add .mcp.json that contains this in (private) repo:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deepwiki": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.deepwiki.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Launch a Claude Code session on iOS pointing to this repo. Ask it to use the MCP server.
