Anthropic blocks third-party use of Claude Code subscriptions
Anthropic began enforcing its terms against third-party clients using Claude Code subscriptions, forcing alternative harnesses like opencode to rework authentication (its issue thread became the debate's ground zero). A defining platform-risk moment for the open-harness ecosystem: the model provider owns the login, the harness does not.
Claude Code hits GA; Anthropic hosts 'Code with Claude'
Anthropic makes Claude Code generally available and holds its first developer conference — with Claude Code for web, enterprise features, and hooks/MCP improvements central to agent workflows.
Anthropic moves MCP toward open foundation governance
Anthropic announces plans to donate MCP to a neutral foundation, with new registry, auth and sandbox specs — cementing MCP as vendor-neutral infrastructure for the entire agent ecosystem.
Anthropic launches the Claude Agent SDK
Anthropic open-sources the SDK behind Claude Code — the agent loop, tool use, subagents, memory and hooks — letting developers build their own Claude-powered agents on production rails.
