Claude Code Ollama Proxy

Use Claude Code inside Visual Studio / VS Code GitHub Copilot Chat — including Copilot's native diff / Accept-Reject UI — with no extra extension. The app runs a local server that implements the Ollama API and drives your existing Claude Code CLI login.

Loading

Getting started

1. Install the Claude Code CLI and sign in (claude login).
2. Run the console or tray app — it serves on http://127.0.0.1:11434.
3. In Copilot Chat, add an Ollama provider pointed at http://127.0.0.1:11434, then pick a claude-* model. Switch to Agent mode to let Claude edit files.

Features

Main window

• 🟢 Home — start / stop / restart the proxy, see live status, and copy the listening URL.
• 📜 Logs — watch the proxy's live log output in-app.
• ⚙️ Settings — change the port, pick a theme (System / Light / Dark), run at startup, run as administrator, choose whether closing minimizes to tray, start minimized to the tray, and reset the window size or all settings.
• ℹ️ About — version info and a link to the project page.

System-tray icon

• 🎨 Live status glyph — the tray (and taskbar / title-bar) icon shows a status dot that changes color with the proxy state.
• 💬 Tooltip — hover to see the running state and listening URL.
• 🖱️ Single click — opens the main window.

Tray right-click menu

• 🪟 Open — show the main window.
• 📋 Copy URL — copy the current listening URL (shown inline in the menu).
• ▶️ Start / ⏹️ Stop / 🔄 Restart — control the proxy without opening the window (enabled to match the current state).
• ❌ Quit — fully exit the app (closing the window keeps it running in the tray).

Reliability

• 🛡️ Fault-tolerant logging and global exception handlers with crash logging keep the app running and capture failures for diagnosis.
