Description
Problem
The direct Anthropic provider currently builds direct Messages and model-catalog requests against the official Anthropic API endpoints. That works for ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, but it prevents Anthropic-compatible gateways/proxies from being used even when a user provides Anthropic-style environment variables such as ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and a bearer-style ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.
This is separate from the Claude OAuth/subscription path: OAuth should keep using the official Anthropic OAuth endpoints because the preflight/bootstrap flow depends on them.
Reproduction
Configure a local or enterprise Anthropic-compatible gateway:
$env:JCODE_RUNTIME_PROVIDER = "anthropic-api"
$env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL = "http://127.0.0.1:15721/anthropic/v1"
$env:ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN = "<redacted>"
Then run a direct Anthropic request, for example:
jcode --provider anthropic-api run --tool-profile none "Reply exactly OK"
Expected behavior:
- Messages requests go to
http://127.0.0.1:15721/anthropic/v1/messages. - Bearer-style gateway tokens are sent as
Authorization: Bearer <token>. - Official
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYusage continues to sendx-api-keyto the default Anthropic API. - Claude OAuth continues to use the official OAuth URL and headers.
Actual behavior:
- The direct Anthropic transport is tied to official Anthropic endpoints/auth behavior, so the gateway cannot be selected through the usual Anthropic-compatible env vars.
Notes
A focused fix should keep OAuth unchanged, preserve the existing direct API-key path, and only apply custom base URL/bearer-token handling to non-OAuth direct Anthropic requests.

Research direction
Start by locating the direct Anthropic transport and the separate Claude OAuth/bootstrap path, then run the reproduction command with the shown environment variables. Done means gateway requests use the configured base URL and bearer token, while direct API-key requests and OAuth retain their existing endpoints and headers.
