Claude Code Gets a Built-In Browser & a Smarter /doctor

Claude Code Gets a Built-In Browser & a Smarter /doctor — visual for 2026-07-10

🧭 Claude Code on Desktop Gets a Built-In, Sandboxed Browser

Claude Code on desktop now has a built-in browser, letting Claude pull up documentation, designs, or any external site, and read, click through, and interact with the page — the same way it already handles local dev-server previews. This closes a real gap: previously, anything requiring live interaction with an external site meant either a separate manual step or a computer-use integration outside the core Claude Code environment.

Safety design

Where this earns its keep immediately

Any workflow that involves checking a live API's current documentation, verifying a deployed page renders correctly, or cross-referencing an external spec while coding no longer requires switching out of Claude Code entirely. Worth trying on the next task where you'd normally alt-tab to a browser mid-session.

🧭 /doctor Becomes a Full Fix-It Setup Checkup

The same release upgrades /doctor from a diagnostic-only command into a proper fix-it checkup — identifying setup problems and, where possible, resolving them directly rather than just reporting what's wrong. The release bundles several smaller improvements too: support for Anthropic-operated public gateway endpoints, a confirmation prompt before entering git worktrees, background-agent auto-updates, an enhanced agent view with colour-coded state words and classifier-written headlines, and more memory-efficient binary download streaming.

Run /doctor after any environment change

With /doctor now able to fix problems it finds rather than just flag them, it's worth making a habit of running it after any local environment change — a Node upgrade, a new shell config, a fresh clone on a new machine — rather than only reaching for it once something visibly breaks.
