Claude Code gets a Visual Studio extension with safer code review
A new extension brings Claude Code into . VS Code and JetBrains already have official Claude Code , but did not, so this tool fills that gap. After installation, the existing Claude CLI connects automatically, with no extra setup beyond launching the extension.
When Claude changes code, the edits open in ’s built-in so they can be accepted or rejected inside the editor. A rejected change can include a reason, and Claude can use that feedback to try again. The extension also sends C# and C++ and the currently selected code to Claude CLI automatically, so there is less manual copy and paste.
It includes a dockable panel for connection status, tokens, and session cost, plus an option to accept edits automatically. The extension does not call any model by itself; it works through the existing Claude CLI.
