Connect with Claude Code

Point Claude Code at the Anthropic-compatible endpoint.

By the end: Claude Code answers through RouteForge using a Claude model.

Claude Code speaks the Anthropic Messages protocol, which the gateway serves natively.

Environment

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://www.ary4n73.com"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$ROUTEFORGE_API_KEY"

Choose a Claude model for these sessions — the Messages endpoint forwards to the Claude family. The model name must match the catalog exactly.

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL takes the root, without /v1. Claude Code appends the Messages path itself.
