About Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding agent for building, debugging and shipping software across the terminal, IDEs, web, desktop, mobile, GitHub and collaborative channels. It can inspect repositories, edit files, run commands and tests, use CLI tools or MCP servers and manage parallel sessions for engineering work. The multi-surface workflow now extends beyond its terminal origins, but usage depends on subscription or API limits, and generated changes still need review, testing, security checks and deployment controls.
