What
Claude Code can send usage metrics using OpenTelemetry, a standard format for reporting them. In a remote session (one running on a server rather than your computer), it now has another route for them. It is used when all of these hold:
Metrics then go to that address, signed with CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ACCESS_TOKEN . This route is checked before the existing route that uses ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL .
Why
Metrics from cloud sessions can be collected using the session's own credentials, without separate ones.

Names in this entry
env CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ACCESS_TOKEN Remote settings can now supply many more environment variables, including auth tokens and home directory paths.
env CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE Remote sessions started from review can skip writing some state to disk.
env OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT In remote sessions, usage metrics can now go to the session's own metrics address, signed with CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ACCESS_TOKEN
env SESSION_INGRESS_URL A decoy tool tells the model browser tools already exist, only active in a specific remote session profile.
env CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID Commands blocked in cloud sessions now tell you the exact local command to run instead.
env ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL Override the API endpoint to route requests through a proxy or gateway. When set to a non-first-party host, MCP tool search is disabled by default. Set ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH=true if your proxy forwards tool_reference blocks. As of v2.1.196, Remote Control is disabled when this points at a host other than api.anthropic.com, matching its behavior on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, and Microsoft Foundry
