cli-proxy-adapter

This is islee23520/cli-proxy-adapter (renamed from pi-proxy-models) — a maintained fork of victormilk/pi-proxy-models. Development for this line lives on this repo only.

Bridge that exposes CLIProxyAPIPlus models to two CLI-tool host families from one repo:

Log in once inside CLIProxyAPIPlus (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, Copilot, Kiro, GLM, Kimi, …). Both hosts then consume those subscriptions through CLIProxy’s unified OpenAI-compatible /v1 surface.

Shared catalog SSOT: ~/.agents/references/model-catalog.json
(live model ids still come from CLIProxy /v1/models).

Prerequisite: CLIProxyAPIPlus

Both install paths need a running proxy. See the CLIProxyAPIPlus README for Docker / compose setup.

Quick check:

curl -s "$CLIPROXY_URL/v1/models" | jq '.data | length'
# or, if your proxy is local:
# curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8317/v1/models | jq '.data | length'

There is no hardcoded default URL. You must set the base URL via env or config for each host (see below).

Install for Senpi / pi-agent variants

Registers a single provider name: cliproxy (openai-completions + /v1). Every discovered model appears under it (e.g. cliproxy/kimi-k3, cliproxy/grok-4.6).

1. Install the extension

From this repo root:

# preferred
senpi install .

# legacy pi-agent CLI
pi install .

# fallback if `pi install` is unavailable
mkdir -p ~/.pi/agent/extensions/cliproxy
ln -sfn "$(pwd)/index.ts" ~/.pi/agent/extensions/cliproxy/index.ts

One-shot test without installing:

pi -e ./index.ts

2. Configure the proxy URL

First match wins:

1. CLIPROXY_URL / CLIPROXY_API_KEY
2. ~/.senpi/agent/cliproxy.json
3. ~/.pi/agent/cliproxy.json for legacy pi-agent CLIs

Env:

export CLIPROXY_URL=https://your-proxy.example.com
export CLIPROXY_API_KEY=your-key   # optional if proxy has empty api-keys

Or file (~/.senpi/agent/cliproxy.json):

{
  "baseUrl": "https://your-proxy.example.com",
  "apiKey": "your-key"
}

Missing API key is tolerated (placeholder is sent). If the proxy’s api-keys: list is non-empty, set a matching key.

3. Use it

senpi --list-models cliproxy
senpi --provider cliproxy --model kimi-k3
senpi --provider cliproxy --model grok-4.6
senpi --provider cliproxy --model glm-5.2

In a session: Ctrl+P / /model, then pick a cliproxy/… model.

Legacy provider names cliproxy-openai and cliproxy-gemini are unregistered on load and on /cliproxy-refresh.

Each model carries a shared compat block so backends that reject OpenAI-only fields (e.g. Kimi K3) still tokenize cleanly: supportsStore: false, supportsDeveloperRole: false, maxTokensField: "max_tokens", plus reasoning-effort where supported.

Install for Grokomo / GrokBuild CLI variants

Installs the cliproxy-api-provider plugin. It keeps ~/.grok/config.toml [model.*] tables in sync with the catalog + live /v1/models, so context windows and reasoning effort work when [endpoints].models_base_url points at CLIProxy.

1. Install the plugin

From this repo root:

grokomo plugin install ./plugins/grok/cliproxy-api-provider --trust
grokomo plugin enable cliproxy-api-provider

# generic rust GrokBuild host CLIs with the same plugin API also work
grok plugin install ./plugins/grok/cliproxy-api-provider --trust
grok plugin enable cliproxy-api-provider

Fallback if the CLI cannot install:

mkdir -p ~/.grok/plugins
ln -sfn "$(pwd)/plugins/grok/cliproxy-api-provider" \
  ~/.grok/plugins/cliproxy-api-provider

2. Enable in user config

~/.grok/config.user.toml:

[plugins]
enabled = ["lfg", "cliproxy-api-provider"]

3. Point Grok at CLIProxy

Either set env for the sync script:

export CLIPROXY_BASE_URL=https://your-proxy.example.com/v1
export XAI_API_KEY=your-key   # if the proxy requires it

or leave baseUrl unset and reuse an existing [endpoints].models_base_url in ~/.grok/config.toml, or set plugin config (~/.grok/plugin-data/cliproxy-api-provider/config.json or the plugin’s config.json):

{
  "baseUrl": "https://your-proxy.example.com/v1",
  "defaultModel": "grok-4.6",
  "webSearch": "grok-4.20-multi-agent-0309",
  "defaultReasoningEffort": "xhigh",
  "envKey": "XAI_API_KEY"
}

4. Sync models

node ./plugins/grok/cliproxy-api-provider/scripts/sync-models.mjs --force

After install, SessionStart also runs the sync. In a Grok session: /cliproxy-sync.

Then open Grok and pick a CLIProxy model (default pin: grok-4.6).

Deeper layout / catalog editing: PLUGINS.md and plugins/grok/cliproxy-api-provider/README.md.

Install both (pi agent + Grok)

git clone https://github.com/islee23520/cli-proxy-adapter.git
cd cli-proxy-adapter
./scripts/install-all.sh

That script:

1. Installs the pi extension (pi install . or symlink fallback)
2. Installs/enables the Grok plugin (or symlink fallback)
3. Ensures cliproxy-api-provider is in [plugins].enabled
4. Runs sync-models.mjs --force

You still must set pi CLIPROXY_URL / ~/.pi/agent/cliproxy.json and Grok CLIPROXY_BASE_URL (or plugin / models_base_url) yourself.

Behaviour notes

• Metadata (contextWindow, maxTokens, reasoning, image) comes from MODEL_METADATA / the catalog; costs are 0 (subscription, not token bill).
• pi startup — if the proxy is down at load, the extension still registers with a static fallback list (no noisy console warn before the host owns I/O). Use /cliproxy-refresh when the proxy is up.
• Grok sync — if the proxy is down, the hook skips and leaves config alone.
• Auth headers are host/SDK-specific; pi does not invent a global Bearer for every backend.

Verifying all host CLIs

bun test covers the extension logic. bun run verify:hosts additionally smoke-tests the real host CLIs on this machine — both families, original and fork: senpi/pi (pi-agent) and grokomo/grok (GrokBuild). Every CLI found on PATH is checked; missing CLIs are reported as SKIP, but a family with no CLI at all fails. bun run check runs both.

Troubleshooting

Proxy unreachable (pi)

curl -s "${CLIPROXY_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:8317}/v1/models" | jq '.data | length'

302 / unauthorized — link the upstream account in the proxy auths/ dir, or use a key that matches the proxy’s api-keys: list.

Models missing in pi — /cliproxy-refresh or restart pi.

Models wrong in Grok — re-run:

node ~/.grok/plugins/cliproxy-api-provider/scripts/sync-models.mjs --force

baseUrl not set (Grok sync) — set CLIPROXY_BASE_URL, plugin config.json baseUrl, or [endpoints].models_base_url in the active $GROK_HOME/config.toml. CLIPROXY_URL is the shared preferred setting for both host families; CLIPROXY_BASE_URL remains a Grok-only compatibility alias.
