What's Wrong?

Environment

• macOS: Tahoe 26.2 (Darwin 25.2.0)
• Claude Code version: 2.1.91
• Plan: Pro

bug
request_access returns "not_installed" for Apple Notes regardless of how the app is specified — by display name (Notes, Notizen), or by bundle ID (com.apple.Notes).

However, the same MCP clearly detects Notes as running: when taking a screenshot, the output explicitly lists "Notizen" among the apps that were hidden because they are not in the session allowlist.

This is a contradiction: the MCP knows the app is running and hides it from screenshots, but request_access still reports it as not installed.

What Should Happen?

request_access should recognize com.apple.Notes and show the approval dialog.

**Actual behavior**                                                                                                                                
Returns `not_installed` even though the app is running and visible to the MCP's screenshot filter.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable computer-use MCP via /mcp
2. Call request_access with ["Notes"], ["Notizen"], or ["com.apple.Notes"]
3. All return: {"denied":[{"bundleId":"com.apple.Notes","reason":"not_installed"}]}
4. Call screenshot → output message includes "Notizen" in the list of hidden (running but not allowlisted) apps
