- Session type: Interactive (not
-pflag)
Steps to Reproduce
- Open an interactive Claude Code session
- Run

Expected Behavior
Per the documentation, computer-use should appear as a built-in MCP server that can be enabled in /mcp.

- The
/statusscreen shows an auto-created Organization from Apple Sign In (@privaterelay.appleid.com), which may or may not be relevant - No manual MCP configuration exists for
