Verify
After saving, run the following command to verify:
claude -p "Hello"
Configure Context Window Size
Claude Code defaults to a 200K context window. If the model supports 1M, extend it to 1M (1,000,000 tokens).
Method 1: Set via environment variableAdd CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS to the env field in ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic",
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "qwen3.7-plus",
"CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS": "1000000"
}
}
Method 2: Use a model name suffix
Append [1m] to the model name. This works with Model Studio models that support a 1M context window:
{
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://{WorkspaceId}.cn-beijing.maas.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic",
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "qwen3.7-plus[1m]",
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "qwen3.7-plus[1m]",
"ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "qwen3.7-plus[1m]",
"CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL": "qwen3.7-plus[1m]"
}
}
After modifying the configuration, open a new terminal window to restart Claude Code for the changes to take effect.
Permission modes
Claude Code provides six permission modes:
default: Prompts for confirmation before every operation.acceptEdits: Approves file edits automatically. Other operations still prompt for confirmation.plan: Read-only planning mode. No changes are executed.dontAsk: Does not prompt. An operation that would require a prompt is rejected directly.bypassPermissions: Bypasses all permission checks.delegate: Delegated mode.
Use --permission-mode to set the default permission mode for a session:
claude --permission-mode plan
claude --permission-mode acceptEdits
Method 2: Interactive command
Enter /permissions in a session to manage pre-approve and pre-deny rules for the bash, edit, and MCP tools.
Configure the permissions field in ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"permissions": {
"allow": ["Bash(git:*)", "Read", "Edit"],
"deny": ["Bash(rm:*)"],
"defaultMode": "default"
}
}

Error Codes
If you encounter errors during configuration, refer to the FAQ documentation for your billing plan:

- Coding Plan: Coding Plan FAQ
FAQ
How do I use savings plans and resource plans with pay-as-you-go?
The pay-as-you-go setup remains the same: use your general Model Studio API key and Base URL. After you purchase a savings plan or resource plan, it takes effect automatically and eligible usage is deducted automatically. See Savings plans and resource plans.
Requests return 401 invalid_api_key
The API key type does not match ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Model Studio provides three access methods, and each access method uses a different base URL and a dedicated API key.
Access method | Base URL | API key |
|---|---|---|
Token Plan |
| Token Plan API key |
Pay-as-you-go | Model Studio API key (starts with | |
Coding Plan | Coding Plan dedicated API key |
Troubleshooting steps:
- Check the request URL. Check
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URLin~/.claude/settings.json. - Confirm the API key type. Using the table above, confirm that your API key type matches the base URL.
- Correct the configuration. When you use a Model Studio Pay-as-you-go API key, set
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URLtohttps://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/apps/anthropic.
After starting Claude Code, the interface displays "Unable to connect to Anthropic services. Failed to connect to api.anthropic.com: ERR_BAD_REQUEST"
Claude Code is connecting to the official Anthropic service instead of Alibaba Cloud Model Studio. This usually means the environment variables are missing or have not taken effect. Follow these steps:
- Check the configuration. Run the
/statuscommand after starting Claude Code. Verify thatANTHROPIC_BASE_URLandANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKENpoint to the Model Studio address. If the output is empty or shows a non-Model Studio address, check thesettings.jsonconfiguration. - Verify hasCompletedOnboarding. Confirm that
hasCompletedOnboardingis set totruein~/.claude.json. Without this, Claude Code attempts to connect to the official Anthropic service for login verification on startup. - Open a new terminal. After editing the configuration file, open a new terminal window and run
claudefor the changes to take effect. - Update Claude Code. If the issue persists after all the steps above, the Claude Code version may be outdated. Run
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latestto update to the latest version, then try again.
Model switching does not take effect when using the legacy interface
The legacy compatible interface https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v2/apps/claude-code-proxy only supports deprecated models. Specifying other models has no effect. To use available models, migrate to the new interface by following the configuration in this document.
CC Switch reports "No available model list endpoint found. Check the Base URL or confirm that the provider has opened the port" when adding a provider
This message comes from the connectivity check CC Switch runs when saving a provider: it probes a model list endpoint (such as /v1/models) against the configured request URL. Model Studio's Anthropic-compatible endpoint (ending in /apps/anthropic) only provides the messages endpoint /v1/messages and does not provide a model list endpoint, so the probe returns 404 and CC Switch reports "No available model list endpoint found".
This message does not affect normal use of Claude Code and can be ignored. Claude Code sends conversations through /v1/messages, and the models it uses are specified directly by the model mapping in CC Switch's Advanced options, without relying on auto-discovery from a model list endpoint. When the request URL and API Key are configured correctly, simply click Enable and start a new Claude Code session to chat normally.
If you still cannot chat, verify that the request URL ends in /apps/anthropic without an extra /v1, and that you have filled in the models supported by your plan in the model mapping under Advanced options.
Model mapping in CC Switch returns AccessDenied
If model calls fail in Claude Code with an AccessDenied error (HTTP 403, code: access_denied) after you configure the model mapping, check whether the model is marked as Upcoming deprecation in Model Studio console > Model Gallery. Models marked for upcoming deprecation still appear in the list, but API calls return 403 AccessDenied. Follow these steps:
- Check whether the model is marked for deprecation. In Model Studio console > Model Gallery, search for the model you are using and check its status label.
- Switch to the latest available model. Replace the legacy model (such as
qwen-coder-turbo-0919) in the model mapping with the latest available model (such asqwen3.8-max). - Reconfigure the model mapping and test. Update the model mapping under Advanced options in CC Switch, click Enable, and start a new Claude Code session to verify.
NotePay attention to the model lifecycle. Models marked for upcoming deprecation in Model Studio console > Model Gallery may become unavailable at any time. You can check a model's availability status there.
