Configure [Claude Code](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code), Anthropic's official CLI coding agent, to use Eden AI for access to 500+ models behind a single API key.

## Overview

Claude Code runs in your terminal and edits code in your project. Pointing it at Eden AI gives you:

* **500+ models**: switch between Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more without reinstalling
* **One API key**: unified billing and monitoring across providers
* **Provider failover**: keep working when an upstream provider has an incident

## Prerequisites

* Claude Code installed ([install instructions](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code))
* Eden AI API key from [app.edenai.run](https://app.edenai.run) → **API Keys**

## Setup

### 1. Export your API key

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash bash / zsh theme={null}
  export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="YOUR_EDEN_AI_API_KEY"
  export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.edenai.run/v3"
  export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="anthropic/claude-opus-4.7"
  export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL="anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5"
  export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
  export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="anthropic/claude-opus-4-7"
  ```

  ```powershell PowerShell theme={null}
  $env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "YOUR_EDEN_AI_API_KEY"
  $env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL = "https://api.edenai.run/v3"
  $env:ANTHROPIC_MODEL = "anthropic/claude-opus-4.7"
  $env:ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL="anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5"
  $env:ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"
  $env:ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="anthropic/claude-opus-4-7"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

To make it permanent, add the `export` lines to `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` and reload your shell.

### 2. Launch Claude Code

```bash theme={null}
claude
```

Claude Code now sends requests to Eden AI using the model you set in `ANTHROPIC_MODEL`.

## Switching models

Eden AI uses the `provider/model` format. Update the `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` environment variable (or pass `--model` on the command line) to switch:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Claude variants theme={null}
  export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="anthropic/claude-opus-4.7"     # default
  export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5"   # cheaper, faster
  export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5"    # fastest
  ```

  ```bash Other providers theme={null}
  export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="openai/gpt-4o"
  export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="google/gemini-2.5-pro"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Browse the full catalog via [List Models](/v3/llms/listing-models) or `GET https://api.edenai.run/v3/models`.

## Troubleshooting

### Authentication errors

Verify the API key is loaded in your shell and that it has LLM access:

```bash theme={null}
echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

curl -X POST https://api.edenai.run/v3/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "anthropic/claude-opus-4.7", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "ping"}]}'
```

### Model not found

Use the full `provider/model` string (e.g. `anthropic/claude-opus-4.7`, not `claude-opus-4.7`). Confirm the ID is in the catalog returned by `GET /v3/models`.

### Connection issues

Confirm `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` is exactly `https://api.edenai.run/v3`. Check Eden AI status at [app-edenai.instatus.com](https://app-edenai.instatus.com).
