# 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](https://github.com/tiennm99/penny-pincher-provider) 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](https://github.com/musistudio/claude-code-router)?
|
|
|
|
Local proxies only work on a single machine. This project serves multiple machines simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
### Why not use [LiteLLM](https://github.com/BerriAI/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](https://github.com/musistudio/claude-code-router)
|
|
- **Enterprise/Team usage with GUI management** → Use [LiteLLM](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm)
|
|
- **Advanced routing, load balancing, rate limiting** → Use [LiteLLM](https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm) or similar
