Bug Description

After following all documented steps to enable the computer-use MCP server, it does not appear in /mcp or as an available MCP server.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Followed the official computer-use setup documentation
  2. Verified Max plan is active via /status - all looks good
  3. Restarted Claude Code
  4. Cleared cache (rm -rf ~/.cache/claude-code) and restarted
  5. Verified plan via /status - confirmed Max plan active
  6. Checked changelog for known issues

Computer-use still does not show as an MCP server in /mcp.

Expected Behavior

Computer-use should appear as an available MCP server after completing the setup steps.

Actual Behavior

Computer-use is not listed in /mcp despite all prerequisites being met.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.92
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0, arm64)
  • Plan: Max

Screenshot

The troubleshooting guide was followed completely (restart, clear cache, verify plan, check changelog) with no resolution.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by re-examining the setup steps for enabling the computer-use MCP server, as all troubleshooting steps have been completed without success.

Guidance

  • Review the official computer-use setup documentation again to ensure no step was missed or misinterpreted, paying close attention to any specific requirements for the Max plan.
  • Verify that the computer-use MCP server setup does not require any additional configuration or activation beyond what is documented.
  • Check for any updates to the Claude Code version or documentation that may address this issue, even though the changelog was already reviewed.
  • Consider seeking support from the developers or community of Claude Code, as the issue persists despite following all recommended troubleshooting steps.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the setup process or configuration files involved.

Notes

The provided information suggests that all standard troubleshooting steps have been taken, and the issue remains. Without more specific details about the setup process or error messages, it's challenging to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the standard setup and troubleshooting steps have been followed without success, and without clear indication of a version-specific fix, the best course of action is to seek further assistance or apply any potential workarounds suggested by the Claude Code community or support team.
