Third-Party Scaffolding — Privacy & Security Warning

Third-party scaffoldings may be serving your data outside your environment. For privacy and cybersecurity refusal optimization, use CAI to obtain the best performance.

Claude Code is Anthropic's official CLI for agentic coding. Because it speaks the Anthropic API format natively, it cannot talk directly to the Alias API (which is OpenAI-compatible). A small proxy is required to translate between the two.

Support Disclaimer

Alias Robotics does not provide support for developments or integrations related to Claude Code. This page documents API compatibility only. Alias simply allows usage of the Alias API through your preferred scaffolding.

How It Works

Claude Code  →  Anthropic API format
                        ↓
              claude-code-proxy (localhost:8082)
                        ↓
              OpenAI-compatible format  →  Alias API

The proxy (github.com/1rgs/claude-code-proxy) intercepts Anthropic-format requests from Claude Code and forwards them to any OpenAI-compatible backend — in this case, the Alias API.

Setup

1. Get your Alias API Key

An ALIAS_API_KEY (format: sk-...) can be obtained from either of the following:

  • CAI PRO — full cybersecurity AI platform with access to alias1 and other models.
  • Alias LLMs — acquire alias2-mini and other Alias language models directly.

2. Clone and configure the proxy

git clone https://github.com/1rgs/claude-code-proxy.git
cd claude-code-proxy

Create a .env file:

# Point to the Alias API
OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-alias-api-key-here"
OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.aliasrobotics.com:666/"

# Map Claude model names to Alias models
BIG_MODEL="alias1"
SMALL_MODEL="alias1"

PREFERRED_PROVIDER="openai"

3. Run the proxy

Install uv if needed, then start the server:

uv run uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8082 --reload

Or with Docker:

docker run -d --env-file .env -p 8082:8082 ghcr.io/1rgs/claude-code-proxy:latest

4. Launch Claude Code via the proxy

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8082 claude

To avoid setting this every time, export it in your shell profile:

echo 'export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8082' >> ~/.zshrc

Verification

Inside Claude Code, run a quick prompt and confirm the response is served via alias1. Token usage and billing will appear in your Alias account.
