Meet Claude Code

Anthropic has rolled out Claude Code on the Web, a new way to delegate coding tasks directly from your browser. The feature is currently available in beta as a research preview for Pro and Max users, aiming to make everyday coding easier, faster, and more collaborative.

A Smarter Way to Code

With this feature, developers no longer need to open their terminals to start coding sessions. You can now connect GitHub repositories, describe the task, and let Claude handle the implementation.

Each coding task runs in its own isolated cloud environment, complete with real-time progress tracking. Developers can guide Claude as it works, making it a flexible partner for debugging, feature updates, or even backend changes.

Run Multiple Tasks in Parallel

Claude Code introduces parallel coding sessions, letting users work across several repositories at once. This is ideal for teams tackling bug backlogs or running multiple feature fixes simultaneously.

When tasks finish, Claude automatically generates pull requests (PRs) with summaries of the changes, helping teams review and ship code faster.

Fits Seamlessly Into Developer Workflows

The web version complements existing Claude Code setups, including the terminal-based version. Developers can start tasks on the web and switch them to local execution later using a simple command.

It also supports mobile workflows through the Claude iOS app, allowing users to start or monitor coding tasks while away from their computers.

Built with Security at Its Core

Anthropic has designed Claude Code with strict security measures. Each coding task runs inside an isolated sandbox with limited network access. GitHub operations are handled through a secure proxy, ensuring Claude can only access authorized repositories.

Developers can even configure custom network access settings, choosing which domains Claude can connect to. This control allows safe installations of dependencies, like npm packages, without exposing sensitive data.

A Universal Environment for Every Developer

The platform uses a universal environment image that supports popular languages including Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, and C++. Each environment includes pre-installed build tools, package managers, and testing frameworks—so developers can begin coding immediately without setup delays.

To make sessions even smoother, Claude Code supports SessionStart hooks. These automatically install dependencies or run custom setup scripts, creating a personalized and consistent environment for every project.

Getting Started Is Simple

Pro and Max users can get started today by visiting claude.ai/code. Once connected to GitHub, users can submit coding tasks, monitor progress, and review results—all from a single interface.

Anthropic plans to extend Claude Code on the Web to Team and Enterprise users soon, expanding access to larger developer groups.

With this update, Claude Code continues Anthropic’s mission to make AI a reliable partner for developers—one that works securely, efficiently, and right from the browser.
