What's Wrong?

SSH connections added via the environment dropdown (+ Add SSH connection) appear in the dropdown persistently, but there is no UI to edit or delete them. Hovering over a saved SSH connection does not reveal a gear icon or any management controls, unlike the "Local" environment which shows a gear icon on hover.

What Should Happen?

Hovering over a saved SSH connection (or right-clicking) should reveal options to edit or delete it, consistent with how Local environment management works.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the environment dropdown in the Claude desktop app
  2. Click "+ Add SSH connection" and add one or more SSH connections
  3. Try to edit or delete a saved SSH connection
  4. No edit/delete option is available — connections can only be selected, not managed

Claude Model

None

Is this a regression?

Yes, this worked in the previous version

Last Working Version

Previous version to current redesign

Claude Code Version

Claude Desktop v1.2581.0 (f10398) — 2026-04-14T17:16:40.000Z

Platform

Anthropic API

Operating System

macOS

Terminal/Shell

Terminal.app (macOS)

Additional Information

No management UI is present for saved SSH connections. There is also no documented file path where these connections are stored, making manual editing impossible.

This appears to be a missing feature / UX gap rather than a crash-level bug. Users who add test/incorrect SSH connections have no way to clean them up short of possibly clearing app data.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by implementing a management UI for saved SSH connections, allowing users to edit or delete them.

Guidance

  • Review the code responsible for rendering the environment dropdown and SSH connections to identify why the management controls (e.g., gear icon) are not being displayed for saved SSH connections.
  • Investigate the differences in UI handling between Local environment and SSH connections to ensure consistency in management options.
  • Consider adding a feature to store SSH connections in a configurable file or database, allowing for easier management and potential manual editing.
  • Verify that the issue is indeed a regression by comparing the current codebase with the previous version that worked as expected.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more context, but the solution likely involves modifying the UI components responsible for the environment dropdown and SSH connection management.

Notes

The issue seems to be a missing feature rather than a bug, and resolving it will require adding new functionality to the Claude desktop app. The lack of documentation on where SSH connections are stored complicates manual editing or removal.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually clearing app data to remove unwanted SSH connections, while the development team works on implementing the necessary management UI for a permanent fix. This is chosen because it provides an immediate, though not ideal, solution for users affected by the issue.
