Welcome to Chapter 3: Provider Configuration and Transformer Strategy. In this part of Claude Code Router Tutorial: Multi-Provider Routing and Control Plane for Claude Code, you will build an intuitive mental model first, then move into concrete implementation details and practical production tradeoffs.
This chapter focuses on building reliable provider definitions and transformation pipelines.
- configure providers with environment-variable-safe secrets
- select transformers by provider API compatibility needs
- understand global vs model-scoped transformer application
- avoid brittle provider configs that fail under load
| Field | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
name |
routing and model reference key |
api_base_url |
provider endpoint compatibility |
api_key |
secure auth, ideally via env interpolation |
models |
allowed model surface for routing |
transformer |
request/response compatibility adjustments |
You now have a stable foundation for provider onboarding and transformer management.

The sidebars module in docs/sidebars.ts handles a key part of this chapter's functionality:
import type { SidebarsConfig } from '@docusaurus/plugin-content-docs';
const sidebars: SidebarsConfig = {
tutorialSidebar: [
{
type: 'category',
label: 'CLI',
link: {
type: 'generated-index',
title: 'Claude Code Router CLI',
description: 'Command-line tool usage guide',
slug: 'category/cli',
},
items: [
'cli/intro',
'cli/installation',
'cli/quick-start',
