Setup

1

Get your AIUsage endpoint URL

Sign up at aiusage.ai. You get an Anthropic-compatible endpoint that proxies your traffic.

2

Point Claude Code at it

Paste this into your setup:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://aiusage.ai/claude
claude
3

Use Claude Code normally

All Claude Code features work unchanged — hooks, slash commands, MCP servers, sessions.

Your Anthropic API key stays yours. AIUsage forwards it transparently to Anthropic. It is never stored, never logged. You can delete your AIUsage account any time and your integration reverts to vanilla Claude in one env-var change.

What this gets you on Claude Code

Every Claude Code request that used to hit Anthropic at retail price now runs through AIUsage's audit layer first. On the six workloads we've verified, the measured delta was 76–84% on the same prompts. Your Claude Code behavior — autocomplete, chat, agent mode, whatever — doesn't change.

Audit before you commit

The audit tool is free and shows you exactly what you would have paid. No signup required for the number. If your expected delta is under 40%, the tool tells you outright and you walk. Run the audit →
