Useful for seeing prompt and token usage
From 2 comments
This is great. When I work with AI on large, tricky code bases I try to do a collaboration where it hands off things to me that may result in large number of tokens (excess tool…
EMM_386 on HNThis is fantastic. Claude doesn't make it easy to inspect what it's sending - which would actually be really useful for refining the project-specific prompts.

Disabled TLS verification (ssl_insecure=true), a serious security flaw; maker says it was fixed
From 2 comments
This tool looks like it unconditionally disables tls verification for upstream requests. It shells out to mitmproxy with "--set", "ssl_insecure=true" This took all of 5 minutes…
catlifeonmars on HNJust fixed it and implemented a simple http relay, eliminating the mitmproxy and the ssl_insecure=true. The new implementation uses TLS verification, doing last tests and merging…

Support Gemini and other providers

You don't need to mess with certificates - you can point CC at a HTTP endpoint and it'll happily play along. If you build a DIY proxy you can also mess with the prompt on the…

LiteLLM
From 2 comments
LiteLLM does this, and can do a lot more beyond that.
rgj on HNI use litellm (slightly modified to allow cloud code telemetry pass through) and langfuse. There is no need for MitM, you can set Api base address to your own proxy in all the…
