Yes, some form of provider login/setup is required, but it does not have to be an Anthropic login.

OpenClaude can run against multiple backends:

• Anthropic
• OpenAI-compatible APIs
• Ollama
• Gemini
• GitHub Models
• Codex

If you are trying to use a local or non-Anthropic provider, the easiest path is to configure that provider before launch or via /provider once inside the app.

For local Ollama, for example:

Windows PowerShell

$env:CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
$env:OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434/v1"
$env:OPENAI_MODEL="llama3.1:8b"
openclaude

So the short answer is:

• yes, setup/login is required for the provider you want to use
• no, it does not have to be Anthropic specifically

If you want, reply with which provider you are trying to use, and we can give you the exact setup steps for that one.

Adding to the earlier reply: if you are trying to use a local or non-Anthropic provider, the fastest path is usually:

# For Ollama (fully local, free)
export CLAUDE_CODE_USE_OPENAI=1
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1
export OPENAI_MODEL=llama3.1:8b
export OPENAI_API_KEY=ollama
openclaude

Or just run /provider inside OpenClaude and select your provider interactively.

If you are still seeing a login prompt that does not let you past it, tell us which provider you want and we can give you the exact steps.
