102102| `--no-chrome` | Disable [Chrome browser integration](/docs/en/chrome) for this session | `claude --no-chrome` |
103103| `--no-session-persistence` | Disable session persistence so sessions are not saved to disk and cannot be resumed. Print mode only. The [`CLAUDE_CODE_SKIP_PROMPT_HISTORY`](/docs/en/env-vars) environment variable does the same in any mode | `claude -p --no-session-persistence "query"` |
104104| `--output-format` | Specify output format for print mode (options: `text`, `json`, `stream-json`) | `claude -p "query" --output-format json` |
105| `--permission-mode` | Begin in a specified [permission mode](/docs/en/permission-modes). Accepts `default`, `acceptEdits`, `plan`, `auto`, `dontAsk`, `bypassPermissions`, or `manual` as an alias for `default`. The `manual` alias selects the mode the UI labels Manual and requires Claude Code v2.1.200 or later; `claude --help` lists it in place of `default`, and both values work. Overrides `defaultMode` from settings files | `claude --permission-mode plan` |
105| `--permission-mode` | Begin in a specified [permission mode](/docs/en/permission-modes). Accepts `default`, `acceptEdits`, `plan`, `auto`, `dontAsk`, `bypassPermissions`, or `manual` as an alias for `default`. The `manual` alias selects the permission mode the UI labels Manual and requires Claude Code v2.1.200 or later; `claude --help` lists it in place of `default`, and both values work. Overrides `defaultMode` from settings files. Without this flag or `--dangerously-skip-permissions`, a new session starts in the permission mode described in [which permission mode a session starts in](/docs/en/permission-modes#which-mode-a-session-starts-in). For `-p`, that's `default` when nothing is configured | `claude --permission-mode plan` |
106106| `--permission-prompt-tool` | Specify an MCP tool to handle permission prompts in non-interactive mode. Claude Code waits for that tool's MCP server to connect before running the first turn, up to the [`MCP_TIMEOUT`](/docs/en/env-vars) startup timeout, 30 seconds by default. <br /><br />The prompt tool can't approve an MCP tool marked as [requiring user interaction](/docs/en/mcp#require-approval-for-a-specific-tool): Claude Code converts an `allow` result for one to a deny. This restriction requires Claude Code v2.1.199 or later | `claude -p --permission-prompt-tool mcp_auth_tool "query"` |
107107| `--plugin-dir` | Load a plugin from a directory or `.zip` archive for this session only. Each flag takes one path. Repeat the flag for multiple plugins: `--plugin-dir A --plugin-dir B.zip` | `claude --plugin-dir ./my-plugin` |
108108| `--plugin-url` | Fetch a plugin `.zip` archive from a URL for this session only. Repeat the flag for multiple plugins, or pass space-separated URLs in a single quoted value | `claude --plugin-url https://example.com/plugin.zip` |
