Claude Code + OriginStartAI Gateway Starter

Use a custom OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible gateway with Claude Code in about 3 minutes.

This repository is a public, sanitized starter. Replace every placeholder with values from your own dashboard before running it.

Quickstart

1. Copy the example environment file.

Copy-Item .env.example .env

2. Edit .env.

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://your-gateway.com
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk-example-xxx

3. Verify the endpoint before opening Claude Code.

.\scripts\verify-claude-gateway.ps1

4. Start Claude Code in the same terminal session.

What This Solves

• Configure Claude Code with a custom API endpoint.
• Verify your gateway before a real coding session.
• Keep secrets out of GitHub by using .env.example.
• Troubleshoot common base URL and token mistakes.

Common Errors

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
401 or unauthorized	API token is missing or wrong	Recreate the key in your dashboard and update .env.
404 on /v1/messages	Base URL includes the wrong path	Use the provider's documented root URL.
Timeout	Proxy, DNS, or gateway outage	Test with curl and check provider status.
Claude Code ignores env	Terminal was opened before env changed	Restart the terminal and reload .env.

Security Notes

• Never commit .env.
• Never paste a real API key into issues, screenshots, commits, or README files.
• Public examples must use sk-example-xxx and https://your-gateway.com.
