Root, and a record
Why Claude Code works better on a VPS
Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent, driven from a terminal and wired into your editor, your MCP servers, your hooks and any subagents you have defined. It reads a project, plans a change, edits the files and runs the tests. Access comes from a Claude subscription or Anthropic API credits, billed by Anthropic rather than by us. Our template adds transcript logging, so every session leaves a readable record of the work.
A server suits it for reasons that stack up on each other. The machine stays on, so a long task continues after you disconnect and you pick the session back up from wherever you are next. The environment stays put as well, which means the agent meets the toolchain it met yesterday rather than whatever your laptop has become since. Full root then lets it install a dependency or start a service without stopping to ask, and that is most of the difference between an agent that helps and one that keeps interrupting you.
