Answer

Should I use Claude Projects or Display?

Use Display when Cursor, Codex or ChatGPT need the same files as Claude, or readers are outside your organization or on personal Claude plans. Keep Claude Projects when the work is chats with Claude and everyone who needs the project is in one Claude Team or Enterprise organization. Anthropic documents project sharing for Team and Enterprise only. You can use both: keep your chats in Claude and add the Display connector.

Claude Projects and Display compared on sharing, agents and price

A Claude project gives Claude the context for its chats. Display holds the files, so that every agent and every person you choose can open them.

One place for the files every agent needs

Ana keeps the specs in a Claude project. Maya's notes sit in Cursor. Priya's research is in ChatGPT. Display holds the files in one place that each agent searches and updates.

One flat price, not a Claude seat for every reader

Everyone in a shared Claude project has a paid seat in your Claude Team or Enterprise organization. On Display, Viewers and Commenters are free, and the price stays the same as the team grows.

Open to every agent and everyone you work with

“Open” means three things you can check today.

Reads and updates from
  1. 01

    Any agent finds the files

    Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT or any other agent searches and reads your Spaces through MCP, the CLI or the API. Search covers HTML, Markdown, code, PDF and Office files, and returns only what that person can open.

  2. 02

    Each update keeps the same URL

    An agent creates a file or updates one at the same URL. Each version shows who published it. On Solo and higher plans you can open earlier versions, and you can download the source at any time.

  3. 03

    Anyone you choose opens it

    Invite clients and contractors by email to a doc or a folder, with a role. They sign in with a one-time password and need no seat and no Claude account.

Edit any document in-line.

Fix any line right where you read it.

A Q3 delivery report is open on Display, with 89.7% in its On-time rate tile. Someone selects Edit in the header, changes the tile to 94.4% on the page, and selects Save changes. The report reopens as version 4 at the same URL.

Share project files with clients, contractors and your team

A doc stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it – one doc, a folder or a whole Space.

  1. Private by default

    Every doc stays private until you share it with people and groups.

  2. Invite people outside your company

    Invite clients and contractors by email to a doc or a folder. Each one gets a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor.

  3. Shared Spaces for the team

    On Team and higher plans, a Shared Space holds the folders that your colleagues and their agents use. Folders start on Solo.

  4. Search follows access

    People and agents find only the files that they can open.

Questions about Display and Claude Projects

Can people outside our company open the files?

Yes. Invite them by email to a doc or a folder, and give them a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. To read, they enter a one-time password and need no Display account and no Claude account. To comment or edit, they sign in to a Display account. They do not join your organization.

Can Claude still use the files in Display?

Yes. Display is listed in Claude's connector directory, and Claude Code connects through the Display MCP server or the CLI. Claude does not load Display files into a chat by itself. Ask it to search or read a file, and it gets the current version.

Does Display replace the chats in a Claude project?

No. Display has no chat, no project instructions and no project memory. It holds the files: your docs and the results that your agents produce. Keep your chats in Claude, and keep the files in Display where other agents and other people can open them.

Which plan do I need?

Free has one Editor, 3 gated documents and 50 MB, without folders or version history. Solo adds folders, version history and Google and Microsoft sign-in for $9 a month, billed yearly. Shared Spaces are on Team: $59 a month billed yearly, or $79 billed monthly, for up to 150 Editors and Contributors. Viewers and Commenters are free on every plan.

Does Display use my content to train AI models?

No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model.

How do I move project knowledge to Display?

Upload your original files. On Solo and higher plans, Import ZIP adds a whole folder tree at one time. Anthropic documents no export of project knowledge, so start from the files that you added to the project.

Which agents work with Display?

Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Claude and ChatGPT. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same doc.

What can I keep in Display?

HTML and Markdown files open as pages: reports, dashboards, specs, prototypes and slides. Folders also store other files, for example images, PDFs and data files, so people and agents find everything in one place.

Is Display open source?

No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can read and update the files. Anyone you choose can open a doc without a seat. You can download the source file of any doc at any time.

Does Display sync with GitHub?

Not yet. Folders that sync from a GitHub repository are planned. Today, your agent publishes files from a repository with the CLI, and each update keeps the same URL.

What about the new version of Claude Projects?

Anthropic's docs describe a new version of Projects in beta, with a coordinating conversation, parallel cloud threads and a Library of files. The docs say that a project belongs to one user and cannot be shared during the beta, and that it is not on Team or Enterprise plans yet. We checked this on 11 November 2026.

Give every agent the same files

Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that connects through MCP, the CLI or the API.
