Is Claude Code safe for work?

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that runs in the terminal and acts across your repo and connected MCP servers. Here is where it shows up, and how to see and govern it across your team.

What it is
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that runs in the terminal and acts across your repo and connected MCP servers.
Where it shows up
In the terminal and the IDE, as a CLI tool and an MCP client, and sometimes the browser.
The data risk
Coding agents read your source, secrets, and internal architecture, and can call tools like Stripe, GitHub, and the filesystem through MCP.
