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
