    Product intro on the Anthropic website; commands and usage in the official docs.

    Prerequisites

    • Claude Code installed (claude --version prints a version)
    • A key for an Anthropic-format group created on the API Keys page (format guidance in API Endpoints)

    Configure

    Append to your shell config (~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc):

    export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://tokens.byteseek.ai"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-your-key"

    Note the Base URL has no /v1 — the Anthropic format's paths are appended by the client itself.

    Reload and start:

    source ~/.bashrc
claude
    What you should see
    • After starting claude, the welcome banner's API Base URL line shows https://tokens.byteseek.ai (the variables took effect);
    • A test message gets a normal reply;
    • /status shows the current model and connection state with no 401 / 403.

    Verify

    Send any message inside Claude Code — a normal reply means you are connected. To confirm billing attribution, look for the request on the usage page.

    Choosing models

    Switch models inside Claude Code with /model; availability depends on your key's group — full list in the model plaza. With a composite key, remember the prefix on model IDs.

    Common issues

    SymptomCause and fix
    401Wrong or dead key; confirm ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN is exported without stray spaces
    403Model not in group, group restricted to other clients, or wrong format; recheck the group notes in the model plaza
    Variables not applyingNo source after editing, or overridden elsewhere; check with echo $ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
    Slow responsesSlow first tokens are normal for deep-reasoning models; for persistent anomalies see Troubleshooting
