It is made for users who want a clear path to a ready-to-use settings file without hand editing every part.

- Extract the file if it downloads as a .zip.
- Open the app.
- Pick the parts you want to include in your Claude Code setup.
- Review the settings before saving.
- Export the
managed-settings.jsonfile. - Place the file where Claude Code expects it.
Set clear rules for what Claude Code can and cannot do. You can define access limits, file rules, and safer default behavior.
Control what actions are allowed. This helps you keep tighter control over commands and file access.
Choose how isolated the environment should be. This is useful when you want to reduce risk while running tools.
Manage MCP connections and settings in one place. This gives you a cleaner way to handle external tools and services.
Add hook rules for actions that should run before or after certain events.
Include plugin settings for a more structured setup. This helps keep related options together.
Define environment values without editing the file by hand. This makes repeat setup easier.

- Add MCP entries if your setup needs them.
- Include hooks or plugins if needed.
- Add environment variables.

After you export the file, put it in the location used by Claude Code on your system.
Common setup patterns include:
- A project folder for one workspace
- A central user settings location
- A managed folder used by your team
If you are not sure where Claude Code reads settings from, use the same folder each time so you can find it again.
- Set up a standard policy for a team
- Keep local Claude Code settings in one file
- Apply the same rules across many machines
- Reduce manual editing
- Build a cleaner policy file for security review
- Prepare settings for managed desktop use

The app generates a JSON file named managed-settings.json.
That file can include:
- Policy data
- Permissions
- Sandbox rules
- MCP entries
