3131| `claude import [source]` | Start an interactive session that runs [`/import`](/docs/en/commands#all-commands) to bring configuration from other coding agents into Claude Code. Accepts the same `--dry-run` and `--yes` options as the command. Not available on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, or Claude Platform on AWS. Also unavailable when you turn off [feature-flag fetching](/docs/en/env-vars#features-that-need-feature-flag-fetching). Requires Claude Code v2.1.213 or later | `claude import codex --dry-run` |
3232| `claude logs <id>` | Print recent output from a [background session](/docs/en/agent-view#manage-sessions-from-the-shell) | `claude logs 7c5dcf5d` |
3333| `claude mcp` | Configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers | See the [Claude Code MCP documentation](/docs/en/mcp). |
34| `claude mcp login <name>` | Run a configured MCP server's OAuth flow without opening the interactive `/mcp` panel. Works for HTTP, SSE, and claude.ai connector servers. Add `--no-browser` over SSH to print the authorization URL instead of opening a browser, then paste the redirect URL back at the prompt. Requires Claude Code v2.1.186 or later. See [Authenticate from the command line](/docs/en/mcp#authenticate-from-the-command-line) | `claude mcp login sentry` |
35| `claude mcp logout <name>` | Clear stored OAuth credentials for an MCP server. Requires Claude Code v2.1.186 or later | `claude mcp logout sentry` |
36| `claude plugin` | Manage Claude Code [plugins](/docs/en/plugins). Alias: `claude plugins`. See [plugin reference](/docs/en/plugins-reference#cli-commands-reference) for subcommands | `claude plugin install code-review@claude-plugins-official` |
34| `claude mcp login <name>` | Run a configured MCP server's OAuth flow without opening the interactive `/mcp` panel. Works for HTTP, SSE, and claude.ai connector servers. Add `--no-browser` over SSH to print the authorization URL instead of opening a browser, then paste the redirect URL back at the prompt. See [Authenticate from the command line](/docs/en/mcp#authenticate-from-the-command-line) | `claude mcp login sentry` |
35| `claude mcp logout <name>` | Clear stored OAuth credentials for an MCP server | `claude mcp logout sentry` |
36| `claude plugin` | Manage Claude Code [plugins](/docs/en/plugins/overview). Alias: `claude plugins`. See [plugin reference](/docs/en/plugins/cli-reference#claude-plugin-commands) for subcommands | `claude plugin install code-review@claude-plugins-official` |
3737| `claude project purge [path]` | Delete all local Claude Code state for a project: transcripts, task lists, debug logs, file-edit history, prompt history lines, and the project's entry in `~/.claude.json`. Omit `[path]` to pick from an interactive list. Flags: `--dry-run` to preview, `-y`/`--yes` to skip confirmation, `-i`/`--interactive` to confirm each item, `--all` for every project. See [Clear local data](/docs/en/claude-directory#clear-local-data) | `claude project purge ~/work/repo --dry-run` |
3838| `claude remote-control` | Start a [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) server to control Claude Code from Claude.ai or the Claude app. Runs in server mode (no local interactive session). See [Server mode flags](/docs/en/remote-control#start-a-remote-control-session). After you stop the server, you can bring back the sessions it was serving. See [Resume sessions after stopping the server](/docs/en/remote-control#resume-sessions-after-stopping-the-server) | `claude remote-control --name "My Project"` |
3939| `claude respawn <id>` | Restart a [background session](/docs/en/agent-view#manage-sessions-from-the-shell), running or stopped, with its conversation intact. Use `--all` to restart every running session, e.g. to pick up an updated Claude Code binary | `claude respawn 7c5dcf5d` |
from line 106
106106| `--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` |
107107| `--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"` |
108108| `--permission-prompts` | Set who answers permission prompts in print mode. With the default `host`, Claude Code sends them to the Agent SDK host or the `--permission-prompt-tool` tool. Pass `none` when nobody can answer, and Claude Code denies them instead. See [Turn off permission prompts in unattended runs](/docs/en/headless#turn-off-permission-prompts-in-unattended-runs). Requires Claude Code v2.1.259 or later | `claude -p --permission-prompts none "query"` |
109| `--plugin-dir` | Load a plugin from a directory or `.zip` archive, or several from a [folder of plugins](/docs/en/plugins#test-your-plugins-locally), for this session only. Each flag takes one path. Repeat the flag for more paths: `--plugin-dir A --plugin-dir B.zip`. Passing a folder of plugins requires Claude Code v2.1.265 or later | `claude --plugin-dir ./my-plugin` |
109| `--plugin-dir` | Load a plugin from a directory or `.zip` archive, or several from a [folder of plugins](/docs/en/plugins/create#load-a-directory-or-archive-for-one-session), for this session only. Each flag takes one path. Repeat the flag for more paths: `--plugin-dir A --plugin-dir B.zip`. Passing a folder of plugins requires Claude Code v2.1.265 or later | `claude --plugin-dir ./my-plugin` |
110110| `--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` |
111111| `--print`, `-p` | Print response without interactive mode (see [Agent SDK documentation](/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview) for programmatic usage details) | `claude -p "query"` |
112112| `--prompt-suggestions` | Emit a `prompt_suggestion` message with a predicted next user prompt after each turn that generates one; very short conversations can produce none. Requires `--print`, `--output-format stream-json`, and `--verbose`. See [Prompt suggestions](/docs/en/interactive-mode#prompt-suggestions) | `claude -p --prompt-suggestions --output-format stream-json --verbose "query"` |
from line 126
126126| `--system-prompt-file` | Load system prompt from a file, replacing the default prompt | `claude --system-prompt-file ./custom-prompt.txt` |
127127| `--system-prompt-snapshot` | Pass `off` to rebuild the system prompt on every request instead of reusing the prompt [recorded on the conversation's first request](#system-prompt-flags-in-resumed-conversations), for example while you iterate on `--append-system-prompt` text across `--continue` runs. Requires Claude Code v2.1.257 or later | `claude --system-prompt-snapshot off` |
128128| `--teleport` | Resume a [cloud session](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web) in your local terminal | `claude --teleport` |
129| `--teammate-mode` | Set how [agent team](/docs/en/agent-teams) teammates display: `in-process` (default), `auto`, `tmux`, or `iterm2` (added in v2.1.186). Overrides the [`teammateMode`](/docs/en/settings-reference#teammatemode) setting for this session. See [Choose a display mode](/docs/en/agent-teams#choose-a-display-mode) | `claude --teammate-mode auto` |
129| `--teammate-mode` | Set how [agent team](/docs/en/agent-teams) teammates display: `in-process` (default), `auto`, `tmux`, or `iterm2`. Overrides the [`teammateMode`](/docs/en/settings-reference#teammatemode) setting for this session. See [Choose a display mode](/docs/en/agent-teams#choose-a-display-mode) | `claude --teammate-mode auto` |
130130| `--tmux` | Create a tmux session for the worktree. Requires `--worktree`. Uses iTerm2 native panes when available; pass `--tmux=classic` for traditional tmux | `claude -w feature-auth --tmux` |
131131| `--tools` | Restrict which built-in tools Claude can use. Use `""` to disable all, `"default"` for the default set, or tool names like `"Bash,Edit,Read"`. On macOS, Linux, and WSL, the default set leaves out `Glob` and `Grep`, as described under [Glob tool behavior](/docs/en/tools-reference#glob-tool-behavior). If you name one of the [task-tracking tools](/docs/en/tools-reference#task-tool-availability) here, Claude Code also opts the session in. The flag doesn't affect MCP tools; to deny those too, use `--disallowedTools "mcp__*"`. A list that omits [`EndConversation`](/docs/en/tools-reference#endconversation-tool-behavior) doesn't remove it; `""` removes it only when no MCP tools remain | `claude --tools "Bash,Edit,Read"` |
132132| `--verbose` | Enable verbose logging, shows full turn-by-turn output. Overrides the [`viewMode`](/docs/en/settings-reference#viewmode) setting for this session | `claude --verbose` |
