- Claude Code CLI: Doing interactive development or running one-off tasks from a terminal.The terminal interface, built for daily interactive use.
- -----------------
- Client SDK: Calling the API directly and implementing the tool loop yourself Direct access to the Anthropic API rather than to Claude Code. You implement the tool loop yourself.

Summary
- Anthropic takes Claude Cowork out of preview and straight into the enterprise.
- With new role-based access controls and granular MCP permissions, Anthropic is betting that Cowork can win over enterprise IT teams.
- Anthropic on Thursday took Claude Cowork, its tool for letting non-developers delegate tasks and workflows to a Claude-based agent, out of preview and into general availability.
S2
- It takes the Claude models out of the chat mode of Claude.ai
- and gives it the ability to handle tasks end-to-end,
- including working with text documents and spreadsheets.
- The vast majority of Claude Cowork usage comes from outside engineering teams
- Importantly, functions like operations, marketing, finance, and legal are not handing Claude their core work, but rather the work that surrounds their most critical tasks ? project updates, collaboration decks, research sprints, etc.
Key ideas....
- Cowork sessions run in the cloud by default:
- the agent loop (harness) and code execution run on Anthropic's servers,
- and sessions and files are saved to the member's Claude account.
- Cloud execution is in beta and rolling out gradually across plans.
- Claude cloud execution can reach "designated folder" for local writes and reads via the Claude Desktop...
For the enterprise
- Claude Cowork company-wide:
- role-based access controls for Enterprise, group spend limits,
- expanded OpenTelemetry observability,
- and usage analytics for admins to see Claude Cowork adoption.

Briefly
- This guide walks you through setting up role-based permissions for your Enterprise organization.
- This lets you control which features and connectors specific teams or groups of members can access, and delegate specific admin access like billing or user management, rather than giving everyone the same permissions.
Enterprise features
- Role-based permissions at Enterprise level.
- Which features and connectors specific teams or groups of members can access
- Delegate specific admin access like billing or user management
- Members, Groups, and Roles
- Tier based roles
- Department based roles
- Access to connectors
- Tool permissions
- Skills permissions
- Model access
- Rate limits
- SCIM Integration

Explains....
- Claude Cowork uses the same agentic architecture that powers Claude Code, with no terminal required.
- Instead of responding to prompts one at a time, Claude can take on complex, multi-step tasks and execute them on your behalf.
More....
- With Cowork, you can describe an outcome, step away, and come back to finished work?formatted documents, organized files, synthesized research, and more.
- Cowork runs your sessions remotely in the cloud (in beta), so your sessions and files live with your Claude account and follow you across desktop, web, and mobile.
- Chat and Cowork now share one home, so handing Claude a task starts from the same message box as a conversation.
- With scheduled tasks, Claude can complete work for you automatically.
- With projects, you can organize related tasks into persistent, self-contained workspaces with their own files, links, instructions, and memory.
Where does Claude runs tasks
- Cowork runs your tasks in the cloud (in beta). Claude's work runs on Anthropic's servers, in an isolated environment, and your sessions and files are saved to your Claude account. Work continues if you close your laptop, and you can open the same session from any surface.
- When a task needs something on your computer, like a local file or your browser, Claude reaches it through the Claude Desktop app on that computer. When you start a task in Cowork, Claude:
- Analyzes your request and creates a plan.
- Breaks complex work into subtasks when needed.
- Runs code and shell commands in an isolated environment on Anthropic's servers.
- Coordinates multiple workstreams in parallel if appropriate.
- Delivers finished outputs to your session, where you can preview and download them.
- You maintain visibility into what Claude is planning and doing throughout the process so you can steer when it matters, or let Claude run independently.
An imp security details
- Important: Network egress permissions don't apply to the web fetch or web search tools or MCPs, including Claude in Chrome.
- Web fetch runs server-side and is limited to search results and URLs you've shared.
