Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

As an IT Operations Analyst using Claude heavily for professional workflows, I have no way to rename conversations in bulk on claude.ai web or macOS desktop. Renaming is strictly manual — one conversation at a time via the UI sidebar. When managing dozens of conversations across projects (incidents, tickets, research threads), keeping them organized requires repetitive manual clicking with no programmatic alternative.

Proposed Solution

Expose conversation rename functionality via the Claude API or as an MCP tool. At minimum:

  • rename_conversation(conversation_id, new_title) for single renames
  • Bulk rename support scoped by project or date range

This would allow users and skills/agents built on Claude to organize conversations programmatically without manual UI intervention.

Alternative Solutions

Currently none exist on web or macOS. The only known workaround is the Android app, where long-pressing a conversation and selecting "Edit" allows renaming. This confirms the functionality exists server-side — it simply hasn't been surfaced on other platforms or via API.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example

  1. I have 40+ conversations in a Claude Project spanning an IT ops engagement
  2. I want to apply a consistent naming convention (e.g. "IT Ops – [topic] – [date]")
  3. With this feature, I could run a single command or skill to rename all of them at once
  4. Currently I have to open each conversation individually and rename it manually — 40+ clicks

Additional Context

Note: this request is for the claude.ai web and desktop experience, not Claude Code specifically. Filing here for community visibility and upvoting. The Android app already supports renaming via long press → Edit, which confirms server-side support exists.
