VSCode (Win10) + Claude Code: chrome-devtools-mcp keeps asking permissions — how to auto-allow?

• Issue: chrome-devtools-mcp in Claude Code repeatedly asks for permissions (file/network/process), even after approving and after VSCode restarts.
• Goal: Auto-approve/whitelist this MCP server in trusted workspaces and remember at the user level.
• Env: Windows 10, VSCode 1.105.1, Claude Code 2.0.31, chrome-devtools-mcp [version], workspace is trusted.
• Tried: Marked workspace trusted; searched Claude/VSCode settings for approve/permission/MCP; set at user level; updated all; restarted; checked org/restricted mode.

Questions

1. Is there an “always allow”/“remember decisions” per-server toggle in the Claude extension? Exact location?
2. Is there a settings.json key to persist approvals for this server? Key path + example?
3. Any known issues on Win10/VSCode with approvals not sticking? Workarounds?
4. How to whitelist only chrome-devtools-mcp (not all servers)?
