ai-relay

WebSocket relay that bridges AI coding agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Snowflake Cortex, and more) to any web interface — stream reasoning, tool calls, and file changes in real time.

Install

pip install ai-relay

Quick start

# Start the relay server (default: ws://0.0.0.0:8765)
ai-relay --port 8765

Then connect from OhWise Lab (or any WebSocket client) and send a handshake:

{"tool": "claude", "folder": "/path/to/project", "model": "claude-sonnet-4-6"}

The relay spawns the CLI process, streams all output as structured JSON events over WebSocket, and forwards your messages as stdin to the process.

Event types

Type	Description
session_start	Process spawned
session_end	Process exited (includes exit_code)
stdout / stderr	Raw output lines
reasoning	Agent thinking/planning text
tool_call	Agent invoking a tool (Read, Edit, Bash…)
tool_result	Result of a tool call
file_diff	File created or edited
response	Final answer text
quota_warning	API quota / rate limit detected
context_warning	Context window nearing limit (includes context_pct)
context_compacted	Context was compacted
error	Relay or process error
input_ack	Relay confirms your message was sent to the process

Sending commands

Send JSON over WebSocket:

{"text": "refactor the authentication module to use JWT"}

To send CLI commands (e.g. /compact, /clear):

{"text": "/compact"}
