# Claude Code but with OpenAI Models 🧙‍♂️🔄 ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
**Use Claude Code with OpenAI Models** 🤝
A proxy server that lets you use Claude Code with OpenAI models like GPT-4o. 🌉
## Why Use This? 🤔
- Why not? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
## Quick Start ⚡
### Prerequisites
- OpenAI API key 🔑
### Setup 🛠️
1. **Clone this repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/1rgs/claude-code-openai.git
cd claude-code-openai
```
2. **Install UV**:
```bash
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
3. **Configure your API keys**:
Create a `.env` file with:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key
```
4. **Start the proxy server**:
```bash
uv run uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8082
```
### Using with Claude Code 🎮
1. **Install Claude Code** (if you haven't already):
```bash
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```
2. **Connect to your proxy**:
```bash
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8082 DISABLE_PROMPT_CACHING=1 claude
```
3. **That's it!** Your Claude Code client will now use OpenAI models through the proxy. 🎯
## Model Mapping 🗺️
The proxy automatically maps Claude models to OpenAI models:
| Claude Model | OpenAI Model |
|--------------|--------------|
| haiku | gpt-4o-mini |
| sonnet | o3-mini |
You can customize these mappings in `server.py` by editing the `validate_model` function. 🔧
## How It Works 🧩
This proxy works by:
1. **Receiving requests** in Anthropic's API format 📥
2. **Translating** the requests to OpenAI format via LiteLLM 🔄
3. **Sending** the translated request to OpenAI 📤
4. **Converting** the response back to Anthropic format 🔄
5. **Returning** the formatted response to the client ✅
The proxy handles both streaming and non-streaming responses, maintaining compatibility with all Claude clients. 🌊
