# Bring your Claude Code setup over (/how-to/bring-your-claude-code-setup)



Most of a Claude Code setup works in Jinion as it is. Memory is the one thing to bring in by hand.

## Your login [#your-login]

Jinion uses the Claude login already on your machine, as its `default` account. If you're signed in to Claude Code,
there is nothing to do. To add a second login, see [Use a work and a personal account](/how-to/use-two-accounts).

## Skills and plugins [#skills-and-plugins]

These come in on their own:

* your skills in `~/.claude/skills`, and the project's in `.claude/skills`;
* the plugins you turned on in Claude Code, with their skills, commands, agents and MCP servers. Their hooks stay off.

Type `$` to see them. A skill you used to run as `/review` is now `$review`; typing `/review` out of habit puts
`$review` in the prompt. See [Use skills and MCP servers](/skills-and-mcp).

## MCP servers [#mcp-servers]

Servers in `~/.claude.json` and your claude.ai connectors connect as they do in Claude Code. Servers in a project's
`.mcp.json` stay off until you turn them on:

```text
/mcp
```

Move to the server, press `space` to turn it on and `enter` to save.

## Project instructions [#project-instructions]

A `CLAUDE.md` at the root of the project is read as it is, next to an `AGENTS.md` if there is one. See
[Write project instructions](/project-instructions).

## Memory [#memory]

Bring in what Claude Code collected:

```text
/memory import
```

Jinion says `Imported 12 notes from Claude Code. The agent sees them from the next conversation on.` This brings in
Claude Code's memory notes for this project, your `~/.claude/rules` and your `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. Run it in each
project whose notes you want. Running it again adds nothing twice. See [Use memory](/memory).

## What stays behind [#what-stays-behind]

* Claude Code's settings, with its permission rules and hooks. Jinion asks again, and "don't ask again" saves the rule
  in Jinion. See [Choose a permission mode](/permission-modes).
* Claude Code's conversations. `/resume` lists the conversations you had in Jinion.
