Feature request: Read claude.ai conversation history from Claude Code
Summary
Claude Code currently has no way to access conversation history from claude.ai (web/desktop apps) on the same Anthropic account. Bridging the two would eliminate redundant context-setting between exploratory thinking on claude.ai and implementation work in Claude Code.
Use case
I often start exploratory thinking, planning, or research on claude.ai (mobile/web), then switch to Claude Code to actually implement. Today, the only way to carry context across is manual copy-paste or downloading the JSON export from Settings → Privacy and re-loading it as a file. This is friction that pushes users to either restart context or stay on a less suitable surface.
Possible approaches
- Official MCP server for claude.ai conversation history (read-only), scoped to the signed-in Anthropic account.
- A
/import-claude-ai <conversation-id>slash command that pulls a specific conversation into the current Claude Code session. - Shared conversation storage tied to the Anthropic account, surfaced in both products.
Read-only is sufficient for my use case. Privacy-wise, treating it the same as the existing JSON export (user-initiated, account-scoped) seems reasonable.
Environment
- Claude Code (VSCode extension), Windows 11
- Model: claude-opus-4-7[1m]
