Talos in Claude Code

Point Claude Code at Talos with two environment variables. Every model works, not just Claude.

Format
Anthropic Messages
Base URL
https://api.gettalos.xyz
Models
Any OpenRouter id. See them all

Steps

  1. Add the two highlighted lines to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc), with your key.
  2. Open a new terminal so the variables load, then run claude.
  3. Choose a model with ANTHROPIC_MODEL, or with /model inside Claude Code. Any OpenRouter model id works.
~/.zshrc
# ~/.zshrcexport ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.gettalos.xyz"export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="sk-talos-…"export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="anthropic/claude-opus-5" claude

Highlighted lines are the ones you add or change. Put your own key where it says sk-talos-….

  • Talos speaks the Anthropic Messages format, including tools, images, prompt caching and streaming, and translates it for every model.
