shunt

A proxy for AI coding agents — pool accounts, beat rate limits.

Shunt sits between your coding agents and your AI providers. It pools multiple accounts behind a single local endpoint, always routing to whoever has the most capacity left — so you never hit a rate limit mid-session.

Works with: Claude Code · Cursor · Codex CLI · Windsurf · any OpenAI or Anthropic SDK

Providers: Anthropic · OpenAI · Gemini · Groq · Mistral · DeepSeek · OpenRouter · Together · Fireworks · Ollama · local models

Install

macOS / Linux

curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ramc10/shunt/main/install.sh | sh

via Cargo

cargo install shunt-proxy

Quick start

shunt setup      # import your Claude Code session + configure your shell
shunt start      # start the proxy

That's it. Your tools will route through shunt automatically.

To add more accounts:

shunt add-account personal   # another Claude account (OAuth)
shunt add-account groq       # Groq (prompts for API key)
shunt add-account codex      # ChatGPT Pro (device-code flow)

What you get

No more waiting on rate limits

If an account hits a limit, shunt switches to the next one instantly. If every account is drained, it holds your request open and retries the moment the first one resets — your agent session never fails.

Savings tracker

Every request is tracked against API pricing. Shunt shows you how much you've saved by using subscriptions instead.
