Ship with Netlify. Claude writes your code. Netlify runs the full stack: frontend experience, backend logic, identity and storage — all previewable and ready the moment you publish. Together, they make your project live with no manual configuration required. ## Choose your workflow Bring Claude to Netlify from your existing setup, or start from scratch inside the Netlify Dashboard. ![](/images/with/claude/clawd-logo.png) Claude Code Bring Netlify into the tools you already use Point Claude Code or any AI agent at netlify.ai to create sites, configure settings, and publish updates on your behalf, all from the tools you already use to build. [Set up Claude Code](https://docs.netlify.com/build/build-with-ai/agent-setup-guides/set-up-claude-code-for-netlify/) ![](/images/with/claude/claude-desktop-icon.png) Claude Desktop Run Netlify project actions from Claude Desktop Use the Netlify Connector for Claude to bring Netlify project actions into Claude Desktop, then follow the walkthrough to see how prompts, code changes, and deploys fit together.

The question is whether those apps are running somewhere you can see, control, and audit — or somewhere you can't. Netlify gives platform and IT teams the controls they need without slowing builders down. [AI development governance guide](/guides/ai-development-governance/) [Talk to sales](/contact/sales/) SSO Integrates with Okta, Azure AD, and any SAML 2.0 provider. Access controls follow your existing systems. SCIM provisioning Automatically provision and deprovision users from your identity provider. Team access stays in sync with your org without manual updates. Role-based access Define who can build, review, and push to production. Non-technical builders get their own lane without touching production infrastructure. Team protection Keep sites internal and private within your org. Control who can access what, without exposing apps to the public. Manage AI spend Set budgets and usage limits on AI model calls across your team. Cost controls that keep projects from running up unexpected bills. Site access controls Restrict access to previews and production by user, role, or team. Password protection and JWT-based rules available out of the box. Audit logs Forward deploy and traffic logs to Datadog, Splunk, or S3. Enterprise plan, enabled in a few clicks from the dashboard. Secret scanning Every deploy checked for exposed credentials before it goes live. ## FAQ Which AI models can I use with Netlify?
