Claude Code coding agent

Claude Code is a coding agent based on a TUI (Terminal UI) and also features a Visual Studio Code integration.

The integration of Claude Code in Dataiku is done through Code Studios. It can fully integrate with the LLM Mesh, so that all queries performed by Claude Code can go through the LLM Mesh for full control and cost tracing.

Setup (admin)

The capability is provided by the “Claude Code for Code Studios” plugin that you need to install.

Then, you need to define a Code Studio template, adding the “Claude Code” block.

The Claude Code block can either:

  • Route queries through the Dataiku LLM Mesh, allowing you to select which LLM to use.

  • Use your existing Claude subscription to connect directly to Anthropic and pay for usage through your Claude subscription

  • Use the credentials of an Anthropic connection or enter an Anthropic API key.

Usage

Once you have started your Code Studio, you can either:

  • If using VS Code, click the Claude icon in the left bar or the top nav bar

  • In all Code Studios, simply open a terminal and run “claude”

In LLM Mesh mode, you can immediately start working with the Agent

If you use your own Claude subscription, you will need to login first

Recommendations

  • Claude Code requires a tools-aware LLM

  • Claude Code will work much better with frontier models such as Anthropic Claude 4.5 or OpenAI GPT 5. Local models usually offer significantly reduced performance
