Claude Code

Claude Code connects to Rabah through three environment variables:

Variable	Value	Purpose
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL	https://api.rabah.ai	The base URL — no /v1
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN	Your key	Authentication
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC	1	Turns off Claude Code’s non-essential traffic to Anthropic, such as telemetry and error reports

The Hub’s Use Key → Claude Code tab generates a copy with your key filled in.

The easy way

On a Windows or macOS computer, Rabah Desktop one-click setup sets up both Claude Code and Claude Desktop.

Option 1: settings.json (recommended)

Put this in Claude Code’s settings file; both the terminal Claude Code and the VS Code extension read it:

• macOS / Linux: ~/.claude/settings.json
• Windows: %userprofile%\.claude\settings.json

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.rabah.ai",
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_KEY",
    "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC": "1"
  }
}

If the file already has other settings, add these three entries to the existing "env" instead of replacing the file.

Option 2: set them in the terminal

For a quick try, run this in the terminal window you’ll start Claude Code from:

macOS / Linux

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.rabah.ai"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="YOUR_KEY"
export CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1

Windows PowerShell

$env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.rabah.ai"
$env:ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="YOUR_KEY"
$env:CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1

Windows CMD

set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.rabah.ai
set ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_KEY
set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1

These last only as long as that terminal window. To keep them, use option 1, or on macOS / Linux add the three export lines to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc.

Models and lines

Type /model in Claude Code to switch models. To use a specific line, write the model as model:line-code, e.g. claude-sonnet-4-6:pro. See Models and lines.

Troubleshooting

Requests fail with 404 Most likely ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL is https://api.rabah.ai/v1. Claude Code adds /v1/messages itself, so the address must not end in /v1.

Authentication fails (401) Check that the key is complete and isn’t disabled, expired or out of quota in the Hub.

Changes don’t take effect Quit Claude Code and open it again. If the variables are set both in settings.json and in the terminal, one may override the other; keep just one.
