157157The handler launches Claude Code in a detected terminal emulator. On macOS, Claude Code remembers the terminal from your most recent interactive session and reuses it, supporting iTerm2, Ghostty, kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, and Terminal.app. On Linux it honors the `$TERMINAL` environment variable, then `x-terminal-emulator`, then a list of common emulators. On Windows it prefers Windows Terminal, then PowerShell, then `cmd.exe`.

159To prevent registration entirely, set [`disableDeepLinkRegistration`](/docs/en/settings-reference#disabledeeplinkregistration) to `"disable"` in `settings.json`. To enforce this across an organization so users cannot re-enable it, set it in [managed settings](/docs/en/server-managed-settings) instead.

163163The VS Code extension registers its own handler at `vscode://anthropic.claude-code/open`, which opens a Claude Code editor tab rather than a terminal window. See [Launch a VS Code tab from other tools](/docs/en/vs-code#launch-a-vs-code-tab-from-other-tools) for that URL's parameters.
