# Claude Code

> Agentic command-line tool that navigates, edits, and debugs codebases directly

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding assistant designed to operate right inside your terminal, IDE, or browser. It reads and indexes entire codebases, runs commands, writes tests, and executes multi-step refactors without manual context tagging. It connects directly with existing developer CLI tools, Git, and MCP servers to automate routine engineering workflows.
