Connect Claude Code

Claude Code routes through Sentinel by reading ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL from its settings. Activation sets this for you.

1. Open Sentinel and click Activate Sentinel. This writes the following into ~/.claude/settings.json:

   {
     "env": {
       "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:47284"
     }
   }

   (plus OTEL telemetry variables that power the Metrics tab).

2. Restart Claude Code so it re-reads its settings.

3. Run any command and confirm it passes through the daemon:

   tail -f ~/.sentinel/daemon.log

Proxy not intercepting requests?

Verify ~/.claude/settings.json contains ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:47284. If it’s missing, click Activate Sentinel again, then restart Claude Code. See Troubleshooting.

Deactivating

Use the ⋯ menu → Uninstall Sentinel… (or the activation toggle) to remove the variables and send Claude Code back to calling api.anthropic.com directly. The change is written atomically and takes effect the next time Claude Code starts.
