Claude Code

Not yet available. Native Claude Code support needs the Anthropic Messages API, which OpenDunes does not expose yet — today, use an OpenAI-compatible coding agent (Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cursor) or call Anthropic models through the chat completions API.

Claude Code is Anthropic's official CLI agent for AI-assisted software development. It calls Anthropic's API directly and supports custom base URLs — so once OpenDunes exposes the Messages endpoint, routing it through OpenDunes and billing usage in Algerian Dinars will be a two-variable change.

The intended configuration#

Once the Messages endpoint ships, the setup will be the two environment variables Claude Code reads:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://opendunes.com/api/v1"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="$OPENDUNES_API_KEY"

Claude Code reads ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and uses it instead of api.anthropic.com. From that point on, every model call will go through OpenDunes and be billed to your DA balance.

Note. Claude Code speaks Anthropic's native Messages API format, not the OpenAI-compatible format. OpenDunes does not expose a Messages endpoint yet, which is exactly why this page is not live — the base URL override alone is not enough today.

Persist the config#

When the integration is live, add the exports to your shell profile so they apply to every session:

# ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://opendunes.com/api/v1"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-0a1b2c3d..."   # your OpenDunes key

Or set them per-project using a .env file and a tool like direnv:

# .envrc (project root)
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://opendunes.com/api/v1"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-0a1b2c3d..."

direnv allow .

Choose a model#

Claude Code defaults to the latest Claude model. Specify a different one with --model:

claude --model anthropic/claude-opus-4.8 "Review the auth module for security issues"

Use a model slug from the OpenDunes catalog. Any model tagged with tools capability works with Claude Code's agentic loop.

Verify the connection#

Once live, a one-liner will confirm the wiring:

claude "Say hello in one line."

You should see a response streamed back. Check X-Balance-Available in the debug output (pass --debug) to confirm requests are reaching OpenDunes and your DA balance is being debited.

DA billing#

Claude Code usage billed through OpenDunes will appear in Dashboard → Analytics broken down by model, token count, and DA cost. Set a per-key budget cap in Dashboard → Keys to prevent runaway agentic sessions from draining your balance.

Troubleshooting#

Next steps#

• Automatic Code Review — script that reviews diffs via OpenDunes.
• API Keys — create a dedicated key for Claude Code sessions.
• Models — browse capability flags to find tool-capable models.
