Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's official agentic coding tool. This guide connects it to OhMyGPT so you can pay-as-you-go without an Anthropic subscription.

Quick Setup

Run the interactive installer:

npx omgvibe

This configures your environment automatically. For manual setup, continue reading.

Installation

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

Manual Configuration

Option 1: Shell Profile (Recommended)

Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or ~/.config/fish/config.fish):

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.ohmygpt.com/code-assist/v1"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="<your-ohmygpt-api-key>"

Option 2: User Settings File

Edit ~/.claude/settings.json for user-wide configuration:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "<your-ohmygpt-api-key>",
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.ohmygpt.com/code-assist/v1"
  }
}

Option 3: Project Settings File

Create .claude/settings.local.json in your project root for project-specific configuration:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "<your-ohmygpt-api-key>",
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.ohmygpt.com/code-assist/v1"
  }
}

Configuration Reference

Verification

After configuration, start Claude Code and run the /status command:

claude

> /status
Anthropic base URL: https://api.ohmygpt.com/code-assist/v1

If the base URL shows the OhMyGPT endpoint, your configuration is active.

GitHub Actions

Use Claude Code in CI/CD workflows to automate code reviews and issue responses.

Setup

Add these secrets to your repository:

Workflow Example

Create .github/workflows/claude.yml:

name: Claude Assistant

on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
  pull_request_review_comment:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  claude:
    if: contains(github.event.comment.body, '@claude')
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
      issues: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
        with:
          anthropic_api_key: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}
          timeout_minutes: "60"
          claude_env: |
            ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL }}
            DISABLE_TELEMETRY: 1

Mention @claude in any issue or PR comment to trigger the assistant.

How It Works

OhMyGPT exposes an endpoint fully compatible with the Anthropic Messages API:

1. Direct Connection — Setting ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL routes Claude Code's native protocol directly to OhMyGPT. No local proxy is required.
2. API Compatibility — OhMyGPT handles model mapping and passes through advanced features like extended thinking and native tool use.
3. Pay-as-you-go — You are billed using your OhMyGPT balance. Usage appears in your OhMyGPT dashboard.
