from line 299
299299| `CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_AUTO_BACKGROUND_MS` | Elapsed time in milliseconds before a still-running MCP tool call [moves to a background task](/docs/en/mcp#automatic-backgrounding-of-long-tool-calls) (default: 120000, or 2 minutes). Set to `0` to turn automatic backgrounding off. Requires Claude Code v2.1.212 or later |
300300| `CLAUDE_CODE_MCP_TOOL_IDLE_TIMEOUT` | Idle timeout in milliseconds for MCP tool calls. When a stdio, HTTP, SSE, WebSocket, or [claude.ai connector](/docs/en/mcp#use-mcp-servers-from-claude-ai) MCP server sends no response and no progress notification for this long, the tool call aborts with an error instead of waiting for the overall `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT`. Overrides the per-transport defaults of 300000 (5 minutes) for network servers and 1800000 (30 minutes) for stdio servers. Set to `0` to disable the idle check. Values below 1000 are raised to one second, and the value is capped at the effective `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT`. A per-server `timeout` in `.mcp.json` of at least 1000 raises that server's idle window to at least the `timeout` value. Doesn't apply to IDE servers or SDK in-process servers. Requires Claude Code v2.1.187 or later. Before v2.1.203, stdio servers were exempt from the idle timeout |
301301| `CLAUDE_CODE_MESSAGING_SOCKET` | Set by Claude Code, not by you: in sessions that bind an [inbox socket](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#the-sessions-inbox-socket), Claude Code exports that socket's path to hooks and Bash commands when it binds the socket. In a session that starts with messaging on, Claude Code binds the socket before any hook runs. Other sessions on the machine deliver messages to this path. Each session exports its own socket rather than one inherited from a parent, and messages arriving on it go through the session's [inbound controls](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#control-inbound-messages). Settings `env` blocks can't set it. Requires Claude Code v2.1.224 or later |
302| `CLAUDE_CODE_MESSAGING_TOKEN` | Set by Claude Code, not by you: in sessions that bind an [inbox socket](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#the-sessions-inbox-socket), Claude Code exports this per-session token to hooks and Bash commands alongside `CLAUDE_CODE_MESSAGING_SOCKET`. A script posting to the socket can send `{"type":"auth","token":"<token>"}` as its first line to prove it belongs to the session. The [own-child rules](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#the-sessions-inbox-socket) say when Claude Code consults it. Each session exports its own token, never one inherited from a parent session. Settings `env` blocks can't set it. Requires Claude Code v2.1.228 or later |
302| `CLAUDE_CODE_MESSAGING_TOKEN` | Set by Claude Code, not by you: in sessions that bind an [inbox socket](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#the-sessions-inbox-socket), Claude Code exports this per-session token to hooks and Bash commands alongside `CLAUDE_CODE_MESSAGING_SOCKET`. A script posting to the socket can send `{"type":"auth","token":"<token>"}` as its first line to prove it belongs to the session. On native Windows, Claude Code requires this line and closes any connection that doesn't open with a valid one. The [own-child rules](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#the-sessions-inbox-socket) say when Claude Code consults the token. Each session exports its own token, never one inherited from a parent session. Settings `env` blocks can't set it. Requires Claude Code v2.1.228 or later |
303303| `CLAUDE_CODE_NATIVE_CURSOR` | Set to `1` to show the terminal's own cursor at the input caret instead of a drawn block. The cursor respects the terminal's blink, shape, and focus settings |
304304| `CLAUDE_CODE_NEW_INIT` | Set to `1` to make `/init` run an interactive setup flow. The flow asks which files to generate, including CLAUDE.md, skills, and hooks, before exploring the codebase and writing them. Without this variable, `/init` generates a CLAUDE.md automatically without prompting |
305305| `CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER` | Set to `1` to enable [fullscreen rendering](/docs/en/fullscreen), a research preview that reduces flicker and keeps memory flat in long conversations. You can also switch with `/tui fullscreen` |
