SubProxy: Subscription-to-API Gateway

Developers are currently being double-charged by paying for monthly LLM subscriptions while simultaneously incurring per-token costs for API usage in their dev tools. SubProxy wraps your existing Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus accounts into an OpenAI-compatible interface, allowing you to power CLI agents and IDE extensions using your flat-rate subscription.

Comment on: OCP – Use your Claude Pro/Max subscription as an OpenAI-compatible API($0 extra)

I got tired of paying for Claude Max and then paying again for API access in my dev tools. OCP is a single-file Node proxy that sits between your tools and the Claude CLI. It translates OpenAI chat/completions calls into claude -p invocations, so your existing subscription covers everything.Works with anything that takes an OPENAI_BASE_URL — I use it with OpenClaw, OpenCode, and Cline running concurrently. Added a small CLI (ocp usage) that reads the rate-limit headers so you can check session/weekly utilization without opening the browser.Setup is one command: node setup.mjs. Runs as a launch

Comment on: The Warp Agent CLI

So this is a competitor to something like OpenCode or Pi? I suspect for most developers, they are using Claude Code or Codex CLI mainly just so they don't have to pay-per-token and can use the subscription products - which I assume can't be done with Warp Agent?
