[BUG] computer-use MCP server not appearing in /mcp on Max plan (CLI, macOS)
Description
The computer-use built-in MCP server does not appear in the /mcp server list, despite meeting all documented requirements.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.87 (latest)
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0, Apple Silicon)
- Auth method: claude.ai OAuth login
- Subscription: Max plan (
subscriptionType: "max") - Session type: Interactive (not
-pmode)
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
claudeto start an interactive session - Run
/mcpto open the MCP server list - Look for
computer-usein the list
Expected Behavior
Per the computer use documentation, the computer-use built-in MCP server should appear in the /mcp list for Pro/Max users on macOS with v2.1.85+.
Actual Behavior
The computer-use server does not appear at all. Only 9 other MCP servers are listed (exec-utm, figma, claude.ai memory, Notion, Twitter Bridge, utm, context7, github, telegram).
Investigation
After digging into the binary, I found that the feature is gated behind a Statsig feature gate (tengu_malort_pedway), which defaults to enabled: false. The code, including the full ComputerUseSwift library, is present in the binary — it's just not being activated server-side for this account.
Question
Is computer use still in limited rollout? The blog post and documentation suggest it should be available to all Pro/Max users. When can we expect full availability?
