Migrate to Emby in Minutes

Switching from platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Together, or your own OpenAI-compatible backend?
Emby makes migration simple — no code rewrites, no lock-in, and instant compatibility with your existing tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Kilo Code, Warp, Aider, and OpenWebUI. Emby is fully OpenAI & Anthropic compatible, so most users only need to swap their API key and base URL.

​
Quick Migration (Most Users)

If your current setup already uses an OpenAI-style interface, simply update: 
OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-emby-key>
OPENAI_API_BASE=https://api.emby.dev/v1
You’re done.
Your tools continue to work — but now with predictable pricing, EU hosting, and fast GPU-backed open-source models.

​
Tool-Specific Migration Guides

Below are the most common tools developers switch to Emby from.
Everything stays compatible using the same OpenAI-style configuration.

​

  2. Select OpenAI Compatible

    Cursor now uses Emby with no additional changes.

​
Claude Code (CLI)

How to Migrate Claude Code to Emby

Claude Code works perfectly with any OpenAI-compatible API.

Set the environment variables:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.emby.dev/v1
