🔌 Sotatek Proxy

Configure directly

After installing sotatek-proxy, choose the AI agent or IDE you actually use first. Then open the matching page in Configure your CLI and follow that tool’s setup path.

Use this page only when you want to configure Claude Code directly through environment variables or ~/.claude/settings.json. If you use an IDE or another agent, use the matching page instead:

You useOpen this page
Claude Code CLIConfigure directly
Claude Code profile switcherCCS Config
VS Code Claude Code extensionVS Code
AntigravityAntigravity
Codex CLICodex

After choosing the right tool page, pick the provider tab that matches your model provider: FridayAIX for Claude models, MiniMax for MiniMax models, or Deepseek for Deepseek models. The proxy forwards your request to the Sotatek Bifrost gateway and adds local attribution headers along the way.

Configure via CLI

Section titled “Configure via CLI”

sotatek-proxy setup -p claudecode writes all required env vars directly into ~/.claude/settings.json — no manual file editing needed. It backs up the existing file before writing.

Terminal window
sotatek-proxy setup -p claudecode -m fridayaix -k sk-bf-your-key
FlagDescription
-m / --modelModel profile: fridayaix, minimax, deepseek (default: fridayaix)
-k / --keyBifrost virtual key; falls back to existing settings or ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN env var
--workspaceWrite to .claude/settings.json in the current project instead of user-level
--dry-runPreview target path without writing

Restart Claude Code after running to apply the changes.

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL", "fridayaix/claude-haiku-4-5-20251001", "User")

Restart your terminal. Verify:

Terminal window
echo $env:ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
echo $env:ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL

Option C — Claude Code settings.json

Section titled “Option C — Claude Code settings.json”

%USERPROFILE%\.claude\settings.json — same JSON as macOS/Linux Option B above.

Verify

Section titled “Verify”
Terminal window
claude --version
claude "Hello, are you connected through Bifrost?"

Successful response = working. Authentication errors = check ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN.

Switching providers later

Section titled “Switching providers later”

Keep everything else identical and only update ANTHROPIC_MODEL (or the three ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_* variables):

ProviderModel value
