Conductor runs using your local Claude Code login. You can check your auth status by running claude /login in your terminal.
We also support running Claude Code on OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Vercel AI Gateway, or any Anthropic API compatible provider, like GLM.
Go to Settings -> Env to set environment variables. Check out the Claude Code docs for a full list of environment variables.
When using Anthropic-compatible providers like OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, or GLM, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY must be explicitly set to an empty string to prevent Claude Code from attempting to authenticate with Anthropic directly.
OpenRouter Example
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-openrouter-api-key"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""
Vercel AI Gateway Example
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-vercel-ai-gateway-api-key"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""
Bedrock Example
export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1
export AWS_REGION=us-east-1
export ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL_AWS_REGION=us-west-2
GLM Example
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-zai-api-key"

Azure AI Example
# Enable Azure AI Foundry integration
export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_FOUNDRY=1
# Azure resource name (replace {resource} with your resource name)
