TL;DR: Anthropic has launched Claude Code on the web, a browser-based way to delegate coding tasks directly to Claude, now in beta.
What’s new: Developers can now run Claude Code sessions entirely in the browser, with cloud-based parallel task execution and real-time control.
Technical details:
Claude Code on the web lets developers offload coding work such as bug fixes, small features, or test-driven backend changes without leaving their browser. By connecting GitHub repositories, users can describe tasks in plain English and Claude handles the implementation, testing, and pull request creation automatically.
Each coding task runs in its own isolated environment on Anthropic-managed infrastructure with real-time progress tracking and interactive steering. Multiple sessions can run in parallel across repositories, allowing teams to tackle large backlogs or repetitive work faster. The platform also extends to mobile with an early preview in the Claude iOS app that lets developers manage and review code sessions on the go.
Security is central to the setup. Every session runs in a restricted sandbox with limited network and filesystem access. Git interactions are routed through a secure proxy to ensure Claude only touches authorized repositories. Developers can also customize network permissions, such as allowing npm downloads for running tests, while maintaining isolation and data protection.
Practical impact:
Claude Code on the web gives developers a flexible way to delegate coding work without setting up local environments. It is particularly useful for teams managing multiple projects, routine maintenance, or parallel development tasks. Combined with Claude’s test-driven approach and secure execution, it makes AI-assisted coding feel more like supervised delegation than simple automation.
Availability:
Claude Code on the web is available now as a research preview for Pro and Max users at claude.com/code. The preview shares rate limits with other Claude Code tools, and user feedback will guide future improvements.
Our take:
By bringing the coding tool to the browser, like OpenAI has done with Codex, Anthropic turns Claude into a truly cloud-based development assistant that helps teams work faster and more efficiently.
