Presented by Philip Langer. This session was recorded during TheiaCon, held on 29-30 October 2025 online. Claude Code is one of today's most powerful coding agents. It combines Anthropic's advanced language models with powerful tools for editing, globbing, and automation, but until now, it has lived primarily in the terminal. While this works for many workflows, developers increasingly expect AI coding agents to be native, interactive parts of their IDEs. In this talk, we show how we turned Claude Code into a fully integrated IDE experience in Theia, going far beyond a simple terminal wrapper. You'll see how Claude Code becomes: IDE-aware with real-time context on files and projects Visually interactive with clickable links, actions, and visual diff editors Seamlessly connected through drag-and-drop context sharing and in-editor AI conversations ... and more, going far beyond what's possible with VS Code extensions. Finally, for Theia adopters and tool builders, this talk goes beyond Claude Code in Theia IDE. We'll dive into details on how this integration has been developed and how Theia's open architecture enables tool builders to integrate any external AI agent into modern, customizable, and domain-specific tool environments with ease.
