Run Claude Code through AnyRouter

What this is for

Claude Code talks to Anthropic by default. To use other models, share billing across tools, or keep an audit log, you need a custom base URL without rewriting how the CLI works.

How the request flows

Steps, then copy

1. 1.Install the anyr CLI with the curl | bash one-liner (native binary, no npm).
2. 2.Run anyr claude. First run signs you in or pastes an sk-ar- key; later runs reuse ~/.anyrouter/config.yaml.
3. 3.Pin a catalog model when you want one (anyr claude --model anyrouter/auto). Env vars remain the manual fallback.

curl -fsSL https://anyrouter.dev/setup.sh | bash
anyr claude

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://anyrouter.dev/api"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$ANYROUTER_API_KEY"
claude
