Show HN: Claude Code in Cursor (github.com)

A new local proxy tool called Claude Code in Cursor has been announced, enabling users to route requests from the Anthropic API through their Claude Code subscription, with an automatic fallback to the direct API if usage limits are reached. This setup allows developers to integrate Claude's capabilities seamlessly into their applications while also maintaining continuous service if the subscription limits are exceeded. However, users are cautioned that this proxy method may violate Anthropic's terms of service and should be used with discretion. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it provides a workaround for developers to maximize the value of their Claude Code subscriptions and mitigate the impact of rate limits. The technical implementation involves running the proxy on localhost, with detailed instructions for setting up a secure Cloudflare Tunnel to expose the local server. Additionally, the proxy logs request metadata, allowing users to track usage and potential savings. However, users should note that the solution may lack some features of the full Anthropic API experience, such as control over thinking budgets and certain beta features.
