Anthropic has announced that Claude Code is coming to the web. Developers can now delegate their coding tasks, push PRs, and "vibe-code" directly from their browsers. The feature is currently in beta as a research preview.
Users can connect Claude Code to their GitHub repositories, describe coding tasks, and have Claude implement changes automatically. Each coding session runs in an isolated sandbox environment with real-time progress tracking. After completing tasks, Claude Code can automatically create pull requests with clear change summaries. Developers could also run multiple sessions in parallel on Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure, which is ideal for managing bug fixes, routine updates, and work simultaneously across multiple repositories.
Beyond coding, Anthropic"s recently released Claude Skills also increases AI capabilities by allowing users to load task-specific markdown (md) files with instructions, scripts, and resources relevant to those tasks.
Not just that, but Anthropic is also bringing Claude Code to smartphones, with its release first on iOS, also in early beta, that will allow developers to explore coding on the go. With this, Claude Code on the web now directly competes with similar AI-driven coding services such as OpenAI"s Codex and platforms like Replit.
Anthropic also highlighted the security aspect of the new feature, as it mentioned that each task operates in an individual sandbox with network and filesystem restrictions, and all Git interactions happen through a secure proxy, ensuring Claude Code can only access authorized repositories. Users could also customize network access to allow necessary internet connections, such as downloading npm packages for test execution.
Claude Code for web is currently available for Pro and Max users in research preview mode at claude.com/code. Cloud-based sessions share rate limits with other Claude Code usage.
