Is this the real Claude API?

Yes. Your requests are processed by the same Claude models (Opus 4.7, Sonnet 4.6, Haiku 4.5) with the same context windows and capabilities. The only difference is the price.

How do I switch from the official API?

Just change the base URL and API key. If you're using the Anthropic Python/Node SDK, it's a one-line change. Works with Claude Code too.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cryptocurrency — USDT (TRC20/ERC20), BTC, ETH, and 100+ other coins via Oxapay. Credits never expire.

Are there rate limits?

There are no fixed per-account caps. Throughput depends on system load, upstream provider availability, and the model in use — newer models often have tighter caps than older ones.

Do you store my prompts or data?

No. We don't log, store, or train on your API requests. Zero data retention policy on request content.

Why Goose burns tokens

Goose's MCP-first design means it spins up many tool servers and chains tool calls per request. Combined with autonomous planning, sessions routinely hit 100k+ tokens. Block's own dogfooding is on Claude — your invoice scales with your use.

FAQ

Does Goose support custom Anthropic endpoints?

Yes. Goose reads ANTHROPIC_HOST (or the equivalent provider-specific env). Set ANTHROPIC_HOST=https://claudeapi.cheap/api/proxy and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-cc-... and Goose works unchanged.

Will MCP extensions still work?

Yes. MCP tool servers run client-side. Goose orchestrates them. Our proxy only sees the LLM call — MCP is invisible to us.

Can I switch providers mid-session?

Yes. Goose's `/provider` slash command swaps providers. With our proxy, both Anthropic and OpenAI providers point at the same key — switching is one command, no re-auth.
