Claude Code

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool from Anthropic that runs in the terminal and integrates with your integrated development environment (IDE) to turn natural language instructions into repository-aware edits, test runs, and pull requests.

It’s designed for deep, multi-file changes across large codebases, executing commands in your environment and surfacing diffs for review to support debugging and everyday development. Beyond the terminal, Claude Code is also available as a desktop app (macOS and Windows), a web app at claude.ai/code, and as extensions for VS Code (including forks like Cursor) and JetBrains IDEs. All surfaces share the same underlying engine, so your CLAUDE.md files, settings, and MCP servers work everywhere.
