Yep. I've given it tools (scripts, not MCP) that give it access to my bug tracker. It's able to handle requests like "please fix bug CO-1234" and off it goes. I have another script that uses Gemini to create map files, and that helps Claude find the right parts of the codebase quickly. It's able to do quite sophisticated bug fixes in a mature and unusual codebase (it's a deployment tool for desktop apps), and the quality of the produced code is high.
One thing I miss from Aider is speech recognition integration. When you're alone at home it's great to be able to speak what you want instead of typing it.
I'm pretty happy with it. The next big upgrade would be deep IDE integration, complete with the ability to search the IDE indexes, navigate around using cross-references and the like.
