Anthropic’s coding agent for the terminal, IDE, desktop, Slack, and the web.

Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding product. It reads a repository, edits files, runs commands, and opens pull requests from the terminal, VS Code or JetBrains, the Claude desktop app, the browser, mobile, GitHub, and Slack. Anthropic includes it on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise seats, and it can run on Amazon Bedrock or Google Cloud Vertex AI for enterprise customers. In September 2026 Anthropic said Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 work with Claude Code, and that Enterprise Frontier Safeguards will cover Claude Code when that program rolls out.
