Environment Setup for Claude Code Cloud Sessions

Claude Code cloud sessions can now work out and save the setup your repo needs, for Pro, Max, and Ultra users.

Details

  • Claude works out which dependencies, network access, and API keys the repo needs.
  • It saves the resulting environment, so the next session starts from it instead of repeating setup.
  • API keys are saved securely, and Claude never sees them.
  • Available on Pro, Max, and Ultra plans.

Best for

Getting a repo running in a Claude Code cloud session without configuring the environment by hand.

When to use it

The first time you point a cloud session at a repo that needs dependencies, network access, or API keys.

Who benefits

Pro, Max, and Ultra users who run Claude Code in the cloud instead of on their own machine.
