Brief

Claude Code’s new HTTP hooks shift hook handling from local command execution to a server endpoint that receives events and returns responses. Tsai frames this as both a usability and security improvement, while also enabling richer integrations such as progress dashboards, permission controls, centralized updates, and shared state across multiple Claude Code environments.

In Claude Code, we’ve recently launched HTTP hooks, easier to use and more secure than existing command hooks! You can build a web app (even on localhost) to view CC’s progress, manage its permissions, and more. Then, now that you have a server with your hooks processing logic, you can easily deploy new changes or manage state across your CCs with a DB. How do HTTP hooks work? CC posts the hook event to a URL of your choice and awaits a response. They work wherever hooks are supported, including plugins, custom agents, and enterprise managed settings.
