AI Expert Network is the top marketplace for hiring Claude Code developers. Browse vetted experts who build with Anthropic's Claude, MCP servers, and the Claude Code CLI. Rates range from $70 to $250 per hour depending on specialization.
Find and hire vetted Claude Code developers and consultants. Build AI-powered applications, automate workflows, and integrate Claude into your stack with expert guidance.
A Claude Code developer works inside Anthropic's Claude Code CLI to ship production software, not demos. That means agentic build pipelines, custom MCP servers that connect Claude to your internal systems, and automation that replaces manual engineering steps.
The strongest ones treat Claude as a teammate with tools, not a chat box. They wire up tool use, extended thinking, and prompt caching so the work stays fast, cheap, and reliable under real load.
Ask for one thing before anything else, a system they shipped with Claude that is running in production today. Have them walk you through how they handled tool errors, cost, and the cases where the model got it wrong.
Good candidates talk about evals and guardrails without being prompted. If someone only shows you a slick demo and cannot explain how it behaves on messy input, keep looking.
On AI Expert Network, Claude Code and MCP specialists land around $150 per hour at the median, with most between $100 and $175 and senior agent architects reaching $250 or more. A scoped MCP server or a focused automation usually runs as a two to four week engagement rather than an open ended retainer.
Rates track depth, not just years. Someone who has built MCP servers that survived a real integration is worth more than a generalist who read the docs last month.
Typical work includes internal copilots that read your data through MCP, document and ticket automation, code migration agents, and customer facing assistants built on the Claude API or AWS Bedrock. Each of these is a few weeks of focused work for the right person, not a six month build.
A Claude Code expert builds applications using Anthropic's Claude Code CLI, creates MCP servers for tool integration, develops AI agents, and automates complex workflows using Claude's coding capabilities.
