The official README describes the project as a proxy server for CLI models, including support for OpenAI Codex and Claude Code via OAuth, streaming and non-streaming responses, function calling, multimodal input, and reusable Go SDK docs. The project's docs moved beyond a single README into a help.router-for.me documentation site and a repository docs tree covering SDK usage, advanced executors and translators, access, watchers, and custom-provider examples. ### Adoption history CLIProxyAPI had very strong package and GitHub adoption signals for a young project: GitHub repository metadata showed tens of thousands of stars and thousands of forks, while the Homebrew formula API reported tens of thousands of on-request installs over the preceding year and several hundred `--HEAD` installs. The README lists many projects based on or inspired by CLIProxyAPI, including vibeproxy, CPA management dashboards, quota inspectors, desktop wrappers, VS Code integrations, and sidecar patterns for coding agents. ### How it is used Users run the proxy locally, authenticate CLI-backed providers through OAuth or API-key style flows, and point OpenAI-, Gemini-, Claude-, or Codex-compatible clients and SDKs at the local service. The README emphasizes multi-account load balancing, provider translation, management APIs, and integration with AI coding tools. ### Why package nerds care CLIProxyAPI is package-nerd significant because it packages a fast-moving 2025-2026 AI tooling pattern: turning subscription-backed CLI tools into local API-compatible endpoints. Its Homebrew formula, Scoop listing, management-center ecosystem, and numerous downstream wrappers show how package managers became the distribution layer for local AI proxy infrastructure. ### Timeline - 2025-07-01: GitHub repository is created. - 2025-2026: README documents OAuth support for Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, and other CLI-backed providers. - 2026: Homebrew formula tracks stable release 7.2.45 from the official GitHub tag archive. - 2026: README lists many downstream projects based on or inspired by CLIProxyAPI. ### Related projects - The official README lists based-on projects such as vibeproxy, CCS, Quotio, ProxyPilot, Claude Proxy VSCode, CPA-Manager-Plus, CLIProxyAPI Dashboard, ProxyPal, Panopticon, Tunnel Agent, and Universal Chat Provider. - The README also lists inspired or port projects such as 9Router, OmniRoute, PPAP, and Codex Switch. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - formula declares a Homebrew service ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
