Claude Code
Frontend lets you run Claude Code directly from your project’s built-in terminal. Claude operates inside a sandboxed environment with full access to your project’s codebase, so you can use it to build, refactor, and debug just as you would locally — without any local setup.
Getting Started
Section titled “Getting Started”To use Claude Code, open the terminal in your project and launch Claude. You’ll be prompted to authenticate with your existing Claude account — no new account required. Once logged in, Claude has access to any Claude.ai connectors or MCP servers you’ve already configured, so your existing workflows carry over automatically.
What Claude Can Do
Section titled “What Claude Can Do”Once authenticated, Claude runs in the sandbox with direct access to your project files and can:
- Read and edit any file in your codebase
- Run terminal commands and scripts
- Use your connected MCP servers and Claude.ai connectors
- Work with Git to stage, commit, and manage changes
Git and Persistence
Section titled “Git and Persistence”Claude has access to Git inside the sandboxed environment, but the storage is ephemeral — local changes do not persist between sessions. To keep your work:
- Push to a remote repository — commit and push any changes to GitHub or another remote before your session ends
- Create a version snapshot — use the
createVersiontool available in the Frontend MCP server provided to Claude; this saves a named snapshot of your project that you can restore at any time from within Frontend
Making it a habit to push or snapshot before closing a session ensures nothing is lost between work sessions.
