Claude Central Gateway

A proxy for Claude Code that routes requests to your preferred third-party API provider. Easily hosted on Vercel, Netlify, and similar platforms.

Where to Find Cheap LLM Providers?

Check out this repo for a list of affordable LLM providers compatible with this gateway.

Philosophy

Minimal, simple, deploy anywhere.

Why This Project?

Why not use a local proxy, like Claude Code Router?

Local proxies only work on a single machine. This project serves multiple machines simultaneously.

Why not use LiteLLM?

LiteLLM requires a dedicated VPS, consumes more resources, and costs more to deploy.

Why no advanced features like routing or GUI management?

Built for personal use. Simplicity over features.

Not Suitable For

Single-machine localhost proxy → Highly recommend Claude Code Router
Enterprise/Team usage with GUI management → Use LiteLLM
Advanced routing, load balancing, rate limiting → Use LiteLLM or similar
