Claude Code 2.1.281
By Steven Van ·
Adds a settings.json option to hide commit and PR attribution, plus MCP elicitation and Bedrock gateway updates.
Claude Code 2.1.281 adds a setting to turn off commit and PR attribution, plus updates to MCP support and the Claude apps gateway.
- Setting "attribution": false in settings.json hides all commit and PR attribution. Older CLI versions skip a settings file that holds it, so the object form is best kept in files shared across versions.
- MCP servers on 2026-07-28 protocol connections can now use URL-mode elicitation, letting a server ask Claude Code to open a browser-based flow. No waiting dialog is left on screen if the server has no way to confirm completion.
- claude plugin validate now checks MCP server entries in .mcp.json as part of validation.
- The Claude apps gateway adds assume_role support for Bedrock upstreams, letting the gateway call Bedrock as an IAM role assumed via STS, optionally in another AWS account or with one session per developer. It also adds a guardrail setting to apply an Amazon Bedrock guardrail to every request, a telemetry.resource_attributes option to label Claude Desktop and /login session telemetry, and support for newer Claude Desktop policy keys including blockReadsOutsideWorkingDirectories and disableBypassPermissionsMode.
