  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Computer Use related python background services are using more than 30GB of RAM. Actually one is using 30GB and other is using 20GB, see attached screenshot.

They are both python3 processes launched by uv with path:

/Users/yg/Library/Application Support/Claude/Claude Extensions/ant.dir.gh.cursortouch.macos-mcp/.venv/bin/python3

Version: Claude 1.7196.0 (2dbd78) 2026-05-12T05:34:40.000Z Hardware: Apple MacBook Pro M2 Max 32GB RAM

What Should Happen?

MCP Processes shouldn't consume that much memory, specially ones native from Anthropic and that expose a real useful feature on Claude Code Desktop app
