What
A new hook type that sends HTTP POST requests instead of executing shell commands, enabling webhook-style integrations.
Usage (in settings.json or CLAUDE.md):
{
"hooks": {
"PreToolUse": [{
"type": "http",
"url": "https://your-server.com/hook",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer $MY_TOKEN"
},
"timeout": 30
}]
}
}Details
- Supports environment variable expansion in headers (
$VAR_NAMEor${VAR_NAME}syntax) - Configurable timeout per request
- JSON response parsing with optional logging
- Works with all hook events including the new ConfigChange event
