Awesome work, Claude is amazingly good at writing code that is pretty much plug and play.

Could you speak at all about potential IDE integrations? An integration into Jetbrains IDEs would be super useful - I imagine being able to highlight a bit of code and having a plugin check the code graph to see dependencies, tests etc that might be affected by a change.

Copying and pasting code constantly is starting to seem a bit primitive.




Part of our vision is that because Claude Code is just in the terminal, you can bring it into any IDE (or server) you want! Obviously that has tradeoffs of not having a full GUI of the IDE though


Anyone know how to get access to it? Notably i'm debating purchasing for Claude Code, but being on NixOS i want to make sure i can install it first.

If this Code preview is only open to subscribers it means i have to subscribe before i can even see if the binary works for me. Hmm

edit: Oh, there's a link to "joining the preview" which points to: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/claude-c...


I much prefer the standalone design to being editor integrated.


Jetbrains have an official mcp plugin


Thanks, I wasn't aware of the Model Context Protocol!

For anyone interested - you can extend Claude's functionality by allowing it to run commands via a local "MCP server" (e.g. make code commits, create files, retrieve third party library code etc).

Then when you're running Claude it asks for permission to run a specific tool inside your usual Claude UI.
