foxl-ai Claude Code CLI
Use your Claude Pro or Max subscription directly in Foxl through the Claude Code CLI. No API key needed — authenticate once with SSO and Foxl auto-detects your credentials.
Setup
# Install Claude Code CLI
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
# Authenticate (opens browser for SSO login)
claude auth login
# Verify
claude --version
How It Works
Foxl spawns the claude CLI as a subprocess with streaming JSON output. Your subscription handles all authentication and billing — Foxl consumes zero relay credits.
The CLI is invoked with:
claude -p "prompt" --output-format stream-json --verbose --bare --include-partial-messages --dangerously-skip-permissions -m sonnet

claude-code/haiku |

Credential Detection
Foxl checks these locations (in order):
- macOS Keychain: service "Claude Code-credentials"
- Credential file:
~/.claude/.credentials.json(claudeAiOauthfield) - Windows Credential Manager: "Claude Code-credentials"
Features
- Token-level streaming (via
stream_event/content_block_delta) - Thinking/reasoning separation (displayed as collapsible reasoning in UI)
- Auto-detect credentials on startup
- No API key management needed
Troubleshooting
"Claude Code not configured"
Run claude auth login to authenticate. Make sure claude is in your PATH.
Slow first response
The first call may be slower as the CLI initializes. Subsequent calls are faster.
Token expired
Run claude auth login again. The CLI handles token refresh automatically in most cases.
