Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding agent. You run it from your terminal inside a project, describe what you want in plain language, and it reads the relevant files, edits them, runs commands and tests, and reports back. It is built for multi-step work such as fixing a bug across several files, adding a feature, or refactoring a module.
It can connect to MCP servers, so it can also work with outside tools such as an issue tracker or documentation. Because it acts on your real codebase, it asks for permission before risky actions, and you can review every change before you keep it.
It suits developers who like working in the terminal and want an agent that can take on a whole task rather than suggest single lines.
