## What it is
A self-hosted proxy API gateway for the Kiro API (Amazon Q Developer / AWS CodeWhisperer) that exposes Claude and other models through OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints. Built in Python with FastAPI, it lets any compatible client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, OpenAI SDK, LangChain, etc.) use models available via a Kiro subscription.

## Use cases
- use free Claude models with Claude Code or Cursor
- expose Kiro/Amazon Q models via an OpenAI-compatible API
- connect LangChain or OpenAI SDK to Claude through a local proxy
- use Anthropic /v1/messages API with tools that only support OpenAI format
- route coding assistants like Cline or Roo Code through Kiro models
- self-host a gateway for streaming LLM responses from AWS CodeWhisperer

## When to choose
- you have a Kiro IDE/CLI subscription and want to use its models in other clients
- you need OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoints backed by Claude models
- you want a self-hosted, streaming-capable proxy gateway in Python

## When to avoid
- you have no Kiro/Amazon Q account or subscription
- you need production-grade, officially supported LLM access rather than a community proxy
- you are uncomfortable with potential terms-of-service implications of proxying free-tier models
