# CLIENT_ALREADY_CLAIMED

**What it means.** The client has already claimed this app, so it is theirs.

**What to do.** Nothing to do: it stays in your list as a client's app, and you can go on building it unless the client takes you off it. Changes to who owns it are now the client's to make.

- HTTP status: 409
- Retryable after applying the fix: no

Every failure from the CLI or an MCP tool has this shape:

```json
{
  "ok": false,
  "code": "CLIENT_ALREADY_CLAIMED",
  "message": "The client has already claimed this app, so it is theirs.",
  "fix": "Nothing to do: it stays in your list as a client's app, and you can go on building it unless the client takes you off it. Changes to who owns it are now the client's to make.",
  "file": "<where to edit, when known>",
  "retryable": false,
  "docs": "https://docs.uarpie.app/errors/CLIENT_ALREADY_CLAIMED"
}
```

Apply `fix` (edit `file` when it is given), then run the same command again.
