Claude Web

Claude.ai is Anthropic's web-based AI assistant. Its extended thinking mode shows Claude's step-by-step reasoning process before delivering an answer. Artifacts let Claude create documents, code, and visualizations in a side panel. Adding MCP tools means Claude can ground its reasoning in real data from your systems.

Extended Thinking + Real-Time Data

Claude's extended thinking mode shows the reasoning chain before answering. When MCP tools are connected, this chain includes tool calls — you can watch Claude decide what data it needs, fetch it through MCP, interpret the results, and compose an answer. The transparency is unprecedented.

Projects organize conversations with persistent context. Add your MCP server to a project, and every conversation in that project has tool access. Pair this with uploaded documents for a knowledge base that combines static files and live MCP data.

Key features:

  • Extended thinking — visible reasoning chain including MCP tool calls
  • Artifacts — interactive code, documents, and visualizations in a side panel
  • Projects — persistent context with document uploads and shared MCP tools
  • 200K context — long conversations that maintain coherence
  • Multi-modal — image analysis, PDF processing, and data visualization
  • Team workspaces — shared access to tools and conversations for organizations
