Route Claude Code through OmniRoute — verified, start to finish.
This kit takes Claude Code from “talking to the Anthropic API” to “routed through your OmniRoute gateway” — with a model strategy, a safety plan, and a troubleshooting matrix you can actually use. Exact commands and copy/paste configs, verified against official Claude Code docs (2026-09-13).
What you’ll be able to do
- Point Claude Code at your OmniRoute Base URL and API key in minutes.
- Pick gateway-served models from the /model picker (model discovery).
- Verify the whole path with one curl command before anything else breaks.
- Recover fast from every common failure via a symptom → check → fix matrix.
- Replicate the setup on any machine with a 10-minute quickstart.
Who this is for
- Claude Code users who want traffic routed through OmniRoute instead of the default endpoint.
- Builders managing model cost, latency, or API-key sprawl across projects.
- Anyone tired of “copy a config from a blog and hope” — these commands are verified.
What’s included
- Interactive Guide — self-contained HTML course: modules, checklists, diagrams; progress saved in your browser.
- Quickstart — the 10-minute “set up another machine” checklist.
- Config pack — .env template plus the exact ~/.claude/settings.json env block.
- Project template — CLAUDE.md for a routed project.
- Troubleshooting matrix — symptom → check → fix for every common failure.
- Changelog — know when Claude Code / OmniRoute changes and what to re-verify.
How the course works
- Open the interactive guide and follow the modules in order — everything stays unlocked, work at your own pace.
- Two variables carry the whole setup: ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL (your OmniRoute Base URL) and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN (your OmniRoute API key).
- Run the curl test first. If anything breaks, the troubleshooting matrix points to the fix.
