What is this?
CLIProxyAPI is a proxy server that exposes OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, and Grok compatible API endpoints, letting you access CLI-based AI accounts (Antigravity, ChatGPT Codex, Claude Code, Grok Build, Muse Code, Devin) through any standard OpenAI/Gemini/Claude-compatible client or SDK.

Run it as a Docker container (a docker-compose setup is provided) or build/run the Go binary directly, then point your OpenAI/Gemini/Claude-compatible client at its local endpoint and authenticate each provider via its CLI OAuth flow.What do I need to authenticate with each provider?You log in through each provider's own CLI OAuth flow (Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, Grok) rather than supplying separate API keys, though it also supports a Generative Language API key and OpenAI-compatible upstream providers via config.

No — since v6.10.0 CLIProxyAPI no longer ships built-in usage statistics; you need a separate companion tool like CPA Usage Keeper or CPA-Manager-Plus for dashboards and cost tracking.Does it support multiple accounts per provider?Yes, it supports multiple accounts per provider with round-robin load balancing for Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, and Grok, which is useful for teams or heavy usage hitting rate limits.
