Claude Desktop

Anthropic's official Claude AI desktop app for macOS.

Install

brew install --cask claude

• Cask: claude (Homebrew)
• App path: /Applications/Claude.app
• Auto-updates: yes (handled by the app itself, not brew)
• Requirements: macOS >= 12
• Source: https://claude.com/download

Notes

• macOS 27 (Tahoe / pre-release) is Tier 2 in Homebrew — install still works, just no official support.
• Sign in with the same Anthropic account used for claude.ai / Claude Code.
• MCP servers configured in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.
