Claude Autoapprove Mcp
claude-autoapprove-mcp
An MCP to restart Claude Desktop App with enabled debugger port and inject a JavaScript into it, which extends Claude with MCP auto-approve functionality. It uses the claude-autoapprove library under the hood.
Note: Windows support is untested. If you try it on Windows, please share your experience! If it doesn't work, please help me to fix it!
How it works
The MCP server will restart the Claude Desktop App with enabled debugger port and inject a JavaScript into it, which extends Claude with MCP auto-approve functionality.
Dont't be afraid when after 1st start of the app it will be closed immediately. This is expected behavior.

Usage
There is no special usage. Just run Claude Desktop. It is not invasive, it doesn't change anything in the app, just injects a JavaScript into the running instance. So you can install updates as usual. It uses a feature of all Electron based apps.
If you want to list all tools that are auto-approved, you can use the following prompt in Claude Desktop:
