How to Configure Claude Code to Use Gemini‑3‑Pro via the Quotio AI Command Center
This guide walks through using Quotio, a macOS menu‑bar application, to aggregate AI model quotas and set up a local proxy so Claude Code can route requests through the Gemini‑3‑Pro endpoint, with step‑by‑step screenshots and environment‑variable configuration.
Quotio is a native macOS menu‑bar application designed to manage quotas for various AI coding assistants such as Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Tongyi Qianwen, Vertex AI, and Antigravity. It functions as a local proxy service that consolidates multiple accounts into a single "account pool" and performs intelligent scheduling.
Enabling the Local Proxy
In Quotio’s settings, turn on Local Proxy Mode (see screenshot). Then start the proxy from the dashboard (screenshot). Once the proxy is running, note the API endpoint displayed:
http://127.0.0.1:8317/v1Mapping Claude Code to the Proxy
Open the Agent selection, choose the provider you are using, and map its model to a Claude Code‑compatible model (screenshot). Click the Apply button to save the configuration.
Launching Claude Code
Return to the terminal and start Claude Code. If you prefer not to specify the API endpoint each time, set an environment variable once:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8317/v1Subsequent launches will automatically use the proxy.
Fallback and Additional Features
Quotio also supports automatic model fallback: when the Gemini quota is exhausted, it can switch to a backup provider, though this article does not explore the details.
