Run Claude Code without a US card — point it at cocodot
Set two environment variables and Claude Code talks to real Claude through cocodot — you can also switch the main model to the cheaper Claude Haiku. Discounted, per token, pay by card or crypto. No US card, no Anthropic subscription.
Setup (2 minutes)
# point Claude Code at cocodot
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://cocodot.co/api/ai
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR_COCODOT_KEY
# pick models (optional)
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL=mco-7 # Claude Opus 5(写 mco-6 用 4.8 也行)
export ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL=mch-1 # Claude Haiku 4.5
# want it cheaper? use Haiku for the main model:
# export ANTHROPIC_MODEL=mch-1
claudeModels: mco-7 = Claude Opus 5 · mcs-6 = Sonnet 5 · mco-6 = Opus 4.8 · mch-1 = Haiku 4.5.
No US card, no subscription
You don’t need an Anthropic Max plan or a US credit card. Create a cocodot key, top up, and Claude Code just works.
Real Claude — or cheaper
Runs on real Claude (Opus / Sonnet / Haiku). You can also switch the main model to the cheaper Claude Haiku and keep the same agentic workflow.
Discounted, per token
Premium models 10–20% off official. You only pay for the tokens you use.
Pay by card or crypto
Top up with a card (Visa / Mastercard / Apple Pay) or USDT / USDC. No US bank, no China ID.
FAQ
How does Claude Code connect to cocodot?
Claude Code supports a custom Anthropic endpoint via ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Set it to https://cocodot.co/api/ai and set ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN to your cocodot key. cocodot exposes an Anthropic-compatible endpoint that talks to the model on your behalf.
Can I make Claude Code cheaper?
Yes. Set ANTHROPIC_MODEL to a cheaper backend like mch-1, or use Sonnet (mcs-5) instead of Opus for the main model. Same Claude Code workflow, much lower token cost.
Do I need a US card or an Anthropic subscription?
No. Top up your cocodot balance with a card or USDT/USDC and use your cocodot key. No US card, no Anthropic Max plan required.
Is it stable?
The direct-connect endpoint is in beta: chat, tool calls (read/write files, run commands) and streaming are supported. If you hit an edge case, let us know and we’ll fix it fast.
Start small, verify, scale
Create a key, top up a little, run one real Claude Code task to check it works for you — then scale.
