Claude Code Configuration
Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding client. This guide connects it to your Ofox account. Model availability, rate limits and charges depend on your account and selected model.
Set up faster with Ofox Desktop. On an Apple silicon Mac, Desktop can detect this tool, back up its current configuration, and apply an Ofox API key and compatible model. Open Ofox Desktop .
Choose a setup path
- Ofox Desktop: check the supported devices and clients , then follow its configuration flow.
- CC Switch: follow the provider configuration guide. Use one configuration tool at a time so settings are not overwritten unexpectedly.
Keep a local backup before replacing a working configuration. Installing a configuration tool does not itself verify an API connection.
Quick Start
Verify the first request
- Confirm the selected provider, credentials and model against the provider configuration guide. The Claude Code guide uses the Anthropic protocol; do not reuse a Codex endpoint simply because both clients use an API key.
- Start a new session and send a short request such as “Reply with OK only.” Model usage is billed according to your account and model pricing.
- Match the request time and model in your Ofox usage records. A reply alone does not establish which provider processed it.
- If you need tool calling, test it separately in a disposable project. Review the tool action and its result. A text response is not a tool-compatibility test.
Troubleshoot before retrying
| Symptom | Check first | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication error | Active credentials, selected provider and any conflicting existing configuration | Correct the credential source, then start a new session; never share the key in a screenshot |
| Endpoint or model not found | Protocol, base URL and exact model ID | Compare with the provider guide and your account’s available models; avoid duplicated path segments |
| Rate or quota error | Error response, account balance and applicable limits | Resolve the reported limit or wait as instructed; repeated retries can add load and may incur charges |
| Text succeeds but tools fail | Tool schema, model capabilities and tool-result error | Isolate a small tool example; do not assume all features work because authentication passed |
| No Ofox usage record | Selected account, provider and request time | Verify the request route before treating setup as complete |
Record the client version, operating system, exact model ID, request time and timezone, HTTP status and request identifier if returned. Redact keys, authorization headers, personal prompts and private project contents before contacting support.
Choose the model for your task
Use the coding model finder to shortlist candidates, then test your required tools and workload. Recommendation scores are not a guarantee that every Claude Code feature works with a particular model.
