What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is an agentic coding tool from Anthropic that runs directly in your terminal (or integrated in your IDE) and is designed to understand your full codebase, execute commands, edit files, create commits, and handle git workflows — all via natural-language prompts. Its key capabilities include building new features from plain-English descriptions, debugging and fixing issues by analysing the codebase, navigating complex repositories, and automating repetitive engineering tasks.

​
Integration Options

Unbound provides two ways to integrate Claude Code depending on your needs:
  1. Using API Key: Use Claude Code through Unbound Gateway without needing your own Anthropic subscription
  2. With Anthropic Account: Keep your existing Anthropic subscription and add Unbound for tracking and analytics

​
Prerequisites

Before integration, ensure you have:

​
Setup with Unbound CLI

unbound setup claude-code
You’ll be prompted to choose a mode:
  1. Gateway — Use Unbound as the AI provider (no Anthropic subscription needed)
  2. Subscription — Keep your Anthropic subscription, add Unbound for policy enforcement and analytics
You can also skip the prompt: 
unbound setup claude-code --gateway        # Use Unbound as AI provider
unbound setup claude-code --subscription   # Hooks only (keep your subscription)
To remove the Unbound configuration: 
unbound setup claude-code --clear
After setup, restart your terminal and IDE, then run: 
claude
