Ollama provides compatibility with the [Anthropic Messages API](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/messages) to help connect existing applications to Ollama, including tools like Claude Code.
## Recommended models
For coding use cases, models like `glm-4.7:cloud`, `minimax-m2.1:cloud`, and `qwen3-coder` are recommended.
Pull a model before use:
```shell
ollama pull qwen3-coder
ollama pull glm-4.7:cloud
```

To use Ollama with tools that expect the Anthropic API (like Claude Code), set these environment variables:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="" # required but ignored
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434

### Recommended models
For coding use cases, models like `glm-4.7`, `minimax-m2.1`, and `qwen3-coder` are recommended.
Download a model before use:
```shell
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434 ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=ollama claude --model qwen3-coder
ollama pull qwen3-coder
```
> Note: Qwen 3 coder is a 30B parameter model requiring at least 24GB of VRAM to run smoothly. More is required for longer context lengths.
```shell
ollama pull glm-4.7:cloud
```
### Quick setup
```shell
ollama launch claude
```
This will prompt you to select a model, configure Claude Code automatically, and launch it. To configure without launching:
```shell
ollama launch claude --config
```
### Manual setup
Set the environment variables and run Claude Code:
```shell
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=ollama ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434 ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="" claude --model qwen3-coder
```
Or set the environment variables in your shell profile:
```shell
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=ollama
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=ollama
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""
```
Then run Claude Code with any Ollama model:
```shell
# Local models
claude --model qwen3-coder
claude --model gpt-oss:20b
# Cloud models
claude --model glm-4.7:cloud
claude --model minimax-m2.1:cloud
```
