Claude Code through dario: every seat you hold behind one URL

Forwarded verbatim. Two base URLs, one key. Anthropic-shaped clients talk to http://localhost:3456; OpenAI-shaped clients — chat/completions and, since 6.3, the Responses API — talk to http://localhost:3456/v1. The key is dario (any value works until you set DARIO_API_KEY, which then has to match).

Setup

Claude Code

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3456
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=dario
claude

A genuine Claude Code request already is the Claude Code shape, so dario forwards it byte-for-byte — system prompt, tools, thinking, key order untouched — swapping in only the pool's credential, its billing tag and cache breakpoints. That covers the main loop, its Task/Agent sub-agents and the permission classifier. What you gain is the pool: several seats behind the one URL, with headroom routing and 429 failover. Background: #678.

Before that

Install dario, log in, leave it running

Three commands, once. The proxy binds 127.0.0.1:3456 and holds your login; every tool on the machine shares it. Add a ChatGPT plan with dario add altman and the two fail over to each other.

terminal

$ npm install -g @askalf/dario
$ dario login        # your Claude plan: Pro, Max 5x or Max 20x
  Login successful.
$ dario proxy        # leave it running
  dario · http://localhost:3456
  Your Claude subscription is now an API.

Something not listed? If it reads ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL or OPENAI_BASE_URL, or has a "Base URL" field, it works. The compatibility matrix says which tools are exercised end-to-end, which are inferred from a shared code path, and which are untested — one honest cell per tool.
