Build with Claude Code on your Claude account

Flockbay can run Claude Code, Anthropic’s coding agent, on the Claude account you already pay for. Its work shows in Flockbay’s chat, with Flockbay’s Godot tools added to it.

Which Claude accounts work

Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Claude’s free plan does not include Claude Code; on it, the app tells you that account can’t build here, and Upgrade Claude opens Anthropic’s site.

What you use is counted by Anthropic against your plan. Flockbay sets no API key or proxy for Claude Code.

Switch a chat to Claude Code

  1. In the model menu (the pill next to Send), choose the Claude Code tab. The usage gauge’s menu has the same door: Use your own AI.
  2. Press Sign in to Claude Code the first time. Anthropic’s sign-in page opens in your browser; once you are through, the card reads Claude Code is ready.
  3. Send your message. The chat keeps Claude Code from then on, and new chats start on it.

Windows: Claude Code is bundled with Flockbay and updates along with it. Mac: Flockbay picks up your installed Claude Code, or adds Anthropic’s package through Homebrew. Linux: install Claude Code yourself and Flockbay uses it. A terminal sign-in to Claude Code carries over, since both read the same one.

What runs without asking

The composer’s Permissions menu sets this for each chat; Ctrl+Shift+M cycles the modes:

  • Plan mode: the AI answers with a plan first and changes nothing before you press Build it.
  • Ask before edits: you approve each edit, each command, and each Flockbay tool that would change something.
  • Edit automatically, the default: Flockbay’s tools and edits inside your project run without asking; other shell commands ask first.
  • Full access: commands, reads and edits anywhere on the computer, without asking.

Model and Effort

The Claude Code tab lists the models your account can use, by their real names, with Default first. Effort shows the levels the chosen model offers. Both stay with the chat.

Stop or switch

Stop, where Send is during a turn, stops the turn and shuts that Claude Code process down. To leave Claude Code, pick another model for the chat. The sign-in belongs to Claude Code, so to sign out, type /logout inside Claude Code.

On a plan

Your own AI costs nothing through your first build. From then on it comes with Indie Developer and Studio, and with Hobby if you choose your own AI at checkout. Pricing has the details.
