CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD turns on cloud peer access; otherwise a server flag decides and it's off.

Cloud peer access sits behind CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD and an account entitlement, with the server-side fallback flag off by default.

Feature flag
tengu_harbor_kite_cloud Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD
What

CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD turns on cloud peer access. It only applies on top of first-party authentication and the allow_remote_sessions entitlement; without the variable the feature falls back to a server-side flag that is off by default. Setting it in .claude/settings.json or settings.local.json is ignored with a warning, since it is registered as blocked at project scope.

Details
  • Boolean env var, read after the base harbor-kite gate passes.
  • Server fallback is tengu_harbor_kite_cloud, default off.
Usage
CLAUDE_CODE_HARBOR_KITE_CLOUD=1 claude
