What Claude-Code does

Anthropic's coding agent. It fetches web pages, such as documentation, when a developer asks it to.

As an autonomous agent, it uses a website like a person would, clicking, typing and filling in forms to finish a task for someone. The kinds of AI agent that visit websites.

Should you allow it?

Make your journeys work for it. Many browser agents look like an ordinary browser, so you can't reliably block them by name; test whether they can finish your key tasks instead. A decision guide for blocking or allowing AI crawlers.

How to allow or block Claude-Code

Claude-Code reads the Claude-Code group in your robots.txt. To block it everywhere:

User-agent: Claude-Code
Disallow: /

To allow it everywhere, even if another rule blocks other bots:

User-agent: Claude-Code
Allow: /

Robots.txt is a request, not a lock: well-behaved crawlers follow it, impostors don't. Robots.txt for AI agents.

How to tell if it's really Claude-Code

Our registry doesn't verify Claude-Code against published IP ranges yet, so treat a request that uses the name as a claim, not proof: anyone can send its user agent. Check Anthropic's documentation for how to verify it.
