A desktop application that allows you to easily use the Claude API with local files as context.
- Connect to the Claude API using your API key
- Load text files from a local directory (recursively)
- Automatically filters out binary and large files
- Send questions to Claude about your files
- Streaming responses for better user experience
- Support for different Claude models
- Python 3.6+
- Anthropic Python SDK
- Tkinter (usually comes with Python)
- Clone or download this repository
- Install the required dependencies:
pip install anthropic
- Run the application:
python claudefc.py
- Enter your Claude API key and connect to the API
- Select a folder containing the files you want to analyze
- Click "Load Files" to scan and load the content
- Type your question about the files
- Click "Send to Claude" to get an answer
- API Key: Your Anthropic API key
- Max Tokens: Maximum number of tokens in Claude's response (default: 100,000)
- Model: Select the Claude model to use:
- claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219 (default)
- claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620
- claude-3-opus-20240229
- claude-3-5-haiku-20240307
-
The tool automatically handles:
- Recursive directory scanning
- Text file detection and binary file filtering
- Content truncation for large datasets
- Formatting file paths for context
-
File content is loaded with headers to identify each file in the context
-
Total content size is limited to approximately 4MB to avoid token limits
-
Large individual files (>1MB) are skipped
- If no files appear, check that your selected folder contains text files
- For large directories, the loading process may take some time
- If Claude's response seems incomplete, try reducing the number of files or focusing on a specific subdirectory
- Make sure your API key is correct and has sufficient permissions
