CLIProxyAPI: Expose CLI Services as Standardised LLM APIs

Repositoryrouter-for-me/CLIProxyAPITool

CLIProxyAPI is a Go-based proxy server that wraps CLI interfaces and accounts from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini/Antigravity, Kimi, and Grok into compatible local API endpoints.

Key points

  1. Acts as a local proxy server translating CLI logins and tools into standardised API interfaces.
  2. Compatible with OpenAI (including Responses), Google Gemini (including Interactions), and Claude endpoints or SDKs.
  3. Supports multiple CLI accounts alongside models such as GPT 5.6, Claude Fable 5, Gemini 3.5 Flash, Grok 4.5, and Kimi K3.
  4. Offers an optional desktop client, EasyCLIProxyAPI, featuring a configuration UI, system tray integration, and auto-updates.
  5. Distributed under the MIT open-source licence with over 52,000 GitHub stars.

Why it matters

Developers often have access to provider CLIs or subscriptions but lack standard API access to integrate these models into their existing tools and SDKs. CLIProxyAPI provides a unified, local compatibility layer.

Analysis

CLIProxyAPI addresses the challenge of accessing frontier models across different vendor CLIs by serving them through standard OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude protocol endpoints. Built in Go, the tool supports OAuth and multi-account setups. Backed by over 52,000 GitHub stars, close to 8,000 forks, recent maintenance in September 2026, and a dedicated desktop companion client (EasyCLIProxyAPI), the project demonstrates significant maturity and community traction. It is primarily designed for developers looking to unify multiple AI services locally under compatible API specifications.
