Claude Code

Anthropic's agentic CLI that operates directly in your terminal and codebase

About Claude Code

Claude Code is a command-line coding agent by Anthropic that runs in the developer's terminal and has direct access to the filesystem, shell, and git history. It can autonomously read, write, and test code across large codebases, create pull requests, and execute multi-step tasks without leaving the terminal. It connects to MCP servers for extended tool use and supports custom instructions via CLAUDE.md files.
