Capture with Conductor

Point Conductor's workspaces at the paperd proxy so every Claude Code session Conductor runs is captured to paper console.

Conductor runs Claude Code across parallel workspaces — and one environment variable routes all of it through paper, so every workspace session is captured to paper console. Prerequisites: paperctl installed and authenticated, with the daemon running, and Conductor installed.

Point Conductor at the proxy

  1. Get your proxy address:

    paperctl status

    The proxy line shows the address — 127.0.0.1:51539 by default. The address is set by daemon configuration and stays the same across restarts, so Conductor’s setting survives them.

  2. In Conductor, open Conductor → Settings from the menu bar.

  3. Select Environment and click Show documented variables.

  4. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to the proxy address with an http:// prefix:

    http://127.0.0.1:51539

  5. Start a new workspace and select an Anthropic model. Sessions appear in paper console from then on.

Verify the capture

paperctl sessions list

Conductor workspace sessions show up alongside your other captured runs. Session titles are editable in the console, so give a Conductor run a readable name if you want one.

The same approach works for any tool that lets you set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: point it at the paperd proxy and its Claude traffic is captured through your organization’s gateway like every other session.

If something’s off

  • No sessions appearing: confirm paperctl status shows the daemon running and the proxy address matches what you entered in Conductor, then restart the workspace.
  • More cases: CLI troubleshooting.

Frequently asked questions

Does paper work with Conductor?+
Yes. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL in Conductor's environment settings to the paperd proxy address (default http://127.0.0.1:51539) and every Claude Code session Conductor runs routes through paper and is captured to paper console.
How do I capture Conductor sessions in paper?+
Run paperctl status to get your proxy address, then in Conductor open Settings, select Environment, click Show documented variables, and set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to http://. New workspaces using an Anthropic model are captured from then on.
