Connect Claude Code

You connect once. After that Claude Code works inside the kitchen, where your projects live. You need the Claude desktop app and a Claude account.

The same steps are in Eggie: open the console → Agents → Claude Code. When it’s done, Eggie marks it Connected.

Agents tab in Eggie

Claude Code connects to the kitchen over SSH. Your SSH host and SSH port are on the card in Eggie → Agents → Claude Code. For the SSH key you need the private key file you downloaded when you made your SSH key in the Eggie web app. It is usually in your .ssh folder, named like eggie-…_ed25519.
