Configuration
Config files
Section titled “Config files”Claude Yard stores its config in ~/.multi-claude/:
| File | Used by | Ports |
|---|---|---|
app-config.json | Production (packaged Electron app) | 9595 / 9596 |
app-config.dev.json | Development (npm run electron:dev) | 8587 / 8588 |
Both files use the same format:
{ "serverPort": 9595, "clientPort": 9596}Production and development can run simultaneously — they use different ports and different config files.
Environment variables
Section titled “Environment variables”| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
APP_CONFIG_PATH | Path to the config file. Required by all server processes — crashes with a clear error if missing. |
NODE_ENV | development or production |
Port allocation
Section titled “Port allocation”| Server | Client | CDP | CDP Proxy | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Production | 9595 | 9596 | 9223 | 9224 |
| Development | 8587 | 8588 | 9224 | 9225 |
