Configuring Claude Code
Claude Code is an intelligent coding tool that runs in the terminal and helps developers quickly complete tasks such as code generation, debugging, and refactoring through natural language commands.
Use Claude Code through OriginRouter CLI
OriginRouter CLI provides a unified local entry point for Claude Code, connecting Cloud routes, model providers, session control, approvals, and cross-device collaboration. This path does not require manually installing Claude Code or maintaining account credentials and configuration files.
For OriginRouter CLI installation and initialization, see overview and install. If you prefer a graphical interface to start, view, and control Claude Code sessions, see Agent Control.
