Claude Code Setup

Claude Code is Anthropic's command-line coding tool. To use it through Yunxi AI, create a key that supports Claude or Anthropic-compatible routing and point Claude Code to Yunxi AI.

Prerequisites

1. You have signed in to https://ai.laiber.cloud.
2. You have created a Claude Code API key.
3. Node.js is installed, or Claude Code has been installed through the official installer.

Recommended

If CC-Switch is installed, open the key action menu, choose CC Switch, select Claude, and import the model profile directly. The environment variable method below is a manual fallback.

Install Claude Code

Recommended:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Alternative npm install:

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

Verify:

claude -v

Configure environment variables

Replace sk-xxx with your Claude Code key.

macOS / Linux

For zsh:

echo 'export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-xxx"' >> ~/.zshrc
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai.laiber.cloud"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

For bash:

echo 'export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-xxx"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai.laiber.cloud"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Windows PowerShell

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN", "sk-xxx", "User")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL", "https://ai.laiber.cloud", "User")

Restart your terminal after setting variables.

Start Claude Code

cd your-project
claude

If Claude Code opens and returns a response, the configuration is working.

FAQ

Connection failed

Check the key, Base URL, model access, and local network or proxy settings.

Can I reuse the same key for Codex?

It is better to create separate keys because Claude Code and Codex often use different protocols, models, and groups.
