Openclaw Claude Bridge

[繁體中文](README.zh.md) | English

An OpenAI-compatible HTTP proxy that lets [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) agents use Claude through [Claude Code CLI](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) — with tool calling, session memory, and extended thinking.

---

Why This Exists

OpenClaw speaks the OpenAI API format. Claude Code CLI speaks its own format. This bridge sits in between and translates — so your OC agents can talk to Claude without either side needing to change.
