claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Add setting to auto-approve computer-use request_access prompt [1 participants]

TL;DR

Add a configuration option to pre-grant access to specified applications, removing the need for interactive confirmation in non-interactive environments.

Guidance

• Consider adding a skipComputerUseApproval flag in settings.json or a CLI flag like --approve-computer-use to bypass the request_access prompt.
• Evaluate the proposed computerUse configuration example to determine if it meets the requirements for pre-granting access to specific applications.
• Investigate the feasibility of implementing a whitelist of allowed applications to ensure security while enabling automation in headless mode.
• Assess the trade-offs of using Playwright MCP for web tasks versus implementing a solution for native app automation using computer-use MCP.

Example

{
  "computerUse": {
    "autoApprove": true,
    "allowedApps": ["Google Chrome", "Safari", "Finder"]
  }
}

This example configuration suggests a possible implementation for pre-granting access to specific applications.

Notes

The proposed solution requires careful consideration of security implications to avoid unintended access to sensitive applications or data. The --dangerously-skip-permissions flag already bypasses standard tool permissions, so adding another flag or configuration option must be done with caution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing the proposed computerUse configuration or a similar solution to pre-grant access to specified applications, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned in the issue. This approach allows for automation in headless mode while minimizing security risks.
