Guide details bypassing corporate MDM and AI gateways on Claude Code

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

These restrictions, often implemented by IT departments, can override user-selected settings and reroute prompt data through unverified channels. The post details how MDM agents modify configuration files like `managed-settings.json` and `managed-mcp.json` in the `/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/` directory, making them immutable even to root users. A provided Zsh script, `claudecode-cleanup.sh`, demonstrates how to clear these immutable flags and remove the restrictive files, restoring Claude Code to its default configuration. AI
