Error

Access to fetch at 'https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages' from origin ... has been blocked by CORS policy.

Fix

The Anthropic API only allows browser calls if you send the header anthropic-dangerous-direct-browser-access: true. Only do that when the user supplies their own API key. If your app owns the key, never ship it to the browser: call the API from a serverless function (Vercel API route) that reads the key from an env var.
