Anthropic's Claude Code CLI is the best agentic coding tool of 2026 — but Anthropic doesn't serve China directly, requires a USD card, and most China-issued cards get declined. AIPower routes Claude Code through Cloudflare global edge, accessible from inside China without VPN, paid via WeChat Pay or Alipay.

⚠️ Status: Anthropic-native endpoint coming soon
Claude Code uses the Anthropic SDK (Messages API), which is different from OpenAI's Chat Completions API. Our Anthropic-compatible passthrough endpoint is in development — ETA this week. For now, AIPower is fully usable with any tool that uses the OpenAI SDK:Cursor,Continue.dev,Cline,Open WebUI — all work today with Claude routed through our gateway.
Want early access? Reply to the intake form — we're prioritizing China-based Claude Code users.
Same Claude model, accessible from China today. Your tool just needs to support OpenAI SDK with custom base_url (most do).

# Claude Sonnet 4 — best for code (same as Claude Code uses)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="anthropic/claude-sonnet",
messages=[
{"role": "user", "content": "Refactor this Python to use async/await: ..."}
],
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)Same Claude Sonnet 4 model. Same quality. Just routed through our gateway — accessible from China, paid via WeChat.
Most modern AI coding tools accept a custom base URL:
# Cursor: Settings → Models → API Provider → Custom OpenAI-compat
# base URL: https://api.aipower.me/v1
# model: anthropic/claude-sonnet
# Continue.dev: ~/.continue/config.json
# "models": [{ "provider": "openai", "apiBase": "https://api.aipower.me/v1",
# "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet", "apiKey": "..." }]
# Cline: Settings → API Provider → OpenAI Compatible
# base URL: https://api.aipower.me/v1
# model: anthropic/claude-sonnetPer-tool guides: Cursor · Continue.dev · Cline.
api.aipower.me hits Cloudflare edge POPs (Beijing / Shanghai / Shenzhen). No VPN. No GFW issues. Same latency as accessing from Hong Kong.
WeChat Pay (¥) and Alipay (¥/USD) supported via Stripe. AI POWER LIMITED is HK entity → no Stripe China-card-decline issues.
Hong Kong commercial receipt on every payment. CN VAT fapiao available for enterprise procurement (contact for details).
Same API key works for GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, DeepSeek V3 + R1, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, Doubao, MiniMax. Mix Claude + DeepSeek across your AI tools for cost optimization.
Anthropic-native /v1/messages passthrough endpoint is in development — ETA this week. Once shipped, you'll be able to set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to AIPower and Claude Code will work transparently. Sign up for early access via /team-intake?plan=byok.
Same model — we route to Anthropic's official API. Speed is comparable (~50-100ms latency from China via Cloudflare edge, vs ~30ms from US). Token output speed identical (provider-side).
All supported via OpenAI Chat Completions API today (Cursor, Continue.dev, Cline use this). Tool use, vision, streaming SSE all work. The Anthropic Messages API passthrough (for Claude Code specifically) is in development.
Same per-token pricing as direct Anthropic ($3.60/M input, $18/M output for Sonnet 4). No markup. AIPower's value is the gateway/billing/access — see /pricing for full breakdown.
Yes — same approach. Each tool reads either OPENAI_BASE_URL or ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL from env. Set both to AIPower and all your AI tools route through us. Per-tool guides at /cursor /continue-dev /cline.
First top-up adds +100 bonus calls. Pay via WeChat in 30 seconds. No VPN setup.
