How to use it with AI

How Claude connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

PlatformMCP / connectorAPI (agent-written code)BrowserUpload / export
Claude (incl. Claude Code) No documented route Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; Claude publishes an API. Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗ Confirmed Claude Code with the Claude in Chrome extension (Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers) Claude (incl. Claude Code) browser docs ↗ Confirmed Export from Claude, then works on the files in your project; chat accepts attachments Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗
OpenAI Codex No documented route Confirmed OpenAI Codex can run code; Claude publishes an API. OpenAI Codex docs ↗ Confirmed Only in the ChatGPT desktop app; not in the Codex CLI or IDE extension OpenAI Codex browser docs ↗ Confirmed Export from Claude, then works on local repositories OpenAI Codex docs ↗
Google Antigravity No documented route Confirmed Google Antigravity can run code; Claude publishes an API. Google Antigravity docs ↗ Confirmed Browser subagent via /browser, documented as an Antigravity App feature; the IDE has separate browser docs Google Antigravity browser docs ↗ Confirmed Export from Claude, then works on local projects and worktrees Google Antigravity docs ↗

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
