Claude Code CLI support is a command-line provider surface.
That means it should be installed, discovered, configured, and tested separately from editor or agent-window surfaces. The main requirement is that Claude Code CLI can call AxiOwl MCP tools and provide enough identity for AxiOwl to connect replies to the correct session.
The installer role is to configure the MCP path when Claude Code CLI is discovered and selected. It should not preselect Claude on machines where discovery does not find it. It should not modify Claude config when the user leaves the Claude feature unchecked.
Discovery should identify relevant Claude CLI sessions and preserve the working directory or session information that helps distinguish them. CLI sessions can be tricky because they may not have friendly chat names the way editor sessions do. AxiOwl should use the strongest provider-owned identity available.
The test should be response-backed. A Claude Code CLI target should receive a known prompt and reply through AxiOwl with the expected marker. A receipt alone proves only the local or delivery boundary.
Claude Code CLI is attractive because it does not require an editor patch. That does not mean it has no integration requirements. MCP config, auth state, cwd behavior, and session identity still matter.
The product page should describe Claude Code CLI honestly: a CLI provider surface that needs MCP setup and metadata proof.
Support is real when the CLI can receive, reply, and identify itself.
