Claude Code CLI Proxy
Convert claude desktop as API and save extra API credits.
If you’re using Claude Code with a subscription, but also paying separately for LLM API keys to power your agents or applications… you might be paying twice. 👀 I built claude-cli-proxy to turn your locally authenticated Claude Code CLI into a local API server.

Just use the Claude Code subscription you already have. Try it:npx claude-cli-proxy
