Your AI Coding Assistant's Best Friend

A blazing-fast local proxy for AI coding assistants that gives you complete visibility into every LLM interaction. Zero configuration, sub-millisecond overhead, and powerful debugging capabilities.

⚡ Quick Start - Literally One Command

eval $(lunaroute-server env)

That's it! This single command:

✅ Starts LunaRoute server in the background
✅ Configures Claude Code (sets ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL)
✅ Configures Codex CLI (sets OPENAI_BASE_URL)
✅ Accepts both OpenAI and Anthropic formats simultaneously
✅ Tracks every token, tool call, and conversation

Start coding with your AI assistant immediately - both APIs are ready to use!

Alternative: Manual Setup

If you prefer to run the server manually:

# Terminal 1: Start the server
lunaroute-server

# Terminal 2: Point your AI tools to it
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8081  # For Claude Code
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8081/v1  # For Codex CLI

That's it. No API keys to configure, no YAML files to write, nothing. LunaRoute automatically:

✅ Accepts both OpenAI and Anthropic formats simultaneously
⚡ Runs in dual passthrough mode (zero normalization overhead)
🔑 Uses your existing API keys (from env vars or client headers)
📊 Tracks every token, tool call, and conversation
🎯 Routes requests based on model prefix (gpt-* → OpenAI, claude-* → Anthropic)

🎯 Why LunaRoute?

See Everything Your AI Does

Stop flying blind. LunaRoute records every interaction with zero configuration:

🔍 Debug AI conversations - See exactly what your assistant sends and receives
💰 Track token usage - Input, output, and thinking tokens broken down by session
🔧 Analyze tool performance - Which tools are slow? Which get used most?
📊 Measure overhead - Is it the LLM or your code that's slow?
🔎 Search past sessions - "How did the AI solve that bug last week?"

Zero Configuration, Maximum Power

# Literally just one command
eval $(lunaroute-server env)

What you get instantly:

⚡ Dual API support - OpenAI /v1/chat/completions + Anthropic /v1/messages
🚀 Passthrough mode - Sub-millisecond overhead, 100% API fidelity
🔑 Automatic auth - Uses environment variables or client-provided keys
📊 Session tracking - SQLite database + JSONL logs for deep analysis
🎨 Web UI - Browse sessions at http://localhost:8082
🔄 Background server - Detached process, continues running even after terminal closes

How it works:

$ lunaroute-server env
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081/v1
# LunaRoute server started on http://127.0.0.1:8081
# Web UI available at http://127.0.0.1:8082

$ eval $(lunaroute-server env)  # Sets env vars and starts server

$ # Now use your AI tools normally - they're automatically configured!

Privacy & Performance

🔒 PII redaction - Auto-detect and redact emails, SSN, credit cards, phone numbers
⚡ 0.1-0.2ms overhead - Sub-millisecond proxy latency in passthrough mode
🛡️ Zero trust storage - Redact before hitting disk, not after
🔐 Local first - All data stays on your machine

📦 Installation

Option 1: Download Binary (Recommended)

Download the latest release for your platform from GitHub Releases:

# Linux/macOS: Extract and run
tar -xzf lunaroute-server-*.tar.gz
chmod +x lunaroute-server

# Optional: Add to PATH for global access
sudo mv lunaroute-server /usr/local/bin/

# Start using it immediately!
eval $(lunaroute-server env)

Option 2: Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/erans/lunaroute.git
cd lunaroute
cargo build --release --package lunaroute-server

# Binary location: target/release/lunaroute-server

# Start using it!
eval $(./target/release/lunaroute-server env)

🚀 Usage

Recommended: One-Command Setup

The fastest way to get started - automatically starts server and configures your shell:

# One command does everything!
eval $(lunaroute-server env)

# Now use your AI tools - they're automatically configured
# Both Claude Code and Codex CLI work immediately

What happens:

Server starts in background on port 8081
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL set to http://127.0.0.1:8081
OPENAI_BASE_URL set to http://127.0.0.1:8081/v1
Web UI available at http://127.0.0.1:8082

Custom port:

eval $(lunaroute-server env --port 8090)

Stop the server:

pkill -f "lunaroute-server serve"

Alternative: Manual Mode

If you prefer to manage the server yourself:

# Terminal 1: Start LunaRoute
lunaroute-server

# Terminal 2: Configure your shell
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8081
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8081/v1

# Now use Claude Code or Codex CLI
# View sessions at http://localhost:8082

What you get out of the box:

✓ OpenAI provider enabled (no API key - will use client auth)
✓ Anthropic provider enabled (no API key - will use client auth)
📡 API dialect: Both (OpenAI + Anthropic)
⚡ Dual passthrough mode: OpenAI→OpenAI + Anthropic→Anthropic (no normalization)
   - gpt-* models    → OpenAI provider (passthrough)
   - claude-* models → Anthropic provider (passthrough)
🚀 Bypass enabled for unknown API paths
📊 Session recording enabled (SQLite + JSONL)
🎨 Web UI available at http://localhost:8082

With Custom Configuration

Need more control? Use a config file:

# Save as config.yaml
host: "127.0.0.1"
port: 8081
api_dialect: "both"  # Already the default!

providers:
  openai:
    enabled: true
    base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"  # Or use ChatGPT backend
    # api_key: "sk-..."  # Optional: defaults to OPENAI_API_KEY env var

  anthropic:
    enabled: true
    # api_key: "sk-ant-..."  # Optional: defaults to ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var

lunaroute-server --config config.yaml

✨ Key Features

🎯 Dual-Dialect Passthrough (Default)

LunaRoute accepts both OpenAI and Anthropic formats simultaneously with zero normalization:

OpenAI format at /v1/chat/completions → routes to OpenAI
Anthropic format at /v1/messages → routes to Anthropic
Zero overhead - ~0.1-0.2ms added latency
100% API fidelity - preserves extended thinking, all response fields
No normalization - direct passthrough to native API

📊 Comprehensive Session Recording

Track everything that matters with dual storage:

SQLite Database - Fast queries and analytics:

SELECT model_used, COUNT(*), SUM(input_tokens), SUM(output_tokens)
FROM sessions
WHERE started_at > datetime('now', '-7 days')
GROUP BY model_used;

JSONL Logs - Human-readable, full request/response data:

# Watch live sessions
tail -f ~/.lunaroute/sessions/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)/session_*.jsonl | jq

# Search for specific content
grep -r "TypeError" ~/.lunaroute/sessions/

eval $(lunaroute-server env)

# Custom port
eval $(lunaroute-server env --port 8090)

# Custom host and port
eval $(lunaroute-server env --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8090)

# Check what it does without executing
lunaroute-server env
# Output:
#   export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081
#   export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081/v1
#   # LunaRoute server started on http://127.0.0.1:8081
#   # Web UI available at http://127.0.0.1:8082

What happens:

Server starts in background (detached from terminal)
Environment variables are set in your current shell
Server continues running even if you close the terminal
Both Claude Code and Codex CLI are instantly configured

Stop the server:

pkill -f "lunaroute-server serve"

      timeout_secs: 600              # Request timeout (default: 600)
      connect_timeout_secs: 10       # Connection timeout (default: 10)
      pool_max_idle_per_host: 32     # Pool size (default: 32)
      pool_idle_timeout_secs: 600    # Idle timeout (default: 600)
      tcp_keepalive_secs: 60         # Keepalive (default: 60)
      max_retries: 3                 # Retries (default: 3)

Or use environment variables:

export LUNAROUTE_OPENAI_TIMEOUT_SECS=300
export LUNAROUTE_OPENAI_POOL_MAX_IDLE=64

See Connection Pool Configuration for details.

Provider Switch Notifications

LunaRoute can automatically notify users when requests are routed to alternative providers due to rate limits, errors, or circuit breaker events.

Features:

🔔 Automatic user notifications via LLM response
🎛️ Global on/off with per-provider customization
🔄 Works with cross-dialect failover (OpenAI ↔ Claude)
📝 Template variables for customization
🛡️ Idempotent (no duplicate notifications)

Configuration:

routing:
  provider_switch_notification:
    enabled: true
    default_message: |
      IMPORTANT: Please inform the user that due to temporary service constraints,
      their request is being handled by an alternative AI service provider.
      Continue with their original request.

providers:
  anthropic-backup:
    type: "anthropic"
    # Custom message when THIS provider is used as alternative
    switch_notification_message: |
      Using Claude due to ${reason}. Quality remains the same.

Template Variables:

${original_provider} - Provider that failed
${new_provider} - Provider being used
${reason} - Generic reason (high demand, service issue, maintenance)
${model} - Model name

See examples/configs/provider-switch-notification.yaml for complete example.

💡 Real-World Use Cases

Debug Expensive Conversations

Problem: Your AI session cost $5 but you don't know why.

Solution: Check session stats to see the AI's output was extremely verbose.

Identify Performance Bottlenecks

Problem: Your AI assistant feels slow.

Solution: Session statistics reveal Bash commands take 850ms on average - optimize those!

Team Collaboration

Problem: Team shares one proxy but everyone has different API keys.

Solution: LunaRoute uses client-provided auth - no shared secrets needed.

Privacy & Compliance

Problem: Need to log sessions but can't store PII.

Solution: Enable automatic PII redaction - all sensitive data removed before hitting disk.
