It defines SSH connections, links to another computer over the network, for Claude Desktop, where the computer to connect to is worked out by running a command. Claude Code itself does not use this setting.\n\n**Why**\n\nSetting it only has an effect in Claude Desktop, so adding it for Claude Code will change nothing there.\n\n- Area: Settings\n- Names: `sshHostCommands`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
