Claude Code
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool for working with a codebase from the terminal, with IDE integrations and support for tool access through MCP.
Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding agent for the terminal. You run it inside a project, ask it to work on the codebase, and it can inspect files, suggest changes, edit code, run commands, and help debug problems.
It is more than autocomplete. The interesting bit is that it can work across a repository rather than only the file open in an editor. Anthropic also provides IDE integrations, so changes can be reviewed in a more familiar diff view when that fits the workflow better.
The same caution applies as with any AI coding assistant: read the diff, run the tests, and keep the task small enough that you can still understand what changed.
