Anthropic demonstrated 'Claude Code Remote' using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling Claude to program in a remote VS Code environment.
- This capability allows Claude to operate directly within a developer's chosen IDE, such as VS Code, to write, edit, and debug code.
- The integration utilizes MCP to establish a secure, structured communication channel between Claude and the remote development environment.
- It highlights MCP's role in allowing AI assistants to access and manipulate external tools and complex UIs beyond simple API calls.
- The demonstration involved Claude writing and deploying a simple Flask application, showcasing the agent's ability to navigate filesystem, edit code, and interact with terminals in a live coding session.
