Setup

Get set up on paper

Install paper, log in, and every Claude Code session starts flowing into Paper Cloud. Org and gateway live on the web console — the CLI auto-discovers them.

Set up paper

Install the CLI, log in, and start paper running in the background.

Step 1: Install paper

curl -fsSL https://download.papercompute.com/install | sh

Step 2: Log in

paper login

Opens a browser for WorkOS auth. You don't need an org, but we encourage you to sign in with your work email.

Need to create an organization? Optional

If you're the first person on your team, head to console.papercompute.com to name your org. The console provisions a default gateway and Anthropic backend so the CLI has something to route through.

Invited by someone? Skip this — your org is already set up.

Step 3: Start paper

paper init

`paper init` starts paper running in the background and points it at your org's gateway. No prompts — it auto-discovers everything it needs.

paper start claude

Then `paper start claude` launches Claude Code with the proxy already wired up — no env vars, no shell restart.

Start in console

You're in. What's next?

CLI reference paper CLI docs Status, logs, uninstall, invite — all the commands.
