Show HN: Cliproxy-rs, a Rust port of the CLIProxyAPI LLM subscription proxy
Cliproxy-rs is a Rust rewrite of CLIProxyAPI that runs locally and exposes a single address for coding tools to use existing AI subscriptions. It translates between Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini formats, monitors plan limits, and rotates across multiple accounts with strategies like round-robin and fill-first. It installs via a one-line command and includes a dashboard for account management.
- for who
- Developers with paid AI subscriptions who use coding agents like Claude Code, Codex CLI or Cursor.
- why now
- Newly released Rust proxy enables immediate sharing of existing AI subscriptions across coding tools.
- what changes
- They can share subscriptions across tools, balance API usage across accounts, and monitor plan limits in one dashboard.
- to do
- Run the one-line install script, sign in to accounts in the dashboard, and configure tools to point to the local proxy.
key points
- Rust rewrite of CLIProxyAPI, reads same config and account files.
- Serves Anthropic, OpenAI and Gemini APIs on port 8317 with client key.
