Anthropic developing Claude Code web version to rival Codex

What we know so far: Claude code on the web will work quite similarly to Codex, where users will be able to connect their Github repositories and spawn Cloadue Code agents in virtual environments.

Anthropic is preparing a web version of Claude Code, expanding beyond the current workflow tied to desktop or API use. The feature is designed to resemble OpenAI’s Codex on the web, giving developers direct access to a coding agent through a browser interface. The new section will allow GitHub integration, letting users connect repositories, generate tasks, and run them inside isolated environments before finalizing the results. This setup points toward managed sandboxes where Claude Code can execute and test code safely without requiring local setup.

The beneficiaries will be developers and teams who prefer browser-based tools and want faster onboarding without complex configuration. It also positions Claude Code as a competitor to existing cloud IDEs that are increasingly embedding AI copilots. While no release date is confirmed, the pace of development suggests a possible rollout in the coming months.

The addition fits Anthropic’s broader strategy of making Claude not just a conversational model but also a workspace with specialized agents. With GitHub connectivity and automated environments, this version could lower friction for coding projects and align Claude Code with a growing trend of AI-driven, cloud-hosted engineering assistants. If deployed as expected, it would strengthen Anthropic’s offering for both individual developers and enterprise teams looking for integrated AI coding workflows.
