Claude Proxy is an open source proxy tool designed for developers, with the core functionality of converting the request format of Anthropic's Claude API to an OpenAI API-compatible format in real-time. This conversion mechanism solves two key problems:
- Front-end compatibility issues: Many existing AI application tools (e.g. LibreChat, SillyTavern, etc.) natively support only the OpenAI API format, using this agent provides seamless access to the Claude model.
- Development efficiency issues: developers no longer need to write differentiated calling code for different models, and can use OpenAI format to call multiple large language models across platforms.
The technical implementation of the Bash script, through the middle layer protocol conversion: receive OpenAI format request → converted to Claude native API format → return OpenAI structured response. The project is hosted on GitHub and the code is transparent, especially suitable for enterprise-level development scenarios that require rapid integration of multiple models.
