Claude Code

Claude Code can connect to bus4ai through environment variables. Once configured, your local terminal can use bus4ai balance for Claude-related model calls.

Prerequisites

Create an API Key in the bus4ai Console (opens in a new tab).

Environment Variables

PowerShell:

$env:ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your bus4ai API Key"
$env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://bus4ai.com"

Bash or Zsh:

export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your bus4ai API Key"
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://bus4ai.com"

If your Claude Code version uses OpenAI-compatible settings, use OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_BASE_URL instead. The exact variable names depend on your client version.

Start Claude Code

Run this inside your project:

claude

If the chat opens and the model responds, your configuration is working.

Recommendations

Create a dedicated API Key for Claude Code
Do not commit API keys into your repository
If a request fails, check balance, key status, and whether the Base URL contains an extra path
