## What it is
CC Gateway is a self-hosted reverse proxy that sits between Claude Code clients and the Anthropic API, normalizing device fingerprints, telemetry, and identity metadata to a single canonical profile. It rewrites environment dimensions, strips billing/fingerprint headers, sanitizes system prompt env blocks, and centralizes OAuth token management for multiple clients.

## Use cases
- stop claude code from sending device telemetry to anthropic
- hide my machine fingerprint from the claude api
- run claude code on multiple machines with one identity
- self-host a privacy proxy for anthropic api requests
- strip billing fingerprint headers from claude code requests
- share prompt cache across sessions to cut system prompt costs
- manage claude code oauth tokens centrally for a team

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code and want control over what telemetry and identity data leaves your network
- you run Claude Code on multiple machines and want a single canonical device identity
- you want centralized OAuth token management and zero-login client setup for several users
- you want to strip the billing fingerprint header to enable cross-session prompt cache sharing

## When to avoid
- you don't use Claude Code or the Anthropic API — the rewrites are Claude Code-specific
- you need a battle-tested production gateway — the project is explicitly alpha and advises testing with a non-primary account
- you're unwilling to accept the terms-of-service or account-risk implications of altering requests sent to the vendor
