Desktop AI apps

This is the path for AI apps that run locally on your computer: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and any other AI app that supports a local tool connection.

The easy way

The dashboard's Install page walks you through every supported app with one-click buttons:

  1. Sign in to the dashboard.
  2. Open Install in the sidebar.
  3. Click Generate new key to create an API key for this device.
  4. Pick your AI app from the grid below.
  5. Follow the recipe shown for that app — most are a single command, a one-click button, or a paste-this-into-Settings step.

That's it. Your AI app picks Lune up the next time it starts.

Common questions

Do I need to install anything? For most apps, no — they spawn the helper on demand. For Claude Desktop specifically, the install page gives you a copy-pasteable configuration to drop into Claude's settings.

Can I use the same key on multiple devices? You can, but we recommend minting one key per device so you can revoke just the one if a laptop is lost or sold. The dashboard's Credentials page lists every key on your account and lets you revoke them individually.

My AI app isn't in the recipe list. If it follows the standard custom-connector pattern, the "Any other AI app" recipe at the bottom of the Install page works — paste the connection details into your app's settings and you're done.

Where do I see what the assistant can do once connected? Open a chat after connecting and ask "What tools do you have access to now?" Your assistant should list every Lune ability.
