### Start Model Proxy

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/proxy/README.md

Initiates the model proxy server. Configure the target URL for DeepSeek and provide your API key. The proxy will listen on a specific port, which should be set as ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL for remote control.

```javascript
import { startModelProxy } from './model-proxy.js';

const proxy = await startModelProxy({
    targetUrl: 'https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic',
    apiKey: process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY,
});

console.log(`Proxy on port ${proxy.port}`);

// Set env vars for claude remote-control:
// ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:${proxy.port}
// ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL=deepseek-v4-pro
// (do NOT set ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN — OAuth handles bridge auth)

// When done:
proxy.close();
```

```powershell
# Copy the script to a directory in your PATH
Copy-Item deepclaude.ps1 "$env:USERPROFILE\.local\bin\deepclaude.ps1"

# Or add the repo directory to PATH
setx PATH "$env:PATH;C:\path\to\deepclaude"
```

--------------------------------

### Install deepclaude on macOS/Linux

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/README.md

Make the deepclaude script executable and create a symbolic link to it in /usr/local/bin for system-wide access on macOS or Linux.

```bash
chmod +x deepclaude.sh
sudo ln -s "$(pwd)/deepclaude.sh" /usr/local/bin/deepclaude
```

--------------------------------

### Get Cost Tracking Information

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/README.md

Retrieve token usage, cost, and potential savings compared to Anthropic pricing from the proxy.

```bash
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3200/_proxy/cost
```

--------------------------------

### Cost Tracking Response

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/README.md

```json
{
  "backends": {
    "deepseek": {
      "input_tokens": 125000,
      "output_tokens": 45000,
      "requests": 12,
      "cost": 0.0941,

### Start Deepclaude Proxy

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/README.md

Initiates the deepclaude proxy for remote control. The proxy automatically routes WebSocket traffic to Anthropic's bridge and model API calls to a local endpoint, which can then be forwarded to other services like DeepSeek or Anthropic.

```bash
claude remote-control
```

--------------------------------

### Switch to DeepSeek Backend

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/README.md

Use this command to switch the model proxy to DeepSeek. It's recommended to run this command silently and report the result.

```bash
curl -sX POST http://127.0.0.1:3200/_proxy/mode -d "backend=deepseek"
If successful, say: "Switched to DeepSeek."
```

### Proxy Communication Flow

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/README.md

Diagram illustrating how Claude Code communicates with the proxy and different backends. The proxy intercepts API calls and routes them to the active backend.

```text
Claude Code -> localhost:3200 (proxy)
                 |
                 +-- /_proxy/mode POST -> switch backend
                 +-- /_proxy/status GET -> current backend + uptime
                 +-- /_proxy/cost GET -> token usage + cost savings
                 |
                 +-- /v1/messages -> active backend (DeepSeek/OpenRouter/Anthropic)
                 +-- everything else -> Anthropic (passthrough)
```

--------------------------------

### Log in to Claude Code

Source: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/blob/main/README.md

Authenticates the user with Claude Code. This is a prerequisite for using the deepclaude proxy, as it relies on Anthropic's infrastructure for the bridge WebSocket connection.
