Claude / OpenAI Chat / Codex Responses / Gemini API Proxy - CCX

CCX is a high-performance AI API proxy and protocol translation gateway for Claude, OpenAI Chat / Codex Responses, and Gemini. It provides a unified entrypoint, built-in web administration, failover, multi-key management, channel orchestration, and model routing.

Features

• Integrated backend + frontend architecture with single-port deployment
• Dual-key authentication with PROXY_ACCESS_KEY and optional ADMIN_ACCESS_KEY
• Web admin console for channel management, testing, and monitoring
• Support for Claude Messages, OpenAI Chat Completions, Codex Responses, and Gemini APIs
• Protocol conversion across Claude Messages, OpenAI Chat, Gemini, and Responses
• Smart scheduling with priorities, promotion windows, health checks, and circuit breaking
• Per-channel API key rotation, proxy support, custom headers, and model allowlists
• Model remapping, fast mode, and verbosity controls
• Streaming and non-streaming support
• Responses session tracking for multi-turn workflows

Channel Orchestration

Visual channel management with drag-and-drop priority adjustment and real-time health monitoring.

Add Channel

Supports multiple upstream service types (Claude/Codex/Gemini) with flexible API key, model mapping, and request parameter configuration.

Traffic Stats

Real-time monitoring of request traffic, success rate, and response latency per channel.

Architecture

CCX exposes one backend entrypoint:

Client -> backend :3000 ->
  |- /                    -> Web UI
  |- /api/*               -> Admin API
  |- /v1/messages         -> Claude Messages proxy
  |- /v1/chat/completions -> OpenAI Chat proxy
  |- /v1/responses        -> Codex Responses proxy
  |- /v1/models           -> Models API
  `- /v1beta/models/*     -> Gemini proxy

Key properties:

• Single port
• Embedded frontend assets
• No separate reverse proxy required
• Admin and proxy traffic can use different keys

See ARCHITECTURE.md for detailed design notes.
