## What it is
A lightweight local proxy service that exposes ChatGPT Codex Desktop's Responses API through standard OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and Ollama-compatible endpoints. It lets any compatible AI client (Cursor, Claude Code, Continue, etc.) use Codex coding models with just a ChatGPT account.

## Use cases
- use Codex models in Cursor via OpenAI-compatible API
- connect Claude Code to ChatGPT Codex backend
- expose Codex Desktop as an OpenAI chat completions endpoint
- route AI coding clients through a local ChatGPT proxy
- use a ChatGPT account as a backend for Continue or other AI editors
- self-host an OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini-compatible gateway for Codex

## When to choose
- you have a ChatGPT account and want to use Codex models in third-party AI coding clients
- you need OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini protocol compatibility for Codex
- you want a local, self-hosted proxy rather than paying for separate API access

## When to avoid
- you need a commercially licensed tool - the project carries a non-commercial license
- you need production-grade, officially supported API access rather than an unofficial proxy
- you don't have a ChatGPT account or Codex Desktop access
