Your Claude Code requests now route through AI Gateway, giving you full visibility into usage patterns and costs while using your Max subscription.
When you configure Claude Code to use AI Gateway, Claude Code continues to authenticate with Anthropic. It sends its header and AI Gateway acts as either a passthrough proxy to Anthropic or, when it needs to fall back, a router to other providers.Authorization
Since the header is reserved for Claude subscription credentials, AI Gateway uses a separate header for its own authentication. This allows both auth mechanisms to coexist.Authorizationx-ai-gateway-api-key
