Learn about Claude Code, Anthropic’s agentic coding tool that works seamlessly in your terminal, IDE, desktop app, and browser. This innovative tool helps you turn ideas into code faster than ever before.



Claude Code runs in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, as a desktop app, on the web, and in Slack. You can see all platforms below.


What Claude Code Does for You


Claude Code offers a range of features designed to streamline your coding process:


  • Build Features from Descriptions: Simply tell Claude what you want to build in plain English. It will create a plan, write the code, and ensure it works.

  • Debug and Fix Issues: Describe a bug or paste an error message. Claude Code will analyze your codebase, identify the problem, and implement a fix.


  • Navigate Any Codebase: Ask anything about your team’s codebase and receive thoughtful answers. Claude Code maintains awareness of your entire project structure and can find up-to-date information from the web. With MCP, it can pull from external data sources like Google Drive, Figma, and Slack.


  • Automate Tedious Tasks: Claude Code can fix fiddly lint issues, resolve merge conflicts, and write release notes. You can do all this in a single command from your developer machines or automatically in CI.


Why Developers Love Claude Code


Developers appreciate Claude Code for several reasons:


  • Meets You Where You Work: Use Claude Code in your terminal, IDE, or as a standalone desktop app. It integrates with the tools you already use.


  • Takes Action: Claude Code can directly edit files, run commands, and create commits. Need more? MCP lets Claude read your design docs in Google Drive, update your tickets in Jira, or use your custom developer tooling.


  • Unix Philosophy: Claude Code is composable and scriptable. For example, tail -f app.log | claude -p "Slack me if you see any anomalies appear in this log stream" works seamlessly. Your CI can run claude -p "If there are new text strings, translate them into French and raise a PR for @lang-fr-team to review."


  • Enterprise-Ready: Use the Claude API or host on AWS or GCP. Enterprise-grade security, privacy, and compliance are built-in.


Use Claude Code Everywhere


Claude Code works across your development environment: in your terminal, IDE, cloud, and Slack.


  • Terminal (CLI): This is the core Claude Code experience. Run claude in any terminal to start coding.


  • Claude Code on the Web: Use Claude Code from your browser at claude.ai/code or the Claude iOS app, with no local setup required. You can run tasks in parallel, work on repos you don’t have locally, and review changes in a built-in diff view.


  • Desktop App: A standalone application with diff review, parallel sessions via git worktrees, and the ability to launch cloud sessions.


  • VS Code: A native extension with inline diffs, @-mentions, and plan review.


  • JetBrains IDEs: A plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, and other JetBrains IDEs with IDE diff viewing and context sharing.


  • GitHub Actions: Automate code review, issue triage, and other workflows in CI/CD with @claude mentions.


  • GitLab CI/CD: Event-driven automation for GitLab merge requests and issues.


  • Slack: Mention Claude in Slack to route coding tasks to Claude Code on the web and get PRs back.


  • Chrome: Connect Claude Code to your browser for live debugging, design verification, and web app testing.
