Reusable Go SDK for embedding the proxy (see docs/sdk-usage.md)
CLIProxyAPI includes integrated support for Amp CLI and Amp IDE extensions, enabling you to use your Google/ChatGPT/Claude OAuth subscriptions with Amp's coding tools:
Provider route aliases for Amp's API patterns (/api/provider/{provider}/v1...)
Management proxy for OAuth authentication and account features
Smart model fallback with automatic routing
Model mapping to route unavailable models to alternatives (e.g., claude-opus-4.5 → claude-sonnet-4)
Security-first design with localhost-only management endpoints
When you need the request/response shape of a specific backend family, use the provider-specific paths instead of the merged /v1/... endpoints:
Use /api/provider/{provider}/v1/messages for messages-style backends.
Use /api/provider/{provider}/v1beta/models/... for model-scoped generate endpoints.
Use /api/provider/{provider}/v1/chat/completions for chat-completions backends.
These routes help you select the protocol surface, but they do not by themselves guarantee a unique inference executor when the same client-visible model name is reused across multiple backends. Inference routing is still resolved from the request model/alias. For strict backend pinning, use unique aliases, prefixes, or otherwise avoid overlapping client-visible model names.
