[BUG] [Desktop] No way to edit or delete saved SSH connections

[zdhz]

Preflight Checklist

• I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• I am using the latest version of Claude Code

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.

Screenshot showing the SSH environment dropdown — "Devbox 1", "Devbox 2", and "Devbox test" are saved connections with no edit/delete controls visible (unlike "Local" and "Default" which show a gear icon on hover):

👎🏼 this is not a duplicate of any of the above 3. This is also a regression, as it was working in a previous version of the desktop app.

There's an easy workaround for Mac. You can edit:

./ssh_configs.json

File in

~/Library/Application Support/Claude

This is a simple JSON you can edit/remove entries
