IDE Integration

Any IDE or coding tool that supports a custom Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible base URL works out of the box. Just swap in your API key and base URL.

How It Works

The API is a drop-in replacement for the Anthropic API. Configure your tool with the two values below and everything else stays the same.

Base URL : https://api.cheapai.cc
API Key  : sk-ar-YOUR_KEY_HERE

Environment Variables

Most tools also read standard environment variables. Add these to your shell profile or .env file:

# Anthropic SDK

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.cheapai.cc

# OpenAI-compatible tools
