Verified setupUse Claude Code with GlideflowAI.
Terminal-native agent workflows through the Anthropic-compatible path. Connect it through GlideflowAI's Anthropic-compatible API with a key you control.
What this connection is for
Claude Code is a terminal-first agent for working directly in a repository. It can reason over a codebase, edit files, run project commands, and turn a conversational request into an iterative implementation session. Its terminal orientation makes it natural for developers who already live in a shell, want changes to stay close to git, and prefer an agent that can pause for direction rather than hide work behind a remote interface.
A productive Claude Code session starts with a narrow objective and a clean working tree. Ask for an inspection or plan before large edits, keep tests representative of the requested outcome, and use the session's visible command history as part of your review. The agent is most useful when it has enough context to reason about a project but still has a human setting the boundaries.
GlideflowAI exposes an Anthropic-compatible endpoint for this configuration. That protocol differs from the standard OpenAI-compatible endpoint: its base URL does not include /v1. The connection is a customer-controlled environment-variable setup, not an official approval by Anthropic or the Claude Code project.
Why pair it with GlideflowAI
Use a single gateway key for Claude Code and OpenAI-compatible tools without teaching every tool a different billing workflow.
The public USD pricing page and model catalog make it straightforward to decide which available route to test for a coding task.
Setup
Use a new API key for the tool, select a model from the catalog, and begin with a small task. Do not put a key in a repository, screenshot, or shared configuration file.
Create a GlideflowAI API key
Create a key in the GlideflowAI dashboard. Treat it like any other terminal secret: put it in your shell environment or an approved secret manager, never in a repository.
Set the Anthropic-compatible environment
Set the endpoint without /v1, then set the auth token and a model ID before starting Claude Code.
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.glideflowai.com" export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-your-key" export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="glm-5.2"Run a bounded first task
Start claude in a repository and ask for a short analysis or one-file change. If you want persistence, place the same environment values in Claude Code's user settings rather than in project code.

Frequently asked questions
Should ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL include /v1?
No. GlideflowAI's Anthropic-compatible base URL is https://api.glideflowai.com without /v1.
Can I set a different model?
Yes. Copy an exact available ID from the GlideflowAI model catalog and set ANTHROPIC_MODEL before launching.
Will this make Claude Code an Anthropic product integration?
No. It is a standard compatible-endpoint configuration maintained by the user.
Ready to connect Claude Code?
Create a key, use the setup above, and verify the connection on a small task before you scale it up.
