Claude Code Adds Support for AI Gateway

·2026.01.05 22:00

Key point

You can now use Claude Code through Vercel AI Gateway to gain usage management and observability.

Details

Claude Code can be used through Vercel AI Gateway's Anthropic-compatible API endpoint.

Routing requests through AI Gateway provides the following benefits:

  • Centralized management of usage and costs
  • Trace visibility through observability
  • Cross-provider failover support for the selected model

To set this up, you must first log out and then configure environment variables. In particular, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY must be set to an empty string so that Claude Code skips it and uses ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN instead.
