Settings

Per-host settings

Per-host settings apply to a specific host, identified by its domain name or IP address. For example, if you have a local development server at http://localhost:3000, and adjust any per-host settings of Pacy on that host, those changes are remembered the next time you visit the same host.

Here are the settings that are per-host:

• AI agent (default: Claude Code)
• URL protocol (default: vscode://, inferred automatically when using agents other than Claude Code)
• Path prefix (Inferred automatically when using @pacy-dev/devtools-plugin and in some other cases)

Note

If Pacy encounters a brand-new host, and if you have recently overriden AI agent or URL protocol settings for a previous host, the new host will start off with the same values. For instance, if you selected RooCode instead of Claude Code on previous host in http://localhost:3000, if Pacy encounters a new host in http://localhost:5173 for the first time, the AI agent will be set to RooCode.

URL protocol

This setting determines the link that is opened when you click on “Navigate to code”. You don’t need to manually set this when using Cline, RooCode, VS Code, Windsurf, Cursor. You only need to set this when using Claude Code. The default value is vscode://. In the three-dots menu under “URL protocol”, you can instead choose cursor:// or windsurf://, or a custom URL protocol you’ve created.

Path prefix

This is the root directory of your project. When you use @pacy-dev/devtools-plugin you don’t need to set this manually as it will be inferred automatically from the nearest git root.
