New Claude Code features are here:

Microcompact: Clear old tool calls to extend session length
Subagents: @-mention support + model selection for agents
PDF support: Read PDFs directly from your file system Microcompact automatically clears old tool calls to free context when your session gets long.

This means you can work longer before needing a full context compaction, maintaining your most critical project context.

You can now connect to remote MCP servers from Claude Code, letting you customize Claude Code to use your favorite tools.

Pull context from your tools directly into Claude Code without context switching. MCP lets you integrate Claude Code with hundreds of different tools and data sources.

With remote MCP, it’s as easy as pasting in the URL of a server; no local setup or config required.

Since we originally built Claude Code as an internal tool, we've heard a ton of questions about how our teams use it at Anthropic.

Here’s an inside look on how our teams—from product engineering, to growth marketing, to legal—use Claude Code: 1/ Data scientists build production apps

Our Data Science team built a 5,000-line React dashboard for visualizing ML model performance despite knowing "very little JavaScript."

Claude Code created the entire application from scratch.

More new Claude Code features landing this week!

First: multipaste.

You can now paste multiple large chunks (text or images) into one prompt. Next: OpenTelemetry support 📊

We've recently shipped a fresh batch of Claude Code features to improve your workflow! These updates make Claude Code faster, more visual, and easier to control.

Here's what's new: 1/ Improved multimodal support

You can now drag and drop images directly into Claude Code. Great for:

- Debugging UI issues
- Discussing design mockups
- Working with visual assets

Claude Code sees what you see.

It’s been a big week for Claude Code.

We launched 8 exciting new features to help devs build faster and smarter.

Here's a roundup of everything we released: 1/ Extended thinking

Ask Claude Code to “think” to trigger extended thinking, powered by Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Great for larger tasks that require planning, like refactors.

Another batch of features for Claude Code!

Up first: Vim mode. This gives you the familiar insert/command modes for editing your prompts in Claude Code. Turn it on by typing the slash command /vim.

But that's not all: Custom slash commands. You can create personalized workflows that can be invoked anytime as slash commands.

Make them by adding Markdown files to your .claude/commands/ or ~/.claude/commands/ directories. The contents of those files will become new commands.

We've just shipped a new feature in Claude Code: extended thinking. You can simply ask Claude to “think”, “think more”, or “think harder” and it’ll show its extended thinking process.

This is all powered by our hybrid reasoning model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Best practice: First tell Claude about your task and let it gather context from your project. Then, ask it to “think” to create a plan.

Claude will think more based on the words you use. For example, “think hard” will trigger more extended thinking than saying “think” alone.
