Set up Claude Code in Derp with full notification support, rich input, code review, and more.

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that operates directly in your terminal. It understands your codebase, executes commands, edits files, and manages Git workflows — all through natural language. For full documentation, see the official Claude Code docs.

Derp auto-detects Claude Code when you run it, giving you access to rich input controls, code review, agent notifications, and other integrated features. For a product overview, see Claude Code in Derp.

For installation, authentication, project configuration, and productivity tips, see the How to set up Claude Code guide.

Setting up notifications

Section titled “Setting up notifications”

Derp supports agent notifications for Claude Code through a plugin. Once installed, Derp surfaces in-app and desktop alerts when Claude Code needs your input — such as command approval, code review, or error intervention.

Auto-install

Section titled “Auto-install”

Each time you run Claude Code in Derp without the notification plugin installed, a notification chip appears offering one-click installation. Click the chip to install the plugin automatically. After installation, Derp immediately starts receiving notifications from Claude Code.

Manual install

Section titled “Manual install”

If the auto-install chip doesn't appear or fails to install the plugin, install it manually. From inside Claude Code, run:

Terminal window
/plugin marketplace add derpdotdev/claude-code-derp
/plugin install derp@claude-code-derp

Or from your terminal (outside of Claude Code):

Terminal window
claude plugin marketplace add derpdotdev/claude-code-derp
claude plugin install derp@claude-code-derp

After installing, restart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins to activate the plugin.

Installation instructions banner

Section titled “Installation instructions banner”

If the auto-install chip doesn't work, or if you're running Claude Code over SSH or on a remote machine, Derp displays an installation instructions banner directly in the terminal. The banner shows step-by-step commands that you can run in place — no need to switch between tabs or copy-paste from external documentation.

For plugin source and updates, see the claude-code-derp GitHub repository.
