...The project acts as a translation layer, receiving web requests in common formats (such as OpenAI-style endpoints) and forwarding them to Anthropic’s API in the required structure, while converting responses back into a familiar shape. This makes it easier to integrate Claude into existing toolchains, scripts, notebooks, or agent frameworks that do not have built-in support for Anthropic’s native SDKs. It abstracts away key differences like authentication choreography, request schema quirks, and streaming protocols so client code can remain unchanged when switching between models.
