# Claude Code adds a built-in browser for AI to use websites

*2026-07-12 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/claude-code-now-has-a-built-in-browser-that-lets-the-ai-read-click-and-type-on-external-websites/)*

Claude Code now includes a built-in browser that lets Claude open, read, click, and type on external web pages directly inside the development environment. Write actions on external sites are screened by classifiers, and purchases or account creation require explicit user approval.

**Why it matters:** Extends Claude Code's agentic reach from local dev environments to live websites, with guardrails on risky actions.

**Topics:** agents
