Gemini for Claude Code: An Anthropic-Compatible Proxy

This server acts as a bridge, enabling you to use **Claude Code** with Google's powerful **Gemini models**. It translates API requests and responses between the Anthropic format (used by Claude Code) and the Gemini format (via LiteLLM), allowing seamless integration.

Features

Claude Code Compatibility with Gemini: Directly use the Claude Code CLI with Google Gemini models.
Seamless Model Mapping: Intelligently maps Claude Code model requests (e.g., haiku, sonnet, opus aliases) to your chosen Gemini models.
LiteLLM Integration: Leverages LiteLLM for robust and flexible interaction with the Gemini API.
Enhanced Streaming Support: Handles streaming responses from Gemini with robust error recovery for malformed chunks and API errors.
Complete Tool Use for Claude Code: Translates Claude Code's tool usage (function calling) to and from Gemini's format, with robust handling of tool results.
Advanced Error Handling: Provides specific and actionable error messages for common Gemini API issues with automatic fallback strategies.
Resilient Architecture: Gracefully handles Gemini API instability with smart retry logic and fallback to non-streaming modes.
Diagnostic Endpoints: Includes /health and /test-connection for easier troubleshooting of your setup.
Token Counting: Offers a /v1/messages/count_tokens endpoint compatible with Claude Code.

Recent Improvements (v2.5.0)
