Anthropic restricts third-party Claude Code access
3x SOURCES 🌐📅 2026-01-10
⚡ Score: 8.2
+++ Anthropic banned third-party Claude wrappers exploiting pricing gaps, calling it "spoofing." OpenAI's immediate open-source pivot feels less like principle and more like strategic theater, but both moves reveal the real cost of distribution wars in AI. +++
🎯 API integration policies • Ethical concerns with Anthropic • Impact on third-party tools
💬 "This is why the supported way to use Claude in your own tools is via the API."
• "The ToS is concerning, I have concerns with Anthropic in general, but this policy enforcement is not problematic to me."
"anthropic banned accounts using claude max through third-party harnesses (roo code, opencode, etc). called it "spoofing" and "abuse filters."
