The official Claude Code web experience is Claude Code on the web. It lets you connect a GitHub repository, submit a coding task, and review the result in a cloud session. It’s an interactive coding workflow—not a production model API or the general-purpose webpage-browsing feature described in some third-party articles. (Anthropic’s cloud-session documentation)
Open Claude Code on the web
- Go to
claude.ai/codeand sign in to an eligible Claude account. - Connect GitHub and choose a repository you’re authorized to use. If Claude can’t access a private repository, you may need to grant access through Anthropic’s GitHub integration or ask your organization’s GitHub administrator. (GitHub integration help)
- Describe a coding task and submit it. The cloud workflow lets you review the resulting changes and pull request. See Anthropic’s cloud quickstart for setup guidance.
Anthropic’s quickstart lists cloud sessions for Pro, Max, Ultra, and Team plans, and for Enterprise users with premium seats or Chat + Claude Code seats. Check the current official quickstart for eligibility details.
Web session or production API?
| If you need to… | Use… |
|---|---|
| Assign a coding task on a GitHub repository and review the result | Claude Code on the web |
| Have your own software send prompts to Claude and use model responses in your product | Claude API |
| Work with a local checkout, local tools, or your own development environment | A local Claude Code workflow |
A Claude Code web session is not an API endpoint to embed in your application. For programmatic model access, start with Anthropic’s API overview and follow its current guidance.
What this does—and does not—mean
Anthropic documents Claude Code across multiple surfaces, including terminal, IDE, desktop, and web. The web route discussed here is Claude Code in the cloud: connect a repository, delegate coding work, and review the result. Don’t confuse it with Claude.ai web search or assume it includes the in-app browser capability described in some third-party articles; those articles do not establish that capability as an official Claude Code feature.

Quick choice: use claude.ai/code for an interactive, repository-based coding task; use the Claude API when your production application needs programmatic model access. For cloud-session setup, see Anthropic’s quickstart and cloud-session documentation.
