Feature request: pre-approve apps for computer-use MCP in remote/unattended sessions
Currently, request_access requires interactive approval every session — there's no way to pre-grant access to specific apps via config. This blocks computer-use in remote/unattended workflows (e.g., scheduled tasks, remote control).
Request: Add a settings option (e.g., in settings.json or .mcp.json) to pre-approve a list of apps for computer-use, so sessions can start without manual dialog interaction.
Use case: Running Claude Code remotely (e.g., via /remote-control or scheduled agents) where the user isn't at the keyboard to click "Allow" on the native approval dialog.
Suggested approach: A config like:
{
"computerUse": {
"preApprovedApps": ["Finder", "Notes", "Maps"]
}
}
This would skip the request_access dialog for listed apps while preserving the security gate for unlisted ones.
