anthropic-proxy

A proxy server that transforms Anthropic API requests to OpenAI format and sends it to openrouter.ai. This enables you to use Anthropic's API format while connecting to OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Usage

With this command, you can start the proxy server with your OpenRouter API key on port 3000:

OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key npx anthropic-proxy

Environment variables:

• OPENROUTER_API_KEY: Your OpenRouter API key (required when using OpenRouter)
• ANTHROPIC_PROXY_BASE_URL: Custom base URL for the transformed OpenAI-format message (default: openrouter.ai)
• PORT: The port the proxy server should listen on (default: 3000)
• REASONING_MODEL: The reasoning model to use (default: google/gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05:free)
• COMPLETION_MODEL: The completion model to use (default: google/gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05:free)
• DEBUG: Set to 1 to enable debug logging

Note: When ANTHROPIC_PROXY_BASE_URL is set to a custom URL, the OPENROUTER_API_KEY is not required.
