Given that a single agent cannot handle large tasks, such as a complex migration, security audit, or bug hunt, especially in legacy codebases, Anthropic introduced “Dynamic Workflows” in Claude Code last week, enabling orchestration scripts that run tens to hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session.
Dynamic workflows, which consume substantially more tokens than a typical Claude Code session, are available in research preview in the Claude Code CLI, Desktop, and the VS code extension for Max, Team, and Enterprise (if admin enabled) plans, as well as on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry.
The company provided this explanation: “Dynamic workflows are built for parallel and long-running work that can extend into hours and days, doing the most complex engineering work that previously would have taken weeks. Progress is saved as the run goes, so a job that’s interrupted picks up where it left off instead of starting over. Because the coordination happens outside the conversation, the plan stays on track no matter how big the task gets.”
On a Max or Team plan, or using Claude Code via the API, dynamic workflows are on by default.
Another May launch mentioned the possibility of Claude Managed Agents operating in self-hosted sandboxes and connecting to private Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
These sandboxes can run on owned infrastructure or with managed providers like Cloudflare, Daytona, Modal, or Vercel.
Self-hosted sandboxes (for keeping sensitive files, packages, and services) are available in public beta on the Claude Platform, and MCP tunnels are in research preview.
