Claude Code CLI Proxy - Convert claude desktop as API and save extra API credits.

by
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. So your existing agents, SDKs and applications can use Claude through: No separate API key. No additional per-token API billing. Just use the Claude Code subscription you already have. Try it:npx claude-cli-proxy
