Claude Code setup guide tackles relay endpoint pitfalls and costs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This guide explains how to configure AI coding tools to use third-party relay endpoints, focusing on compatibility with Anthropic's Messages format, which Claude Code requires. It details a common pitfall where API keys are tied to specific model catalogs within an account, leading to 'model_not_found' errors if the wrong key is used. The article provides a solution by explaining how to use different keys for different model families and offers a cost breakdown for various models like GPT-5 mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Claude Sonnet 4.5.

    Run Claude Code on a Relay Endpoint: Setup, the Model-Catalog Pitfall, and What It Actually Costs

    <p>Most AI coding tools speak one of two dialects: the OpenAI chat-completions format, or Anthropic's Messages format. If you want to run those tools against a third-party relay endpoint instead of a first-party account — for cost reasons, payment reasons, or because one key shou…
