Which AI providers are supported?

Each provider is a template, a bundle of environment variables (base URL, model mappings, default settings) that gets merged into a new instance. You bring the API key; the template handles the rest.

All available templates

Why some providers have two templates

Xiaomi and Alibaba run separate endpoints for pay-per-token vs. subscription plans. Rather than making you edit URLs after setup, claude-multi ships a template for each, mimo vs. mimo-token, qwen vs. qwen-coding.

Using Anthropic directly

You don’t need a template for Anthropic, that’s just Claude Code’s default. Run claude directly for Anthropic, and use claude-multi for everything else. If you still want a managed instance for Anthropic (to keep its config isolated), create one without a provider:

claude-multi add anthropic --skip-prompts

It’ll connect to Anthropic’s API using Claude Code’s built-in defaults.

Using a provider that’s not listed

You can create an instance without a template and configure it manually:

claude-multi add my-provider
# Then edit ~/.claude-multi/my-provider/settings.json

Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_MODEL, and ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL to match your provider’s API.
