Feature Request
Summary: Allow Claude Code CLI to access user preferences configured in Claude.ai GUI
The Problem:
I pay for Claude. I configure my preferences in the GUI app. When I use Claude Code CLI with the same account, those preferences do not exist. I cannot even READ them from CLI.
What I Need (pick one or both):
- Minimum: An API endpoint or CLI command to READ my GUI preferences from Claude Code
claude preferencesor similar- Let me see what I configured in the GUI
- Ideal: Sync preferences between GUI and CLI automatically
- Same account = same preferences
- Changes in either place reflect in both
Why This Matters:
- I should not have to configure preferences twice
- I should not lose my preferences when switching between GUI and CLI
- The OAuth token already has
user:profilescope - use it
Current Broken State:
- GUI preferences: locked behind Cloudflare, inaccessible via API
- CLI preferences: separate local file (
~/.claude/settings.local.json) - No bridge between them
- Same paying customer, two disconnected experiences
Environment:
- Claude Code: 2.0.76
- macOS
