What's Wrong?

When Claude attempts to navigate to reporting.xero.com via the mcp__Claude_in_Chrome__navigate tool, it returns the error:

Navigation to this domain is not allowed

This occurs even when:

Chrome extension Site Access is set to "On all sites" mcp__Claude_in_Chrome__navigate is explicitly listed in settings.local.json permissions (no domain qualifier) The user has manually navigated to reporting.xero.com in the same browser session Impact: reporting.xero.com is Xero's reporting subdomain, used for Account Transactions, Balance Sheet, and Profit & Loss reports. These are core to accounting workflows. The main Xero app (go.xero.com) works fine — only the reporting subdomain is blocked.

What Should Happen?

Claude in Chrome should be able to navigate to, read, and interact with reporting.xero.com in the same way it can with go.xero.com. The tool should not block subdomains of approved sites unless there is a specific security reason, and if a domain is blocked it should be documented so users know in advance.

Error Messages/Logs

Navigation to this domain is not allowed

This error is returned directly by the mcp__Claude_in_Chrome__navigate tool when attempting to navigate to any URL on reporting.xero.com. No further detail is provided in the error.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Claude Code with Claude in Chrome extension enabled (v1.0.68) In a Claude session, ask Claude to navigate to reporting.xero.com (e.g. "go to the Account Transactions report in Xero") Claude calls mcp__Claude_in_Chrome__navigate with URL reporting.xero.com/[any path] Tool immediately returns: Navigation to this domain is not allowed Note: go.xero.com navigates successfully in the same session. The block appears to be specific to the reporting.xero.com subdomain.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by reverting to the previous version of the Claude in Chrome extension (v1.0.67) where navigation to reporting.xero.com was working correctly.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is indeed specific to version v1.0.68 by testing with the previous version (v1.0.67) to confirm the regression.
  • Check the release notes or changelog for version v1.0.68 to see if there were any changes related to domain permissions or navigation that could be causing this issue.
  • If the issue persists, try manually adding an explicit permission for the reporting.xero.com subdomain in the settings.local.json file, even though it's already listed without a domain qualifier.
  • Test navigation to other subdomains of approved sites to see if the issue is specific to reporting.xero.com or if it's a broader problem with subdomain handling.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration or versioning rather than a specific code error.

Notes

The solution is based on the information provided that the issue is a regression introduced in version v1.0.68. Without access to the codebase or more detailed error logs, it's challenging to provide a more specific fix. The guidance is aimed at helping the user isolate the issue and potentially find a workaround by reverting to a known working version.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Revert to version v1.0.67 of the Claude in Chrome extension, as it is known to work correctly with reporting.xero.com, until a fix for the regression in v1.0.68 is available.
