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: 2.1.92 (standalone install via
~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.92) - OS: macOS Tahoe (Darwin 25.4.0)
- Plan: Claude Max
- Auth: claude.ai (first-party, not Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry)
- Session: Interactive (not
-pflag)
Steps to reproduce
- Launch Claude Code in a terminal (
claude) - Run
/mcp - Look for
computer-usein the server list
Expected behavior
computer-use should appear as a built-in MCP server (enabled or disabled) in the /mcp list.
Actual behavior
computer-use does not appear at all. Only User MCPs (claude-peers, paper, pencil), Local/Project MCPs, and claude.ai integrations (Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion) are listed. No "Built-in" section exists.
Computer use is enabled in the Desktop app and works there. The CLI does not surface the server.
Related issues
- #43307 — same symptom (computer-use missing from /mcp), reported on v2.1.91
- #43547 — native module path hardcoded to CI build machine, making computer-use non-functional in npm CLI distribution
- #41538 —
checkAccessibilityundefined on macOS Tahoe even when server does appear
This may be the same root cause as #43547 (missing native module in the distribution), but filing separately since the install method differs (standalone vs npm).
