[UPDATE 2025-07-08]

Anthropic finally released this capability officially as part of claude code. You can uninstall everything previously installed via the installer with the new uninstaller:

# cd into your repo
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grll/claude-code-action/main/scripts/uninstaller.sh)

Then follow the official instructions to setup the github action from claude code:

claude
/install-github-app     Set up Claude GitHub Actions for a repository
use current repo
│ A Claude workflow file already exists at .github/workflows/claude.yml
│
│ What would you like to do?
│
│ ❯ 1. Update workflow file with latest version   👈

│ > Create a long-lived token with your Claude subscription 👈
│   Enter a new API key 

[ORIGINAL POST]

Hey there,

It's been more than a month that Anthropic released the integration of Claude Code with GitHub action using @claude on Github issues or PRs. Yet as of this time it is still not possible to use it with you Claude Pro / Max subscription unless you pay additionally per tokens for the use of that feature.

Few days after the release of @claude I made my own fork of the github action allowing anyone to use their subscription credentials with @claude. It's been quite successful but we also discovered a few issues with the setup.

Today I am releasing the biggest update of that fork so far. The key improvement that we worked on with the community was the handling of the authentication. We now properly support the full oauth flow from Anthropic independently from your local setup. This means we will refresh the tokens when they are expired (no more manual intervention every 8 hours) and we will not invalidate your local authentication flow.

Furthermore we also released and installer script that make it easier than ever to install @claude on your own repo. It's basically one command to run in your terminal:

# cd into your repo
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grll/claude-code-action/main/scripts/installer.sh)  

What are you waiting to start solving all your GitHub issues, opening and review PRs with Claude Code right from GitHub?

repo: https://github.com/grll/claude-code-action new release article: https://grll.bearblog.dev/major-update-for-pro-max-subscriber-using-claude-github-action/

For those who have them (particularly $1k). I’m curious how are you spending them down? Are you using it in the same way as the cli tool?

Since launching Claude Code on the web, your feedback has been invaluable. We’re temporarily adding free usage so you can push the limits of parallel work and help make Claude even better.

Available for a limited time (until November 18):
• Max users: $1,000 in credits
• Pro users: $250 in credits

These credits are separate from your standard plan limits and expire November 18 at 11:59 PM PT. This is a limited time offer for all existing users and for new users while supplies last.

I work for a company that has some databases with content created by various freelancers since different domains require different experts with their respective area of expertise. One of these databases is moderately sized at 2000 entries with quite a number of interrelated columns. As is to be expected, it's a mess because no two people follow the same standards, and people can be sloppy sometimes in very technically nuanced ways that are hard to catch.

This is where Claude Code Web comes in. Together with the project lead, I created quite technical and nuanced instrucctions for Claude Code to analyze each and every entry in this database and perform a comprehensive fact check using various specialized subagents in parallel. We had already tested and refined the prompts so we knew it did a pretty good job in informing us of factual inaccuracies in the database content. Suddenly, I get 1000$ for free in Claude credits, so I spin up 30+ agents to work in parallel since this task is extremely parallelizable in nature. I'm mildly surprised it let me spin up that many agents. There was a toast message a couple of times that I apparently reached the concurrency limit, but it would just spin up the agents regardless.

I go for dinner, and once I come back I have burned through 500$ and fact-checked a decent chunk of my database and found a bunch of really nuanced factual inaccuracies. Rinse and repeat aaaaaaand it's gone. I burned through 1000$ of Claude Code Web credits in one evening.

But let's be real for a moment. Please don't burn tokens just because you can. Don't compete on token leaderboards and stuff like that. I did this specifically because

• It is a very nuanced workflow that had been previously tested a lot and we knew from experience that it could reliably be highly parallelized since the individual database entriers are independent. It took me a few initial runs to adjust some minor things to the Claude Code Web environment but then it ran just as smoothly as in my terminal.

• Facts for the database entries can be easily checked with web searches, but usually require checking various sources and aggregating a lot of information. Claude Code usually performs something between 10 and 30 web searches to verify all the factual claims in one entry, which is the bulk of the cost. Analyzing 100 entries takes about 2000 web searches plus a bunch of additional work.

• It actually provides significant value because the database that contains client-facing information now can be turned into something more professional and detailed with much less effort because our domain expert can just evaluate Claude's detailed reports on issues and double check the various sources and links it has provided. The actual value are literally hundreds of hours of work saved.

So, the question is: will I keep using Claude Code Web with my Claude Max subscription going forward? Yes, but only occasionally for now. I still prefer the terminal for more complex things and the fact that it spins up a new environment every time comes with some drawbacks. But I think it is quite decent for long-running established or simple workflows that you can just kick off and then forget about. For these it can be nice to just kick them off and be able to close my laptop. The only other application I honestly see is coding from my phone, which I don't expect I will be doing a lot but I think occasionally it will be helpful.

TL;DR: I gave Claude Code Web a highly parallelizable fact-checking task that requires a lot of web searches from different sources. Used the 1000$ free credits to do in an evening what would have required hundreds of hours of human work.

This week we shipped Claude Code 2.0.36 with Claude Code on the Web enhancements, un-deprecated output styles based on community feedback, and improved command handling. We also extended free credits for Claude Code on the Web until November 18th and fixed several critical bugs around message queuing, MCP OAuth connections, and large file handling.

Features:

• Claude Code on the Web now includes free credits until November 18th ($250 for Pro, $1000 for Max)

• Diffs with syntax highlighting now available in Claude Code on the Web

• Skills now work in Claude Code on the Web

• Un-deprecated output styles based on community feedback

• Added companyAnnouncements setting for displaying announcements on startup

• Increased usage of AskUserQuestion Tool outside of Plan Mode

• Improved fuzzy search results when searching commands

• Long running (5m) bash commands no longer cause Claude to stall on the web

Bug fixes:

• Fixed queued messages being incorrectly executed as bash commands

• Fixed input being lost when typing while a queued message is processed

• Fixed claude mcp serve exposing tools with incompatible outputSchemas

• Fixed menu navigation getting stuck on items

• Fixed infinite token refresh loop that caused MCP servers with OAuth (e.g., Slack) to hang during connection

• Fixed memory crash when reading or writing large files (especially base64-encoded images)
