You can see what each agent is working on, then review and merge their changes in one place. ## Configuring Conductor Conductor runs using your local Claude Code login. You can check your auth status by running `claude /login` in your terminal. Conductor also supports running Claude Code on OpenRouter, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Vercel AI Gateway, or any Anthropic API compatible provider. You can configure it to use Vercel AI Gateway, enabling you to: - Monitor traffic and token usage in your AI Gateway Overview - View detailed traces in Vercel Observability under AI - ### Create an API key Go to the [**AI Gateway**](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fai-gateway\&title=Go+to+AI+Gateway) section in the Vercel dashboard sidebar and click **API keys** to create a new API key. - ### Configure environment variables In Conductor, go to **Settings** -> **Env** to set environment variables. Add the following under **Claude Code**: ```bash ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/coding-agent" ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-vercel-ai-gateway-api-key" ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="" ``` `/coding-agent` is the [coding agent surface](/docs/cli/ai-gateway#the-coding-agent-surface), the default for agents without a dedicated endpoint. It carries no `/v1` because Claude Code appends `/v1/messages` itself. > **💡 Note:** Setting `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` to an empty string is required. This prevents > Claude Code from attempting to authenticate with Anthropic directly. Check out the [Claude Code docs](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) for a full list of environment variables. - ### Start using Conductor Your requests will now be routed through Vercel AI Gateway. You can verify this by checking your [AI Gateway Overview](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fai-gateway\&title=Go+to+AI+Gateway) in the Vercel dashboard. --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
