Xcode

Xcode’s Coding Assistant runs a Claude agent under the hood, and reads its endpoint and headers from a settings file. Point it at Edgee to reduce token costs with lossless compression and gain full observability over every session.

Manual setup

The Coding Assistant reads ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS from its agent settings file. Create or edit ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/ClaudeAgentConfig/settings.json:

{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://edgee.io",
    "ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS": "x-edgee-api-key:<YOUR_EDGEE_API_KEY>"
  }
}

Replace <YOUR_EDGEE_API_KEY> with your actual Edgee API key from the Edgee Console.

Restart Xcode for the change to take effect. The Coding Assistant now routes through Edgee, and token compression is enabled automatically.

Benefits

Cost reduction

Edgee’s token compression reduces the tokens sent to and from the model, with no change to output quality.

Observability

Every request is logged in the Edgee Console with token counts, latency, and cost breakdowns.

Reliability

Automatic retry and fallback across providers keeps your sessions running even when a provider has issues.

No new tools

Keep using the Coding Assistant inside Xcode, requests route through Edgee transparently.
