Anthropic updates Claude Code to v2.1.319 with background MCP tasks and permission setting
Overview
Anthropic releases Claude Code v2.1.319, which moves MCP server tool calls that run as tasks to the background in terminal sessions and reports the result to Claude when they finish.
The release adds CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_MCP_TASK_BACKGROUND, which keeps those tasks in the tool call instead, and a permissions.denyInsteadOfPrompting setting that denies tool calls waiting on a permission prompt. Anthropic's release notes on GitHub are the source for these changes.
