Use Claude Code with your platform’s Anthropic-compatible proxy.

​
Install Claude Code

For more installation options and version notes, refer to the official Claude Code setup guide.

​
Configure your platform API

Important: Before configuring, clear the following Anthropic-related environment variables so old values do not override your platform settings:
  • ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
  • ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN

​
Manual configuration

Edit or create Claude Code’s configuration file:
  • macOS & Linux: ~/.claude/settings.json
  • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.claude\settings.json
Replace the placeholders below with your platform values:
  • YOUR_PLATFORM_BASE_URL: the Anthropic-compatible base URL provided by your platform
  • YOUR_PLATFORM_API_KEY: your platform API key
{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "YOUR_PLATFORM_BASE_URL",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_PLATFORM_API_KEY"
  }
}
With those two variables set, Claude Code will send Claude requests through your platform. No extra model-related fields are required. Then edit or create ~/.claude.json: 
{
  "hasCompletedOnboarding": true
}
Note: Environment variables ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN and ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL take precedence over the configuration file.

​
Launch Claude Code

After configuration, navigate to your project directory and run the claude command in the terminal to launch Claude Code.

​
Trust folder

After launching, select Trust This Folder to allow Claude Code to access files in that folder, then start using Claude through your platform proxy.

​
Using in Claude Code for VS Code extension

​
Install extension

Configure environment variables

Change the claudeCode.environmentVariables variable to the following settings: 
"claudeCode.environmentVariables": [
  {
    "name": "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL",
    "value": "YOUR_PLATFORM_BASE_URL"
  },
  {
    "name": "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN",
    "value": "YOUR_PLATFORM_API_KEY"
  }
]
No extra model selection is required in the VS Code extension.
