Integration with Claude Code | OpenRouter | OpenRouter | Documentation

Claude Code is undisputedly the most powerful terminal Code Agent on the planet right now.

However, it’s not easy to use - just dealing with account bans and network issues alone is enough to give you a headache.

So most people probably use third-party vendor adaptations or interface relays like CCR, though configuration is still quite troublesome.

Until today, OpenRouter has broken through this barrier. You can now use Claude Code through OpenRouter.

This includes 39 free models!

OpenRouter’s API forwarding preserves Claude Code’s exceptional Agent interaction experience, while allowing you to switch to stronger, cheaper, or more suitable models at any time.
