A Claude MAX gateway built for Claude Code
The Claude MAX group provides native Anthropic-protocol access for Claude Code, backed by a pool of Claude subscription accounts. Keep your existing workflow — set two environment variables and get stable, low-cost, rate-limit-free access to Claude models.
Why the Claude MAX Group
Designed around how Claude Code is actually used.
Native Protocol
Direct Anthropic Messages API access — no protocol translation or plugins. Every Claude Code capability works out of the box once configured.
No Rate Limits
No RPM or TPM caps. A multi-account pool schedules requests dynamically, so high concurrency and long-context tasks never queue or break.
Predictable Cost
Billed by actual token usage, well below the official subscription and API. No monthly fee, no minimum spend, no hidden cost.
Reliable
The account pool, session stickiness and anti-abuse scheduling keep long, continuous coding sessions available and consistent.
Connect Claude Code in Three Steps
About 30 seconds, with no code changes.
Create a Key on the Claude MAX group
Log in to the console, open the API Tokens page, create a Key, and select the "Claude MAX" group.
Set environment variables
Add these two lines to your shell config, replacing ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN with the Key you created.
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://your-domain.com
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=<your API Key>infoANTHROPIC_BASE_URL uses the root domain, with no /v1 path.
Launch Claude Code
Run claude. Model selection, subagents, MCP and extended thinking all work normally.
Pricing
The billing multiplier is 1.2× the official model price, but settlement is 1:1 in RMB (¥1 = $1), so your real RMB spend is far lower than buying the official API at the live FX rate.
