This integration guide is compatible with macOS and Linux systems. Windows users should use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
Overview
Claude Code is a command-line AI assistant that helps with coding tasks. By integrating it with SiliconFlow, you can access powerful AI models for code generation, debugging, and analysis directly from your terminal.
Prerequisites
- macOS or Linux operating system (or WSL on Windows)
- Terminal access with bash shell
- Valid SiliconFlow API key (Get your API key)
- Internet connection for downloading the setup script
Method 1: Automated Setup (Recommended)
Step 1: Run the Installation Script
Execute the automated setup script in your terminal:
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://sf-maas.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/sample/ccsf_v251226.sh)"
Always review scripts from external sources before execution. This script will configure your environment variables and Claude Code settings.
You can find your API key in the SiliconFlow Console. Keep it secure and never share it publicly. Step 3: Select AI Model
Choose your preferred model using the arrow keys, or select Custom to specify your own model:
Step 4: Apply Configuration
Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize the setup:
- Copy the provided command
- Restart your terminal session
- Run the copied command to apply the configuration
Step 5: Start Using Claude Code
Launch Claude Code with the following command:
You can now interact with your selected AI model directly from the terminal for coding assistance.
Method 2: Manual Configuration
For advanced users who prefer manual setup or need custom configurations:
Environment Variables Setup
Configure the required environment variables in your shell profile (.bashrc, .zshrc, or .profile):
# SiliconFlow API Configuration
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.siliconflow.com/"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="your-preferred-model" # Replace with your preferred model
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-your-api-key-here" # Replace with your actual API key
Apply Configuration
Reload your shell configuration:
# For bash users
source ~/.bashrc
# For zsh users
source ~/.zshrc
Model Management
Switching Models
Claude Code currently supports one active model at a time. To change models:
Option A: Re-run the automated setup
bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://sf-maas.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/sample/ccsf_v251226.sh)"
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="new-model-name"
Available Models
Explore available models at cloud.siliconflow.com/models to find the one that best fits your needs.
Usage Tips
Best Practices:
- Use specific, detailed prompts for better code suggestions
- Break complex tasks into smaller, manageable requests
- Review generated code before implementation
- Monitor your usage in the SiliconFlow Console
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Authentication Error:
# Verify your API key is correctly set
echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
# Check if the model name is correct
echo $ANTHROPIC_MODEL
# Test API connectivity
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" https://api.siliconflow.com/v1/models
