Using Ahur in Claude Code

Claude Code is a command-line tool from Anthropic that lets you write code with the help of AI. There are two ways to use it with Ahur.

Option 1 (recommended): use the Ahur CLI

The simplest route — the Ahur CLI installs, configures and launches Claude Code for you:

# install the Ahur CLI
npm install -g ahur-cli

# set your API key
ahur config set api_key ak_your_key_here

# run Claude Code through Ahur
ahur launch claude

The Ahur CLI automatically:

• Installs Claude Code if it isn't already present
• Fetches the list of Ahur models and shows them so you can pick one
• Sets the environment variables and starts Claude Code

Resuming a previous conversation

ahur launch claude --resume sess_abc123

Choosing a specific model

ahur launch claude --model ahur/general

Option 2: manual setup

If you'd rather work with Claude Code directly:

1. Get an API key

• Go to the API keys section of the developer panel.
• Create a new key and store it somewhere safe.

2. Install Claude Code

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

3. Set the environment variables

On Linux / macOS:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.ahur.ir/v1"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="ak_your_key_here"

To make this permanent, add it to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

echo 'export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.ahur.ir/v1"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="ak_your_key_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

4. Run it

claude

Security notes

• Never share your API key with anyone
• Track your consumption and costs in the usage statistics section
• The ~/.config/ahur/config.json file holds your key — keep it protected
