Telemetry and Model Improvement Settings

Claude Code supports environment settings for privacy-focused workflows.

Section titled “Recommended Claude Code settings”

Place these under env in ~/.claude/settings.json.

{
  "env": {
    "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY": "1",
    "DISABLE_TELEMETRY": "1",
    "DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING": "1",
    "DISABLE_NON_ESSENTIAL_MODEL_CALLS": "1"
  }
}

These settings do not disable Claude Code. They reduce optional prompts, reporting, telemetry, and non-essential model calls.
