Quick Start

Installation

Install via PyPI (Recommended):

pip install claudesavvy

Install from source (for development):

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/allannapier/claude_monitor.git
cd claude_monitor

# Install the package
pip install .

Running

# Start the web server (default port 5000)
claudesavvy

# Open your browser to http://localhost:5000

That's it! The dashboard will load your Claude Code usage data automatically.

Usage

Basic Commands

# Start server on default port 5000
claudesavvy

# Start on custom port
claudesavvy --port 8080

# Bind to all network interfaces (allow external access)
claudesavvy --host 0.0.0.0

# Enable debug mode with auto-reload
claudesavvy --debug

# Use custom Claude data directory
claudesavvy --claude-dir /path/to/claude/data

Web Interface

Once the server is running, navigate to:

• http://localhost:5000 - Main dashboard
• http://localhost:5000/tokens - Token usage details
• http://localhost:5000/projects - Project analytics
• http://localhost:5000/files - File operation stats
• http://localhost:5000/integrations - MCP integrations
• http://localhost:5000/features - Tool and feature usage

Data Export

Export your metrics for further analysis:

• CSV Export: http://localhost:5000/export/csv
• JSON Export: http://localhost:5000/export/json

Dashboard Overview

The main dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of all your Claude Code metrics.

Token Usage & Costs

Detailed breakdown of token consumption with cost calculations and cache efficiency.

Features & Tools

Track tool usage, sub-agents, MCP integrations, and installed skills.

Metrics Explained

Usage Metrics

• Total Sessions: Number of unique Claude Code sessions
• Total Commands: Number of commands/queries sent to Claude
• Active Projects: Number of different projects worked on
• Time Range: Filtered time period for displayed metrics

Token Metrics

• Input Tokens: Regular input tokens (non-cached)
• Output Tokens: Tokens in Claude's responses
• Cache Write: Tokens written to prompt cache
• Cache Read: Tokens read from prompt cache (90% cheaper!)
• Cache Efficiency: Percentage of cache reads vs. cache writes

Cost Calculations

Based on Claude Sonnet 4.5 pricing:

• Input: $3.00 per million tokens
• Output: $15.00 per million tokens
• Cache Write: $3.75 per million tokens
• Cache Read: $0.30 per million tokens (90% discount!)

Cache Savings

Shows how much money you've saved through prompt caching. The calculation compares what cache reads would have cost as regular input tokens versus the actual discounted cache read cost. High cache efficiency (>90%) means significant savings!

Data Sources

ClaudeSavvy reads data from your local Claude Code installation at ~/.claude/:

• history.jsonl: Command history and timestamps
• projects/: Session data with detailed token usage
• debug/: MCP server activity logs
• file-history/: File modification tracking
• skills/: Installed skills and configurations
• settings.json: Claude Code settings

Privacy: All data stays on your machine. No external API calls, no data uploaded.

Requirements

• Python: 3.9 or higher
• Claude Code: Must be installed and used at least once
• Dependencies:
  • click>=8.1.0
  • rich>=13.0.0
  • python-dateutil>=2.8.0
  • Flask>=3.0.0
  • Jinja2>=3.1.0

Tips & Best Practices

1. Monitor Cache Efficiency: A high cache efficiency (>90%) means you're saving money through prompt caching. This happens when working on the same project/context repeatedly.

2. Track Costs: Use the Tokens page to monitor your spending. The dashboard shows both gross cost and net cost after cache savings.

3. Analyze Projects: The Projects page helps identify which projects consume the most tokens and cost the most, useful for budgeting.

4. Time Filtering: Use the time period selector to track recent activity and costs, or view all-time statistics.

5. Export Data: Use CSV/JSON export for custom analysis, charting in Excel, or integration with other tools.

6. Performance: The tool uses streaming parsing to handle large session files efficiently, even with extensive Claude Code usage.

Troubleshooting

"FileNotFoundError: ~/.claude/ not found"

• Ensure Claude Code is installed
• Run Claude Code at least once to generate data files

"ImportError: No module named 'flask'"

• Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Or reinstall the package: pip install .

Web server won't start

• Check if port 5000 is already in use
• Try a different port: claudesavvy --port 8080
• Check Python version: python3 --version (requires 3.9+)

Data not showing

• Verify Claude Code has been used recently
• Check ~/.claude/ directory exists and contains data files
• Try restarting the web server

Version History

See CHANGELOG.md for detailed version history.

• v1.0.0 (2025-12-20): Web-only release with production polish
