WHY VAGON
● 01
Runs on Windows or Ubuntu
Anthropic lists Windows 10 1809+ and Ubuntu 20.04+ with 4 GB+ RAM as supported. Install it in a terminal on your Vagon computer; nothing goes on your laptop.
Isolated, with scoped access
Claude Code works on a separate VM, away from your laptop’s files and SSH keys. Sign in with your own Claude account and use throwaway credentials.
MCP server, app and GPU together
Register an app’s MCP server with claude mcp add on the same computer. RTX-enabled NVIDIA GPUs and 149 preinstalled apps, or install your own.
Watch it, take over, reset
It is a live desktop in your browser: grab the mouse when Claude Code gets stuck. Reset to a clean image after a risky run; shut down and the meter stops.
SETUP
● 02
01
Pick Windows for the app guides (SolidWorks needs Windows) or Ubuntu for coding and browser work. Add your apps and Vagon installs them before you connect.
02
Open PowerShell on a Windows computer, run Anthropic’s native installer, then start claude in your project folder and sign in with your own Claude account. Nothing gets installed on your laptop.
TERMINAL · VAGON COMPUTER
Ubuntu: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash. WinGet and npm installs are documented too. Vagon supplies no AI access or keys.
03
Run /init inside Claude Code to generate a starting CLAUDE.md, then register each app’s MCP server with claude mcp add and check it with claude mcp list.
MCP servers
A remote HTTP server, then a local server from the Claude + Godot guide.
Project memory
Generates CLAUDE.md. Keep it concrete and under about 200 lines.
04
Press Shift+Tab to cycle permission modes: manual asks before each tool’s first use, accept edits auto-approves file edits, and plan researches and proposes without editing. Work on a copy of the project first.

WORKING WITH CLAUDE CODE
● 05
Memory, permissions, sessions
CLAUDE.md is project memory. Claude reads it at the start of every session. Put build and test commands there and run /init to generate a first draft.
Permission modes. Shift+Tab cycles manual, accept edits and plan. The bypassPermissions mode skips prompts, so keep it for a throwaway copy.
Pick up where you left off. claude --continue reopens the most recent conversation and claude --resume continues a specific one.
Remote Control. Run /remote-control to follow a session from claude.ai/code or the Claude app. It needs a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise login, and the Vagon computer must stay on with claude running.
MCP and Claude Desktop
Remote and local servers. Use claude mcp add --transport http for a remote URL, or claude mcp add <name> -- <command> for a local server that runs on the computer.
Claude Desktop on the same machine. Install Claude Desktop on the Vagon Windows computer to use Claude Code without a terminal. Its connectors are MCP servers with a graphical setup.
Many MCP servers are community-built. Supported versions and tools vary, so start in plan mode on a copy.
You bring Claude access and licenses. Sign in with your own Claude account. Apps such as Premiere Pro or SolidWorks need your own license on the computer.
