The project Claude made is a normal Concat project folder on your disk, so you can open it in the Concat window and edit it by hand. There are two things to get right first.

1. Make sure it was saved, then closed by the agent. Over MCP, edits only exist in memory until project_save is called. Ask Claude to run project_close with save: true, or at least project_save. Then end that Claude session. When Concat runs headless for the agent, it locks every project folder it has open (concat.lock), and the window refuses to open a project the agent still holds (docs/MCP.md#L42-L43, L69). The lock is released when that process exits.
2. Find the folder. It's location/name from the project_create call. If you don't remember it, ask Claude to run project_list, which returns the recent projects with their folder path (tools.rs#L178-L192). The agent can only write under your home folder, so it'll be somewhere in there.

Then open Concat and use Open project on the start screen (it may also be under Recent projects). Pick that folder and edit as usual.

If you want to keep using Claude and editing by hand at the same time, turn on Settings > Automation > Scripts and apps in the open window. The MCP server then goes through the window instead of running its own engine. It still won't edit the project you have on screen, though. Live co-editing is tracked in #337.

suggestion it should have an auto save will be great also.
