DeepSeek Publishes Official Claude Code Integration Guide

Checked on June 23, 2026: DeepSeek's official Claude Code page now documents the Anthropic-compatible environment contract, native Web Search support, and an explicit mapping where Claude-style model names route to DeepSeek V4 Pro or Flash.

What we verified on June 23, 2026

  • DeepSeek now has an official Claude Code integration page inside the agent-integrations section of the API docs.
  • The official environment contract is concrete: DeepSeek publishes ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic, uses deepseek-v4-pro[1m] for the main Claude route, keeps deepseek-v4-flash on the lighter lane, and exposes CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL=max.
  • DeepSeek explicitly says Web Search is natively supported in Claude Code and that search-triggered summarization creates additional model-token cost.
  • The same page publishes a model-mapping rule for Claude-style names: claude-opus* maps to DeepSeek V4 Pro, while claude-haiku* and claude-sonnet* map to DeepSeek V4 Flash.
  • DeepSeek also says this mapping can help with the new Claude Desktop app's developer-mode model-name restrictions, which turns a community workaround pattern into a partially official routing story.
