Claude Code Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Claude Code with Free-Way.

1. Set Environment Variables

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8787
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_freeway_api_key

The ANTHROPIC_API_KEY can be any non-empty string if Free-Way's gateway auth is disabled. To set a custom gateway key, go to the Free-Way console → API Keys tab and enter your desired FREEWAY_API_KEY — then use that same value here.

On Windows (PowerShell):

$env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="http://localhost:8787"
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your_freeway_api_key"

2. Run Claude Code

Start Claude Code after setting environment variables.

3. Verify Setup

Run a simple test prompt and confirm that responses are routed through Free-Way.

4. Notes

  • Free-Way automatically routes requests to the best available free provider.
  • Ensure Free-Way server is running before testing.
