Anthropic extends Claude Code to browsers

Anthropic has launched Claude Code on the web, enabling developers to use the company’s AI coding assistant directly from their browser or smartphone, with no terminal required.

Developers can connect a first GitHub repository to Claude Code on the web at claude.com/code.

Claude Code on the web was launched as a beta research preview for Pro and Max users on October 20. Through Claude Code on the web, developers can assign multiple coding tasks to Claude that run on Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure. Running tasks in the cloud is especially effective for answering questions about how projects work and how repositories are mapped, for routine and well-defined tasks, for bug fixes, and for back-end changes where Claude Code can use test-driven development for change verification, according to Anthropic.

Claude Code on the web lets users start coding sessions without opening their terminal. Each session runs in its own isolated sandbox with network and file restrictions and real-time progress tracking. Git interactions are handled via a secure proxy service. Developers can run tasks in parallel across different repositories from a single interface and ship more quickly with automatic pull request creation and clear change summaries, Anthropic said.

In addition to web browsers, the research preview makes Claude Code available on the Anthropic’s iOS app. The company hopes to quickly refine the mobile experience based on user feedback.
