What is an OpenAI-Compatible API?
OpenAI-compatible APIs follow the same request and response format as OpenAI's chat completions API. This standardization allows tools designed for OpenAI's interface to work seamlessly with alternative providers, including cloud services like OpenRouter, Groq, and Together AI, as well as self-hosted solutions like Ollama.
Configuration Requirements
To use Claude Code with an OpenAI-compatible provider, you need to configure four environment variables in your settings file. These include enabling compatibility mode, specifying the API endpoint URL, providing authentication credentials, and selecting the model to use.
