Hey Product Hunt community! ๐
I built ClaudeGate to solve a big challenge for developers using Claude Code CLI: vendor lock-in and high API costs.
Claude Code is one of the most powerful agentic coding tools, but it is natively locked to Anthropic's cloud endpoints. ClaudeGate acts as a lightweight, secure local bridge that translates Anthropic Messages API requests into standard OpenAI-compatible completions.
With ClaudeGate, you can:
โข Power Claude Code 100% offline & private using Ollama, LM Studio, or vLLM
โข Switch between DeepSeek V4/R1, Google Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, and 24+ presets
โข Avoid crashes with automatic multi-provider failover and zero-crash streaming
โข Protect credentials with automatic PII & API key redaction
The project is 100% free and open-source under the MIT license.
I'd love to hear your feedback, answer any questions, and see what models you pair with Claude Code! ๐
