Anthropic's Claude Code integrates with VS Code via official extension and CLI

Developers can now integrate Anthropic's Claude Code directly into their Visual Studio Code environment through an official extension and a command-line interface (CLI). The setup requires VS Code version 1.98.0 or later and a paid Claude account, such as Claude Pro or Max, or Console credits, as there is no free tier for Claude Code. The guide details installing the extension from the VS Code Marketplace, signing in via browser authentication, and optionally setting up the CLI for additional commands and integrated terminal functionality.
