Using Claude Code with lite.computer

Q: Where does the lite.computer instruction go for Claude Code?

In ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md for every project, or in a project's own CLAUDE.md for that project alone.

Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent. It reads the files in a folder, edits them and runs commands, which makes it as comfortable writing a dashboard or a report as writing software.

It runs in three places on a Mac: a terminal, an extension for VS Code or JetBrains, and the Code tab of the Claude desktop app. All three save to the same folders on your disk, so any of them can fill a Showspace.

Set it up

In lite.computer, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and open the Agent Helper. Copy the paragraph it gives you and paste it into ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, so every session knows where your Showspace is.
Give Claude Code the app's commands by running the line below once, in a terminal.
Keep lite.computer open on your Showspace. Start a new Claude Code session and ask Use the lite.computer tool to list every page in my Showspace. It lists the pages in your folder.

Run once, in a terminal

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http lite-computer http://127.0.0.1:48484/mcp

--scope user makes every project see it.

Paste into Claude Code

Build an interactive status page for this project: a timeline of this week's commits that animates in, the TODO notes in the code in a list you can filter by folder, and a chart of results from running the test suite that shows details on hover. Save it as a single self-contained HTML file in my Showspace, then open it in lite.computer. Set it to rebuild every weekday morning.

Good to know

We use Claude Code with lite.computer ourselves.
Claude Code on the web, at claude.ai/code, works in a GitHub repository. For pages in your Showspace, use Claude Code in your terminal, your editor or the desktop app.
Remote Control lets you keep a session going from the Claude app on your phone, on a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan. The work runs on your Mac with lite.computer open, so pages keep landing in your Showspace.
Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. If you already keep instructions in AGENTS.md, add the line @AGENTS.md to your CLAUDE.md and it reads both.
In the Claude desktop app, scheduled tasks run Claude Code on your Mac on a timetable, so a status page can rebuild itself every morning.
