Who is CLIProxyAPI for?

Developers who use AI coding CLIs and want their accounts available to other tools; you should be comfortable with API keys, OAuth logins and running a local server, and should check each provider's terms.

What can you build with CLIProxyAPI?

Point an OpenAI-compatible app at your Codex or Gemini CLI login through one local endpoint. Use Claude-compatible tools with models from other providers by routing them through the proxy. Spread requests across several CLI accounts from a single address. Test the same script against different providers' models without changing the client code. Run the proxy from a desktop app with a tray icon instead of the command line.

Many AI coding tools come with their own command-line login, and each speaks a different API dialect. That makes it hard to use those accounts from your own scripts or from apps that expect a standard API.

CLIProxyAPI runs as a local server. You sign in with your provider accounts, then point any OpenAI (including Responses), Gemini (including Interactions) or Claude-compatible client or SDK at it. It can hold several CLI accounts at once.

The README lists Kimi, OpenAI (including Codex OAuth), Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini (API, AI Studio, Vertex AI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity), xAI Grok, Meta Muse and Devin. Which models you get depends on the account and channel. The part of the README provided is mostly provider and sponsor listings and has no install steps. A separate desktop client, EasyCLIProxyAPI, adds a graphical setup.

What it does

Several API dialects
Offers OpenAI (including Responses), Gemini (including Interactions) and Claude-compatible interfaces, so existing clients and SDKs can connect.
Many providers
Covers Kimi, OpenAI Codex, Claude, Gemini and Antigravity, Grok, Meta Muse Code and Devin accounts.
Multiple accounts
Supports several CLI accounts at once, reached locally through one server.
Flexible sign-in
Uses OAuth or API keys depending on the provider. Devin accounts connect with the --devin-login flag.
Desktop client
EasyCLIProxyAPI provides a configuration UI, automatic updates, a system tray icon and one-click start and stop.

Get started

The README excerpt gives no install commands. Check the repository's full documentation, or try the EasyCLIProxyAPI desktop client for a graphical setup, then sign in to your providers and point your client at the local server.

Commands are copied from the project's README. Read it on GitHub for the full setup.
