What is it?

pi-claude-code is an extension for Pi that lets you use a Claude Pro or Max subscription as a model provider. All Claude model requests are sent through the official Claude Code CLI running in non-interactive mode (claude -p).

Pi keeps control of conversation history, approvals, compaction and tool execution. Claude Code only handles the model call and never runs tools on its own. Authentication is delegated entirely to Claude Code, so the extension does not read or store your credentials.

The extension refuses to run if the environment sets an API key, proxy, or Bedrock, Vertex or Foundry override, to avoid silently changing how requests are billed. Usage counts against your normal subscription quota, and the project is marked experimental with an uncertain future given Anthropic's announced billing changes for claude -p.

Key features

  • 01Routes Claude model requests from Pi through the Claude Code CLI.
  • 02Uses existing Claude Code login; no separate credential storage.
  • 03Pi retains conversation history, approvals, compaction and tool execution.
  • 04Provides a /claude-code-status command to check installation and login.
  • 05Supports custom Claude Code executable path and config directory via environment variables.

Use cases

  • Using a Claude Pro or Max subscription inside the Pi coding agent.
  • Keeping Pi's tool execution and approval flow while using Claude models.
  • Avoiding a separate API key setup for Claude models in Pi.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install Claude Code CLI globally via npm

    npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
  2. 2

    Log in to Claude Code with your subscription

    claude auth login
  3. 3

    Install the extension into Pi

    pi install https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-claude-code

Things to know

  • The extension is experimental.
  • Requests count against your Claude subscription quota, and Anthropic's future billing for claude -p usage is uncertain.
  • Branching or changing settings mid-conversation starts a fresh process that replays the conversation, which can be slower and use more quota.
