Independent experimental project. Uses undocumented web interfaces and is subject to website changes, account limits, and the provider's terms.

04 / GOOD TO KNOW

A few answers.

Something else on your mind?

Open an issue
Is this the official Anthropic API?+

No. This is an independent, experimental project using undocumented Claude web interfaces. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.

Do I need an Anthropic API key?+

The web adapter uses your own signed-in Claude session. The local API key authenticates clients to the bridge and is separate from an Anthropic API key.

Can the website run the bridge?+

No. This page demonstrates the connection using sample data. Install the Windows app to run a local endpoint. Upstream website changes may break compatibility.
