Gate

Claude Code

Route Claude Code through Gate to add prompt-injection scanning, audit, caching, and cost tracking. Your workflow does not change.

Claude Code reads its settings from ~/.claude/settings.json. Add one of the blocks below, then restart Claude Code. Create your Gate key (sk-gw-…) under API keys in the dashboard.

Pay through Gate

Use your Gate key as the only credential. Gate routes each request and bills your prepaid balance.

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://gateway.constellationgate.ai",
    "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "sk-gw-…your Gate key…",
    "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-opus-4-8",
    "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5",
    "ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS": "X-Gate-Api-Key: sk-gw-…your Gate key…"
  }
}

Both the key and the models are placeholders. Use your own Gate key (sk-gw-…) and any models from the Gate catalog, written provider/model. Browse IDs on the dashboard’s Models page or via GET /v1/models. ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL sets Claude Code’s fast background tier, so point it at a smaller, cheaper model.

Use your own keys

Keep your existing Anthropic login or API key. Gate forwards your request to Anthropic and adds its security and audit layer underneath.

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://gateway.constellationgate.ai",
    "ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS": "X-Gate-Api-Key: sk-gw-…your Gate key…\nX-Gate-Upstream-Url: https://api.anthropic.com"
  }
}

Replace sk-gw-…your Gate key… with your own Gate key. Your Anthropic credential stays whatever Claude Code already uses; Gate forwards it unchanged.

Confirm requests are flowing

Open the dashboard and use Claude Code the way you normally would. New requests appear on the Messages page within a few seconds, each with its model, cost, and security result.
