Claude Code

An AI coding agent from Anthropic that works in a developer's terminal or editor: given a task, it reads the project's files, edits code, and runs commands and tests.

What Claude Code is

Written from its maker's own pages, read on 13 October 2026.

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool made by Anthropic, built on its Claude models. Agentic means that the program does not only suggest code: it reads the project, edits files and runs commands itself until a task is done.

The developer describes a task in plain language, such as a bug fix or a migration. Claude Code reads the codebase, makes a plan, asks clarifying questions, edits files across the project, runs tests and opens pull requests. It asks for permission before it changes files or runs commands. It runs as a command-line tool in the terminal on macOS, Linux and Windows, as extensions for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, in a desktop app, on the web, on mobile and in Slack. In the terminal it runs on the developer's machine and talks directly to the model APIs. It also uses command-line tools such as Git, and MCP servers (Model Context Protocol, a standard for connecting AI models to tools).

Claude Code is included in the Claude subscriptions Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. With a Claude Console account it is instead billed per API token at standard API prices.
