This tool manages a LiteLLM proxy running with: litellm --config ~/.claude-code-mate/config.yaml

Quick Start

Start the LiteLLM proxy:

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your-api-key
ccm start

Set up the environment variables according to the output instructions:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://0.0.0.0:4000
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk-1234567890

Then run Claude Code with your desired model:

claude --model claude-3.5-haiku

Configuration

UI disabled (YAML-based)

Default config (at ~/.claude-code-mate/config.yaml):

general_settings:
  master_key: sk-1234567890

model_list:
  - model_name: claude-3.5-haiku
    litellm_params:
      model: openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-haiku
      api_key: os.environ/OPENROUTER_API_KEY
      api_base: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

Edit the config as needed, then restart the proxy to apply changes:

ccm restart

Note that you need to update the environment variables if master_key is changed.

UI enabled (UI-based)

If you find it cumbersome to manually edit the config file, you can use the Admin UI.

[!NOTE] The models configured in ~/.claude-code-mate/config.yaml are considered static in the UI: they cannot be edited or deleted via the UI. For better experience, it's recommended to configure all models via the UI if you like to use the UI.

Admin UI

If you installed Claude Code Mate with Admin UI enabled, you can access the UI for model management and usage tracking:

ccm ui

[!NOTE] The default username and password are admin and sk-1234567890 (i.e., the master_key) respectively.
