Claude Code in the Terminal

Last updated: August 27, 2026

Claude Code can be connected to the Logicc API using the Anthropic-compatible endpoint. The interface runs in the terminal. Only enabled Claude models are recommended for this integration.

Beta: Claude Code is updated regularly. New client features may place additional demands on the gateway. Check the version used and the intended workflow before production use.

Quick start

1. Install Claude Code.
2. Set the Logicc API key and base URL as environment variables.
3. Start Claude Code with an unlocked Claude model.
4. Check connection with /status and model with /model.
5. Check quota after the first test request.

Requirements

• Active Logicc API key
• Unlocked Claude model
• Current Claude Code version
• Terminal on macOS, Linux, Windows or WSL

1. Install Claude Code

macOS, Linux or WSL:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Alternatively on macOS:

brew install --cask claude-code

Check installation:

claude --version

2. Configure the Logicc API

macOS, Linux or WSL

export LOGICC_API_KEY="YOUR_LOGICC_API_KEY"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="$LOGICC_API_KEY"
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.logicc.cloud/anthropic"
export CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY="1"

Windows PowerShell

$env:LOGICC_API_KEY = "YOUR_LOGICC_API_KEY"
$env:ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN = $env:LOGICC_API_KEY
$env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL = "https://api.logicc.cloud/anthropic"
$env:CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY = "1"

ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN is sent to the Logicc gateway as a bearer token. The base URL replaces the direct Anthropic endpoint for this session.

3. Check models and quota

curl "https://api.logicc.cloud/v1/models" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOGICC_API_KEY"

Only use model IDs returned by this endpoint.

4. Start Claude Code

cd /path/to/project
claude --model claude-sonnet-5

Windows PowerShell:

Set-Location "C:\Path\To\Project"
claude --model claude-sonnet-5

Check connection and model:

/status
/model

When gateway detection is enabled, additional gateway models appear under /model with the note From gateway.

5. Permanent settings

Non-secret settings can be stored in ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "model": "claude-sonnet-5",
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.logicc.cloud/anthropic",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_GATEWAY_MODEL_DISCOVERY": "1"
  }
}

On Windows the path is %USERPROFILE%\.claude\settings.json.

Do not store the API key in a project-specific .claude/settings.json, Git, or shared scripts. For long-term use, use a Secret Manager or Credential Helper.

Model choice

Recommended models

Other documented IDs

claude-opus-4-8, claude-opus-4-6, claude-sonnet-4@20250514, claude-3-7-sonnet@20250219, claude-3-5-sonnet-v2@20241022 and claude-haiku-4-5@20251001.

Newer models may require a current Claude Code version. If there are missing entries, run claude update.

Compatibility

For GPT models, use Codex or OpenCode.

Costs and quota

Agentic coding sessions can automatically execute many model and tool steps. Check the remaining budget regularly:

curl "https://api.logicc.cloud/api/governance/virtual-keys/quota" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOGICC_API_KEY"

Budget, usage, and remaining budget are tracked in euros.

Data protection

Claude Code works locally with shared project files and terminal tools. Model processing does not take place locally. Prompts and selected file or code snippets are transferred to the established model provider via the Logicc API. Web search, MCP servers and plugins can create additional data flows.

Troubleshooting

Support

If you have any questions, write to [email protected] with the subject API. Include the Claude Code version, operating system, model ID, HTTP status, timestamp, and complete error message. Do not include the API key.
