Claude Code Agency Philadelphia
The Claude Code-first software agency for Philadelphia teams. Philly's pharma corridor, Comcast HQ and University City's research-and-tech scene are deep on Copilot — frontier-model muscle is what they want next. We ship MVPs, agents, MCP servers and migrations on the Opus 4.7 frontier model. Led by Rye Smith, Claude Ambassador for Australia.

Six things we ship with Claude Code
Not a generalist agency. Every engagement is built around Claude Code and the Opus 4.7 frontier model — that's the whole point.
Claude Code MVP builds
We ship working products in weeks, not quarters. Claude Code in the driver's seat, our senior engineers in the loop. Typical first cut in 2–4 weeks.
Claude Code adoption
We embed in your team, set up Claude Code with the agents, slash commands, MCP servers and CLAUDE.md your codebase needs — and leave you with a dev org that ships faster.
MCP server development
Custom Model Context Protocol servers that plug your internal data, APIs and tools into Claude Code and the Claude apps. The infrastructure layer of the frontier era.
Agent SDK builds
Production agents on the Claude Agent SDK — research, ops, support, sales. We design, build, evaluate and ship the agent and its operating manual.
Codebase migrations & refactors
Large-scale framework upgrades, language migrations and dead-code purges that used to take a year — now measured in sprints with Claude Code orchestrating the work.
Governance & review
Code review pipelines, PR gates, security checks and the CI integrations that let your team move fast with Claude Code without breaking production.
Built on the Claude frontier stack
Every engagement runs on the same four primitives. We know them deeply — we've been shipping with them since they were released.
Claude Opus 4.7 — the frontier
Anthropic's flagship 2026 model with 1M-token context, frontier reasoning and the highest published scores on real-world coding (SWE-bench Verified) and agentic task completion. The brain.
Claude Code — the agentic CLI
Anthropic's official agentic command-line tool. Reads your codebase, runs your tests, drives your git, calls your MCP servers. Sits inside the terminal your engineers already live in.
Claude Agent SDK — production agents
The SDK we use to ship production agents — for research, ops, support and internal tools. Same primitives Claude Code is built on, exposed to your team.
MCP — the integration fabric
Model Context Protocol is the open standard for plugging tools and data into Claude. We design and build the MCP servers that connect your internal systems to the frontier model.
Four steps from call to handover
Fixed-price scoping, milestone-billed builds, written plans before we start. No T&M. No scope creep.
Step 01
Discovery call
Tell us the work. We diagnose what Claude Code can realistically do for it, what it can't, and where the real leverage sits. No deck, no pitch.
Step 02
Scoping sprint
We sit with your team for a week, audit the codebase, prototype the highest-leverage workflow, and ship a written plan with timelines, costs and a working artefact.
Step 03
Build & embed
Senior engineers from our team build alongside yours. Claude Code drives the day-to-day; we run the architecture, reviews and governance. Weekly demos, no surprises.
Step 04
Handover & uplift
We don't disappear. Documentation, runbooks, CLAUDE.md, agent operating manuals — and a 30-day uplift so your team can keep shipping at the new pace.
Three reasons we're different
Claude Ambassador-led
Most agencies are still figuring out Claude Code. Rye is Anthropic's recognised Claude Ambassador for Australia — we've been shipping with it since day one.
Frontier-first stack
We default to the current frontier model — Claude Opus 4.7. When that's overkill, we drop to Sonnet or Haiku. Always the right tool, never the heaviest.
Ship weeks, not quarters
Our delivery model is built around how Claude Code actually changes engineering throughput. Typical first cut in 2–4 weeks, including governance.
“Claude Code on Opus 4.7 changes the unit economics of software. We built our agency around that — not around headcount.”
Who we typically build for in Philadelphia
Philly's pharma corridor, Comcast HQ and University City's research-and-tech scene are deep on Copilot — frontier-model muscle is what they want next.

Want training instead of a build?
We also run dedicated Claude Code and Claude Coworker training for teams who want to ship in-house.
