Hello everyone, I'm R哥.

Following up on "Maximize Claude Code: 16 Practical Tips (Advanced Techniques, Worth Bookmarking!)", I'm continuing to share advanced Claude Code techniques.

PS: (Content is valuable - recommend bookmarking for later reference~ Follow the public account to stay on track~)

17. Enter Bash Mode

Previous sharing covered how to use Claude Code to interact with Git/Linux, but that consumes your tokens. For simple commands, you can directly enter Bash mode.

Usage: Use ! before commands:

In Bash mode, commands are executed directly without large model thinking, so it's fast and free.

18. Auto-Accept Edits

In Claude Code, you can press Shift + Tab to toggle "auto-accept edits" functionality (auto-accept edits on):

After enabling this feature, Claude Code will automatically create and edit files without requiring manual confirmation each time.

Compared to the previously shared --dangerously-skip-permissions mode, the auto-accept edits feature is safer. First, it's not global, and the auto-approval scope is limited to file editing only.

19. Use Plan Mode

In Claude Code, you can press Shift + Tab to toggle "plan mode" functionality (plan mode on):

This mode is useful when you need to plan features in the early stages of a project. It will automatically provide a planning solution, then ask at the bottom whether you want to execute it:

If you click the first option "Yes, and auto-accept edits", it will enter "auto-accept edits" mode and complete all previously planned features according to the todo list.

Pressing Shift + Tab allows you to switch between normal mode, auto-accept edits, and plan mode.

20. Use MCP for Efficiency

Claude Code supports the MCP protocol and various addition methods.

Adding MCP Servers

For adding MCP stdio servers:

# Basic syntax
claude mcp add <name> <command> [args...]

# JSON method
claude mcp add-json <name> '<json>'

For example, let me add a browser automation MCP server:

https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers-archived/tree/main/src/puppeteer

General addition method:

claude mcp add puppeteer npx -- -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer

Adding via JSON method:

claude mcp add-json -s user puppeteer '{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer"]
}'

Using the -s user flag adds the MCP server to global configuration (viewable in the ~/.claude.json file) rather than just for a specific project. Default without filling is local for the current project.

Managing MCP Servers

Use the following commands to manage MCP servers:

# List all configured MCP servers
claude mcp list

# Get information about a specific MCP server
claude mcp get xx

# Remove a specific MCP server
claude mcp remove xx

List all configured MCP servers:

Get information about a specific MCP server:

Use the /mcp command to view MCP server-related information:

Using MCP Servers

Open the user search page, search by ID 6 and return the found user information

Open the user search page, search by username "sam" and return the found user information

Using this MCP tool, it automatically installs the test Chrome browser for Puppeteer, then automatically fills parameters, queries automatically, takes screenshots automatically, and returns search results.

Recommended MCP Servers

Besides the Puppeteer browser automation MCP used above, here's another powerful free MCP tool - context7:

https://context7.com/
https://github.com/upstash/context7

It can provide the latest (or specific version) documentation, libraries, code, information for large models and AI code editors, avoiding outdated data. So far, the official website has collected 20k+ libraries and supports manually adding your own libraries.

Import into Claude Code:

claude mcp add-json -s user context7 '{ "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp"] }'

Let's test it:

How is userMapper.selectOne implemented? What data structure does it return? Please use context7

As shown, it will tell you to use Context7 related tools to get the latest MyBatis-Plus documentation to answer questions.

21. Use Previous Messages

Double-press ESC to jump to previous messages:

Use up/down arrow keys to select a message, then return to the corresponding prompt command window, where you can also re-edit the prompt based on it.

22. Rollback Code

Simply send "rollback":

This is similar to Cursor's checkpoint functionality. If you don't want to rollback anymore, send "undo" again:

Additionally, it's recommended to use Git version control management to prevent code loss.

23. Version Updates

After installing Claude Code, you can manually upgrade to the latest version:

sudo npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

This is actually the same as the installation command - upgrade promptly to use the latest features.

Check if upgrade was successful:

claude --version

Successful installation will display the latest version number.

Well, that's it for this sharing session~

These are my efficient techniques and pitfall-avoidance insights from actual Claude Code programming practice - truly unreserved practical summaries.

AI won't eliminate programmers, but those who can't use AI will be eliminated. Only programmers who can use AI have a future!
