Claude Code

Claude Code can connect directly through the OdiRouter compatible proxy. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, then start Claude Code.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Claude Code	Installed and working with its native setup
Anthropic Base URL	`https://www.odirouter.ai`
Messages endpoint	`https://www.odirouter.ai/v1/messages`
Auth token	OdiRouter API key
Model	A Claude Code model mapping supported by OdiRouter

Configure Environment Variables

Set these before starting Claude Code:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://www.odirouter.ai"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="YOUR_API_KEY"

Do not commit a real API key to repository config. Keep it in your shell profile, local environment manager, or CI secrets.

If your Claude Code version reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY instead of ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, set both:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="${ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN}"

Start Claude Code

cd /path/to/your/project
claude

Start with a read-only task:

Explain the repository structure. Do not edit files.

Unified Proxy URL

Claude Code uses the Anthropic-compatible Base URL. Claude Code appends the Anthropic API path, so do not paste /v1/messages here:

https://www.odirouter.ai

If you are calling the Anthropic Messages API from curl, an HTTP Request node, or another raw HTTP tool, use the full endpoint:

curl -sS "https://www.odirouter.ai/v1/messages" \
  -H "x-api-key: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.5",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Reply with: Claude Code connected to OdiRouter"
      }
    ]
  }'

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Claude Code returns `401` or invalid key	Check that `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` is a valid OdiRouter API key
Claude Code still calls official Anthropic	Confirm `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` is set in the shell that starts `claude`
Model not found	Use a model name supported by OdiRouter or check the current proxy model mapping
Protocol or streaming errors	Confirm the Base URL is `https://www.odirouter.ai`, not the full `/v1/messages` endpoint
