Description

Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The visualize MCP fails to initialize on startup with the error:

"Failed to set up MCP app for 'visualize'. Check that claudemcpcontent.com is not blocked by your network or browser."

The domain claudemcpcontent.com has no DNS A, AAAA, or CNAME records — it cannot resolve to any IP address regardless of the client's network configuratio

What Should Happen?

The visualize MCP should load successfully. claudemcpcontent.com should resolve to a valid IP address so Claude Code can reach it.

Error Messages/Logs

Failed to set up MCP app for "visualize". Check that claudemcpcontent.com is not blocked by your network or browser.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Claude Code on Windows 11
  2. Observe the startup error banner: "Failed to set up MCP app for 'visualize'..."
  3. Run Resolve-DnsName claudemcpcontent.com -Type A in PowerShell — returns only a SOA record, no A record
  4. Confirm no client-side blocks: hosts file has no entry for the domain; Windows Firewall has only Allow rules for Claude

Additional Information

This is a server-side DNS misconfiguration, not a client network issue. The domain is registered and delegated to Cloudflare nameservers (isla.ns.cloudflare.com) but has no address records published. No client-side fix is possible until DNS records are added to the zone.
