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.

Steps to reproduce:

Open a Claude Code session with Claude in Chrome enabled Ask Claude to navigate to reporting.xero.com/[any path] Observe "Navigation to this domain is not allowed" error Expected behaviour: Navigation succeeds (as it does for go.xero.com)

Environment:

Claude in Chrome Beta v1.0.68 Windows 11 Chrome (latest)

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.

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
