Set up Claude Max API Proxy but still uses API key
VPS + Docker
So I setup claude API proxy for my Pro subscription, at one point the agent assured its using it correctly and all seemed fine.
Then my agent stopped working because it ran out of credit indicating that it was still using the API key, which it indeed does:
claude auth status
{
"loggedIn": true,
"authMethod": "claude.ai",
"apiProvider": "firstParty",
"apiKeySource": "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
"email": "mymail",
"orgId": "myorgid",
"orgName": null,
"subscriptionType": "pro"
}
In my config the agents are as follows:
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": {
"primary": "claude-opus-4",
"fallbacks": [
"claude-sonnet-4"
]
},
And models:
"models": {
"claude-opus-4": {
"alias": "opus"
},
"claude-sonnet-4": {
"alias": "sonnet"
},
"google/gemini-3-flash": {
"alias": "flash"
},
"deepseek/deepseek-chat": {
"alias": "ds"
}
},
Base URL:
"OPENAI_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:3456/v1"
Model mapping:
const MODEL_MAP = {
// Direct model names
"claude-opus-4": "opus",
"openai/claude-opus-4": "opus",
"openai/claude-sonnet-4": "sonnet",
"openai/claude-haiku-4": "haiku",
"openai/claude-opus-4": "opus",
"openai/claude-sonnet-4": "sonnet",
"openai/claude-haiku-4": "haiku",
"claude-sonnet-4": "sonnet",
"claude-haiku-4": "haiku",
// With provider prefix
"claude-code-cli/claude-opus-4": "opus",
"claude-code-cli/claude-sonnet-4": "sonnet",
"claude-code-cli/claude-haiku-4": "haiku",
// Aliases
"opus": "opus",
"sonnet": "sonnet",
"haiku": "haiku",
};
Also every time i restart my container now i need to manually start the gateway + proxy which is very annoying.
I would like to stop using the API and persist the usage of proxy only as whenever I find a workaround it always resets after i restart the container.
