ClewdR

ClewdR is a Rust proxy for Claude (Claude.ai, Claude Code).
It keeps resource usage low, serves OpenAI-style endpoints, and ships with a small React admin UI for managing cookies and settings.

---

Highlights

• Works with Claude web and Claude Code.
• Single static binary for Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android; Docker image available.
• Web dashboard shows live status and supports hot config reloads.
• Drops into existing OpenAI-compatible clients while keeping native Claude formats.
• Typical production footprint: <10 MB RAM, <1 s startup, ~15 MB binary.

Supported Endpoints

Service	Endpoint
Claude.ai	http://127.0.0.1:8484/v1/messages
Claude.ai OpenAI compatible	http://127.0.0.1:8484/v1/chat/completions
Claude Code	http://127.0.0.1:8484/code/v1/messages
Claude Code OpenAI compatible	http://127.0.0.1:8484/code/v1/chat/completions

Streaming responses work on every endpoint.

Quick Start

1. Download the latest release for your platform from GitHub.
   Linux/macOS example:

   curl -L -o clewdr.tar.gz https://github.com/Xerxes-2/clewdr/releases/latest/download/clewdr-linux-x64.tar.gz
   tar -xzf clewdr.tar.gz && cd clewdr-linux-x64
   chmod +x clewdr

2. Run the binary:

   ./clewdr

3. Open http://127.0.0.1:8484 and enter the admin password shown in the console (or container logs if using Docker).

Using the Web Admin

• Dashboard shows health, connected clients, and rate-limit status.
• Claude tab stores browser cookies; paste cookie: value pairs and save.
• Settings lets you rotate the admin password, set upstream proxies, and reload config without restarting.

If you forget the password, delete clewdr.toml and start the binary again. Docker users can mount a persistent folder for that file.

Configure Upstreams

Claude

1. Export your Claude.ai cookies (e.g., via browser devtools).
2. Paste them into the Claude tab; ClewdR tracks their status automatically.
3. Optionally set an outbound proxy or fingerprint overrides if Claude blocks your region.

Client Examples

SillyTavern:

{
  "api_url": "http://127.0.0.1:8484/v1/chat/completions",
