Claude Code
Connect Claude Code to AudioLab Router.
Configuration
Install Claude Code and Node.js 20 or later. Create an AudioLab workspace key with llm.write, available credits, and access to the selected model. Export it as AUDIOLAB_API_KEY in the terminal that launches the agent.

The command previews the files and fields it changes. Confirm to apply; it stores a private backup and prints an undo command. It does not store the API key or change your shell profile. Automatic file setup supports macOS and Linux.

npx https://tryaudiolab.ai/cli/router-0.1.0.tgz run claude-codeThe launcher scopes gateway credentials to this process. Existing Claude login and shell settings are preserved. Use Claude models; provider-hosted tools and extended thinking depend on the Messages endpoint contract.
Supported Configuration
The recipe disables explicit prompt caching and extended/adaptive thinking and fixes effort to high, which is the provider default accepted by the Messages adapter. It pins all three Claude model aliases to the selected Claude model. Keep output at 4096 tokens or less. Signed thinking replay, provider-hosted tools, cache directives, and arbitrary beta fields are not supported. Project or user settings.json environment entries can override shell values; remove conflicting routing entries before launching. Claude Code 2.1.270 was checked against a local streaming fixture and the Router request validator; this is not a live-provider or long-session certification.
Verify the Connection
Send a short text prompt, then a read-only tool request in a disposable project. Check the model, request record, and usage in Router. Test streaming and a follow-up turn before using a longer workflow. Client-specific tools and permissions remain managed by Claude Code.
The setup command can check authentication and model discovery without generating a response. See the protocol contracts for model and feature limits.
