Claude Platform

Anthropic's developer console and API workbench for building enterprise-grade Claude applications

💡 TIP

The Claude Workbench allows you to test system prompts, compare different model tiers, adjust temperature, and inspect exact token usage.

Developer Console Features

•
Claude Workbench — Interactive sandbox to test prompt configurations, inspect token counts, and tune system parameters.
•
Model Selection Spectrum — Toggle between high-intelligence reasoning models for coding, high-throughput models for complex tasks, and fast lightweight tiers.
•
System Prompt Optimization — Craft structured system instructions with XML tags and verify compliance before deployment.

Advanced Use Cases

•
Tool Use & Function Calling — Provide Claude with JSON schemas for external tools, databases, and custom REST API endpoints.
•
Prompt Caching — Save up to 90% on API costs and reduce latency by caching large repetitive reference documents.
•
Evaluation & Testing — Run prompt iterations against test cases to measure quality, consistency, and format fidelity.

Tips & Best Practices

•
Inspect API Requests — Click 'View Code' inside the Workbench to get exact SDK code snippets ready for your codebase.
•
Monitor Rate Limits & Usage — Track token consumption, tier limits, and API latency metrics directly from the platform dashboard.
