Checked on GitHub.
Overview
A Python server that exposes the Anthropic /v1/messages endpoint and translates requests into OpenAI-style API calls, so the Claude Code CLI can run against OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama or any compatible provider. Requests for haiku, sonnet and opus models are mapped to configurable SMALL_MODEL, MIDDLE_MODEL and BIG_MODEL values. Tool calls, SSE streaming and base64 images are converted.
Who it is for: Claude Code users who want to run it on non-Anthropic models
Strengths
- Maps haiku, sonnet and opus requests to separate backend models via env vars
- Converts tool use, SSE streaming and base64 image input
- Works with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama or any OpenAI-compatible base URL
- Optional ANTHROPIC_API_KEY setting restricts which clients can use the proxy
Weaknesses
- MAX_TOKENS_LIMIT defaults to 4096, which may cut long Claude Code outputs
- No tagged releases
- Only one test script is mentioned; coverage is unknown
- README describes MIDDLE_MODEL inconsistently (opus in one place, sonnet in another)
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker + Compose
- Needs OpenAI-compatible API provider, Claude Code CLI
- Models: OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Ollama, OpenAI-compatible APIs
- port 8082
