Claude Code is Anthropic’s official CLI for coding with Claude. Explore skills, MCP servers, frameworks, and tools built for the Claude Code ecosystem.
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeRequires Node.js 18+. Works on macOS, Linux, and WSL.
cd your-project && claudeOpens an interactive session. Claude reads your codebase and helps you code.
Add skills (custom slash commands), MCP servers (external tools), hooks (lifecycle events), and agents for complex tasks.
One command. Takes about 30 seconds.
Check if you have Node.js
node --versionYou need v18 or higher. If you see a number like v20.11.0, you're good. If you get "command not found", go to nodejs.org and install it first.
