Anthropic has brought its AI coding assistant to the web, making Claude Code accessible to anyone with a browser. The new web app lets users spin up coding agents that can read, write, and reason about entire projects—without touching a terminal. It’s a strategic push to broaden access and go head-to-head with leaders like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and OpenAI’s code tools.
At the heart of the experience is repo-scale context. Claude Code can analyze project structure, understand dependencies, and carry out multi-file refactors, migrations, and deep debugging. Rather than focusing on single snippets, it works across your codebase, helping teams tackle complex tasks that typically demand hours of setup and context transfer.
The web app also supports agentic workflows via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling integrations with tools like Git, Jira, and Figma. In practice, that means an agent can read a ticket, propose a plan, create a branch, modify files, and draft a pull request—while you review and guide each step in real time. You can pause, redirect, or approve actions as the agent moves from planning to execution.
Security and governance features are built in for serious environments. Sessions run in configurable sandboxes with strict network controls, scoped credentials, and secrets management. For organizations with rigorous compliance needs, Anthropic offers enterprise deployment options and controls designed to align with internal policies and regulated workflows.
Under the hood, Claude Code is powered by Anthropic’s latest models—optimized for reasoning-intensive tasks like debugging, code generation, test authoring, and large-scale transformations. The system is designed to retain project context across longer sessions, improving reliability as it tackles multi-step changes and complex dependency chains.
Availability is rolling out on claude.ai under a new Code tab for paid users. Individual developers can get started on the Pro plan, while heavier usage and larger teams can opt for higher-tier Max plans with expanded session capacity. The experience is designed for desktop and mobile, letting you kick off or continue work from wherever you are.
Use cases span from everyday coding and test creation to large refactors, framework upgrades, and documentation sweeps. It’s equally useful for product managers and non-developers who need working prototypes, scripts, or automation without a local environment. By lowering setup friction, the web app shortens the path from idea to pull request.
Anthropic notes that Claude Code is already embedded in its own engineering workflows, crediting it with major productivity gains. With a browser-native interface, enterprise-ready controls, and agentic automation, the launch signals an acceleration toward AI-assisted software development where teams steer—and agents execute—repeatable, high-impact coding work.
