Skills, agents, hooks, MCP servers, plugins, environment variables, sessions, CLAUDE.md files and memory from every project. One scan of ~/.claude/ puts all of it on a single console.

Computerstatus report
All systems nominal. 37 modules installed, 7 vessels in the fleet, 12 hooks armed.
Everything Claude Code knows about your setup, on one console. Each module below ships in the claude-hud-lcars package today.
PADD readouts
Click any row and the detail panel slides open with the full file. Markdown renders with tables and code blocks, JSON configs get syntax highlighting, and secrets are redacted.
Universal search
Press Cmd+K, Ctrl+K or / from any screen to search every skill, hook, server, agent, memory file and session at once, colour-coded by type.
Ship's computer
The COMPUTER bar streams answers from Claude in the voice of the LCARS computer. Your skills become installed modules and your MCP servers become the fleet. Runs in live mode with your own API key.
Voice and SFX
Spoken replies through the browser's speech engine or ElevenLabs. Every click gets a synthesized LCARS chirp from the Web Audio API, with no sound files shipped.
Tactical display
A force-directed sensor map of your whole setup. Drag nodes, hover for readouts and click to jump straight to an item. A 3D Enterprise-D waits in the same tab.
Alert conditions
An MCP server goes offline and the console drops to red alert with a flashing border and klaxon. Missing configs raise yellow alert. A healthy setup reads Condition Green.
MCP marketplace
Browse local marketplaces or load the official MCP registry and npm, then install a server straight into settings.json with one click.
Ship themes
Enterprise-D, Defiant, Voyager and Discovery palettes. Name your ship and it appears in the header bar and the boot sequence.

The real console runs a force-directed graph where every skill, MCP server, hook, agent and memory file is a contact around your ship. What you see here is a 3D sweep of the same idea.

Security protocols
- MCP server environment variables are replaced with {redacted} before they reach the page.
- File open and save are sandboxed to ~/.claude/ with path traversal checks.
- Your API key stays on the local server and is never written into the HTML.
- The static dashboard makes no external requests apart from the LCARS typeface.
Live mode
The COMPUTER bar chat needs an Anthropic API key in its own variable, so it never spends the key Claude Code uses. Browsing works without one.

“I've watched civilizations rise and fall in the time it takes you to configure a webhook. And yet here you are, with a dashboard. Bravo, mon capitaine. Truly.”
Answers from the library computer.
What is CLAUDELCARS?
CLAUDELCARS is the home of claude-hud-lcars, a free npm package that turns your Claude Code configuration into a Star Trek LCARS operations dashboard. It reads your ~/.claude/ directory and generates a single self-contained HTML file showing every skill, agent, hook, MCP server, plugin, memory file, session and CLAUDE.md you have.
How do I install it?
Run npx claude-hud-lcars in a terminal. You need Node.js 18 or later and an existing Claude Code install. To keep it on your machine, run npm install -g claude-hud-lcars and then claude-hud-lcars.
How do I see all my Claude Code skills, hooks and MCP servers in one place?
Run npx claude-hud-lcars. It lists every skill in ~/.claude/skills, every hook and MCP server in settings.json and project .mcp.json files, plus agents, plugins and environment variables, each with a count in the sidebar. Click any row to read the full definition, and press Cmd+K to search across all of them.
Can I read my Claude Code memory files and CLAUDE.md files?
Yes. The dashboard collects memory files and CLAUDE.md files from every project under ~/.claude/projects, plus your global CLAUDE.md, and renders each one as formatted markdown. In live mode you can open them in your editor straight from the detail panel.
Do I need an API key?
Browsing your setup needs no key at all. The AI chat in the COMPUTER bar runs in live mode: set CLAUDE_DASHBOARD_API_KEY to an Anthropic API key and run npx claude-hud-lcars --serve. It uses its own variable so it never spends the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY that Claude Code relies on.
Is my data sent anywhere?
The static dashboard is a local HTML file that makes no external requests apart from loading the LCARS typeface. MCP server environment variables are redacted. In live mode, file operations are restricted to ~/.claude/ and your API key stays on the local server.
What does it scan?
Skills in ~/.claude/skills, agents in ~/.claude/agents, hooks, MCP servers, plugins and environment variables from settings.json, memory files and CLAUDE.md files from every project, session metadata and conversation history. It also finds project-level .mcp.json files in common code directories, and CLAUDE_HUD_DIRS adds more.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS and Linux with Node.js 18 or later. The package has zero runtime dependencies.
Is it free?
Yes for personal and open source use. claude-hud-lcars is released under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0, which does not permit commercial use.
How do I update it?
npx always fetches the latest release. For a global install run npm update -g claude-hud-lcars. In live mode, CONFIG then Server Info has RESTART and UPDATE buttons.
Is this affiliated with Star Trek or Anthropic?
No. It is an independent fan-made developer tool by André Figueira. Star Trek and LCARS are trademarks of CBS Studios Inc. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic.
All systems nominal
One command. Your bridge.
If you use Claude Code, you already run a complex system of skills, hooks, servers and memory. This puts it on screen in about a second, and the screen happens to be the Enterprise.
