## What it is
A Python proxy server that translates Anthropic API requests so Anthropic clients like Claude Code can run against OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic backends via LiteLLM. It maps Claude model names (haiku/sonnet) to configurable alternative models.

## Use cases
- run claude code with openai models
- use claude code with gemini
- proxy anthropic api requests to openai
- map claude sonnet requests to gpt-4.1
- use claude code without an anthropic subscription
- route anthropic clients to vertex ai gemini models

## When to choose
- you want to use Claude Code but prefer OpenAI or Gemini models
- you need an Anthropic-compatible API endpoint backed by other providers
- you want transparent proxying to Anthropic with model name mapping

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade proxy with authentication and rate limiting
- you use non-Anthropic client tools that already support OpenAI APIs directly
- you require a maintained project with a license and long-term support
