High Performance LLM Reverse Proxy

What it solves

ClewdR is a proxy server that allows users to access Claude.ai and Claude Code via an API. It transforms the web-based interface of Claude into a programmable interface, enabling the use of Claude's models in third-party applications that expect either native Claude or OpenAI-compatible API endpoints.

How it works

The tool is written in Rust and operates as a single static binary. It requires the user to provide Claude.ai session cookies to authenticate requests. Once configured, it serves several endpoints that map the web interface's internal API to standard API formats. It supports streaming responses and provides a web-based admin panel for managing cookies, passwords, and outbound proxy settings.

Who it’s for

Developers and power users who want to integrate Claude's web-based capabilities into other AI clients (like SillyTavern, Continue, or Cursor) without needing a direct official API key, or those who want to consolidate multiple Claude interfaces into a single proxy.

Highlights

  • Multi-platform support: Runs as a single executable on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android.
  • OpenAI Compatibility: Provides endpoints that allow Claude to be used in any OpenAI-compatible client.
  • Lightweight: Typically uses less than 10 MB of RAM and starts in under one second.
  • Integrated Admin UI: Includes a built-in web interface for managing cookies and server configuration.
