Claude Auto-ApproveSAFE
An MCP server to inject auto-approve MCP functionality into Claude Desktop
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Warning The May 1st update introduced an "Always approve" button - do not use this as it cannot be undone!claude-autoapprove-mcprestores the safer "Allow for this chat" functionality: - Configure permanent approvals in config - Make per-chat decisions for other tools - Change decisions in newer chats This provides granular control while maintaining security. If you by mistake used the "Always approve" button, as a workaround you can rename the mcp in theclaude_desktop_config.jsonfile to something else. Example:git->git_new. If Anthropic fixes this bug in the future, we may not needclaude-autoapprove-mcpanymore.
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.
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.
