Claude Code connects with 3 apps and APIs across 3 categories (ide, version control, terminal / shell). What each integration enables is below.
VS Code is the most-used IDE among working engineers in 2026. AI agents installed as VS Code extensions get inline access to the file tree, open buffers, and command palette.
GitHub is the dominant code-hosting platform for OSS and most B2B teams. Agents that integrate with GitHub typically have access to repository contents, issues, PRs, and Actions output.
Shell / terminal integration means the agent can run as a CLI process — reading files, executing scripts, opening processes. Highest-autonomy integration: the agent has whatever permissions the shell user has.
All 3 integrations work out of the box on the team tier (or higher). Configure permissions narrowly: only grant write access where the agent needs it.
Claude Code currently integrates with 3 apps and APIs, including Shell, GitHub, VS Code. The full integration list is shown above with what each one enables.
Check Claude Code's vendor documentation for current API status. Most B2B AI agents offer some level of programmatic access on their team or enterprise tiers; the integrations listed above use either a public API or a first-party integration the vendor maintains.
Claude Code connects to GitHub via OAuth — typically scoped to the repositories you authorize. Depending on the agent, this enables reading issues + PRs, opening pull requests, commenting on review threads, and reading CI status. Configure permissions narrowly: only grant write access where the agent needs it.
Claude Code's integration story varies by tier — entry tiers usually expose only the bundled connectors above; team/enterprise tiers often unlock custom integrations via API or webhook. Check the vendor pricing page (linked above) for current integration tier breakdowns.
