I get the "Why Claude Code", just not the "Why a REST API". It doesn't seem to solve a problem at all.<p>Check the "Who It's For"<p>> Solo founders who use Claude Code daily and want to use it in toolchains<p>I can do that just fine without a REST API<p>> Backend developers adding AI capabilities to services and APIs<p>You can interact with Claude Code just fine. In fact I wouldn't use CC here since I want control over how it's ran, and CLAUDE.md just doesn't have that power.<p>> AI tinkerers building agentic workflows, automation, and experiments<p>Ditto.<p>> Data engineers who need structured, typed LLM output in pipelines<p>This has nothing to do with the REST part. I don't see how this is better than just an SDK with structured output.<p>> Platform teams exposing Claude Code to internal services<p>I guess I see the appeal a bit here, but anthropic has a platform that can handle agents for you, and this seems like a better fit than a clunky REST API between a CLI tool.
