Claude Code

Padu runs Claude Code through Anthropic's official claude CLI and the Claude Agent SDK.

Does Claude Code cost extra in Padu?

No. Claude Code usage in Padu counts against your normal Anthropic Claude plan limits or API usage. Padu does not charge any additional fees.

Getting started

Install and sign in to the Claude Code CLI on the machine running Padu:

# Install Claude Code CLI
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

# Authenticate with your Anthropic account
claude

Padu automatically discovers the installed claude executable on your system PATH and uses your local authentication tokens when launching a Claude Code session.

If your authentication session expires, re-authenticate via claude in your terminal, then launch or resume sessions in Padu.

Running Claude Code in Padu

  • Desktop GUI: Select Claude Code from the provider picker when starting a new task or session.
  • Integrated Terminal: Open a terminal in any workspace and run claude directly with full PTY support.
