Prerequisites
- Install the published
@unlimgpt/clipackage. - Setup signs you in and creates an API key if needed; the secret stays in the operating-system credential store.
Setup
- Review precedence and the fields that would change:
unlimgpt configure claude-code --dry-run. - Apply the configuration:
unlimgpt configure claude-code. - The CLI never writes the key to JSON; Claude Code obtains it through
apiKeyHelper.
Verify
- Open Claude Code, send “Reply with READY”, wait for a non-empty response, and confirm the request in API Activity. The wording may vary; the request uses credits.
Rotate
- Record the old key ID from
unlimgpt keys list, then create and select a new key withunlimgpt keys create --name claude-code-next. - Send a request in Claude Code and confirm it in API Activity; restart Claude Code if needed. Revoke the old key only after a successful request.
Revoke
- Revoke a key on the API keys page after confirming the new connection; the old key immediately loses access.
Revert
- Run the exact command printed after
Undo:byconfigure. The CLI leaves later third-party edits intact.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Resolution |
|---|---|
| The helper is not called. | Remove a higher-precedence ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, then rerun doctor. |
| Managed settings prevent changes. | Contact your administrator; the CLI does not bypass managed policy. |
If the request fails, run unlimgpt doctor --client claude-code and see troubleshooting. Diagnostics do not replace a real request.
Uninstall
- Run the guarded receipt revert, then revoke the dedicated Claude Code key.
